RUMORTOID: Will Kingdom Hearts III be announced at Tokyo Game Show? photo

The latest issue of Official Playstation Magazine has a tiny snippet tucked away in its rumors section regarding the next game in the Kingdom Hearts series. It's simple and to the point:

“Kingdom Hearts III is currently in development as a PS3 exclusive and will be announced at TGS.”

If true, this is by no means surprising news on any front. Rumors have been floating around for about a month now that an announcement for the Square/Enix and Disney mash-up was on the horizon. And, with the core of the franchise having found its home on Sony consoles since inception, it makes perfect sense that the trend would continue. In a time when exclusives have been plucked left and right from Sony, this might give them a needed bump in that department. 

Even though the second game had the highly annoying flaw of being just too damn easy, I hold Kingdom Hearts in very high esteem and would absolutely love to get confirmation on this. In fact, I'll even go so far as to say that if this remains an exclusive, I will have a PS3 in my home by release day. And if they brutally slaughter Donald so that he stops wasting all my items, I promise to buy fifty copies.

A guy can dream, right?

I should clarify, the game hasn't been announced yet, so no actual title exists.

This title does exist. In fact, I'm so certain it does exit that I'd put $10,000 on the fact that it'll be announced at TGS.

Maybe the "The Keyblade Wars" subtitle is incorrect but KH3 will most assuredly be announced soon.

Honestly, if this gets announced anytime soon, I will buy possibly 2 PS3s, and multiple copies of this game. I cannot wait.

Hurray! Too bad it probably won't see American shores until late 2010.

Yeah, it won't be released anytime soon, even if it's announced today.

Considering there is a DS title (365 Days) and a PSP title (BBS) in the works, and Nomura is working on FF Dissidia AND FFvsXIII, I can't imagine who'd have time to work on KH3.

Expect a lame CG teaser at best. I doubt we'll even get that.

Seriously, if this is a PS3 exclusive, the deal will be sealed. This will be the first console generation where I will have own all three consoles.

Okay, "The Keyblade Wars" is fake, people. That's fan art up there.

Even if it IS shown at TGS (PLEASE GOD PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE), it won't be released for a very long time. We still don't have the DS and PSP games that were announced.

You can set Donald and Goofy to never use items. I immediately turned it to that when I started KHII, already having experienced the frustration of it from KHI.

I was about to gush over this, but then I realized I remember very little of the second game. Therefore, I will remain cautiously optimistic as to the quality of this next installment.

@MechaMonkey

The second game blew the first one out of the water. Therefore this will blow the second one out of the water. It just makes sense. :P
