'It's the final episode in the 'Dark Seeker' saga that began with the original KH, and it'll depict the final battle with Xehanort.'

For example, there's a foe that's shaped like a vehicle, and Sora may jump on it and fly around that's already implemented.' The enemy AI is a lot more intricate, too, and I think the gameplay will reflect that new dynamic balance. It'll still be a while before KH3 comes out, but Nomura promised that it'll be back in the public spotlight soon, either at the Tokyo Game Show this fall, the Disney-oriented D23 Expo Japan event in October, or both. 'The FF15 and KH3 teams are aware of each other,' he said. 'They're constantly honing their work at this point in development.
