KINGDOM HEARTS III IN A NUTSHELL:

  1. Developer: Square Enix
  2. Publisher: Square Enix
  3. Genre: jRPG
  4. Platforms: PlayStation 4, Xbox One
  5. Release date: January 25, 2019. (Asia), January 29, 2019. (Europe, USA)

Square Enix boasted (via Gematsu) the sales results of Kingdom Hearts III, the latest jRPG from the industry veteran Tetsuya Nomura. It turns out that this title is the fastest-selling part of the cycle – in just a few days (in Europe and the USA the release took place on January 29, in Asia the production was released 4 days earlier) the total number of sold copies (both in digital distribution platforms and through physical stores) reached 5 million.

Kingdom Hearts III is a jRPG, whose action takes place in a universe that combines motifs and characters from various game and movie worlds (including Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Hercules, Sleeping Beauty, Toy Story and Pirates of the Caribbean). The production is a direct continuation of Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance, released in 2012 on Nintendo 3DS and at the same time the grand finale of a story started seventeen years ago – in the first part of the series released on PlayStation 2.

Let’s quickly remind that Kingdom Hearts III is available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The game rakes in great review scores in the media – reviewers praise mainly its well-designed history, engaging combat system and beautiful graphics.
