Auch wenn schon vor langer Zeit bekannt wurde, dass Kingdom Hearts III sich in Entwicklung befindet, so sind die Informationen immer sehr rar gesät.

Jetzt erschien ein Bild der Box einer kommenden Play Arts Kai-Figur von Sora. Das Besondere daran ist aber, dass der Rückentext neue Story-Informationen beinhaltet. Die wohl größte Information auf der Box ist, dass die Protagonisten auf der Suche nach dem Schlüssel sind, um Herzen zurückkehren zu lassen, was im Bereich der Kingdom Hearts-Reihe einige Dinge bedeuten kann. Der restliche Text ist zudem ein leichter Spoiler für Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance, weshalb für den folgenden Text eine Warnung gilt.

With the world under the control of a single Master, the final struggle for true peace begins.

Through countless adventures across many worlds in his long battle against the darkness, Sora, once a little boy who only dreamed worlds beyond his island even existed, has grown up to a dashing young man. Now he is realizing that that battle has played out exactly as Master Xehanort had planned, and the second Keyblade War, the final struggle between light and dark, looms ahead. To counter the overwhelming darkness, Sora and his friends must gather the seven guardians of light. His best friend Riku and King Mickey seek out a battle-scarred Keyblade wielder, while Sora, Donald, and Goofy set off on a journey to find “the Key to Return Hearts.” Never-before-featured Disney worlds set the stage for another daring adventure to save the universe!

Chosen by the Keyblade, he is the one whose heart’s light never fails to shine as a beacon of hope.

Sora, the brave hero chosen by the Keyblade, has always had a strong sense of justice. Through his many battles against darkness, he has grown and learned about the world immensely. Drawn to his light, many friends have lent him their support and granted him their powers to counter the darkness: Riku, the childhood friend he grew up with on Destiny Islands; Donald and Goofy, the two comrades with whom he has shared his adventures from the very beginning; and King Mickey, who unfailingly supports Sora with his own mighty strength. As the world becomes enveloped in another battle against darkness, the Keyblade wielder and his friends must rise up against Master Xehanort and thwart his plot to incite another Keyblade War.

Da die Figur bereits am 30. Januar erscheinen soll, könnte es sein, dass in den nächsten Wochen noch einige Infos zum Spiel bekannt gegeben werden könnten.
