Kingdom Hearts III was officially announced at Sony's E3 2013 media briefing and it took Square Enix "only" four and a half years to finish the title, as this new jRPG was released on PS4 and Xbox One on January 25, 2019 in Japan and Asia, and four days later in North America and Europe. According to the Japanese studio, over five million copies of the game have been shipped worldwide since then.
In Enix's latest video game, the player has a unique chance to embark on a mesmerizing journey beyond time and space with Sora, Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, Riku, and Goofy, interacting with well-known heroes and villains from the beloved Disney-created universes of
Tangled, Frozen, Hercules, Winnie the Pooh, Pirates of the Caribbean, Wreck it Ralph, Toy Story, Big Hero 6, and many more.
Considering that the original
Kingdom Hearts and
Kingdom Hearts II sold around 6.3 million and 5.2 million copies respectively, the third entry in the acclaimed series may surpass their lifetime sales in the coming days. As a reminder,
KHIII currently is the second best-reviewed PlayStation 4 game of the year, just behind Capcom’s
Resident Evil 2, sitting at a fabulous 86% score on Metacritic. Take a look:
