Square Enix has released several new screenshots forKingdom Hearts III, an action-RPG that is allegedly still releasing sometime soon. Whileprevious trailers and image batcheshave focused on new Disney stories, we are instead shown some familiar locations, mainly the original world of Twilight Town.Those who still rememberKingdom Hearts IIfrom all the way back in 2006 will remember the crew of Hayner, Pence, and Olette from Twilight Town, being the virtual friends of Roxas in his simulated version of the area, with Sora and buddies meeting the real ones later in the game. A tweet from the officialKingdom HeartsTwitter account hints at a part in the story for Roxas, who apparently needs “help.“From my personal recollection of the franchise’s lore, I remember Roxas re-merging with Sora at the end ofII, but I vaguely remember some hullabaloo fromDream Drop Distanceabout Seven Lights and 13 Darknesses, and I’d assume that Roxas is somehow involved in the plot to gather these forcesâat least, that’s what I think. He’s onthe box art, so his return shouldn’t be too much of a surprise.As for the new screenshots of Olympus, it’s nice to see another facet of the world of Herculesâthe first game took us to a Coliseum, while the second brought players deeper into the Underworld. This time, we’re going the opposite direction upwards to the land of the godsâprobably thanks to better graphics technology. Tate Donovan willreprise his voice roleas Hercules in the game.To me, seeing old faces like Roxas and Ienzo is a wake-up call to catch up on my Kingdom Hearts loreâSquare Enixreleased story videosthat hopefully assist in that.Kingdom Hearts IIIwill release on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on July 03, 2025 (probably), witha compilationto release on October 30 for PS4.
