is an upcoming action role-playing game developed and published by Square Enix for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It will be the first ''Kingdom Hearts'' game to be featured on a Microsoft platform, having previously only released on Sony Computer Entertainment and Nintendo platforms, and the first to originally release on more than one console. It is the eleventh installment in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series. Concepts for the game began as early as 2006, after the release of ''Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix'' in Japan, with the game not officially confirmed to be in development until E3 2013, after years of rumors and speculation. Set after the events of ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'', returning protagonist Sora is joined by Donald Duck, Goofy, King Mickey and Riku in searching for the seven guardians of light and the "Key to Return Hearts", in an attempt to stop Master Xehanort's plan to bring about a second Keyblade War in an attempt to balance the light and darkness. ==Gameplay== Gameplay in ''Kingdom Hearts III'' is similar to its predecessors, with director Tetsuya Nomura stating that the combat would be along the lines of the system seen in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', with an evolution similar to what was seen from ''Kingdom Hearts'' to ''Kingdom Hearts II'', and closely tied to the gameplay in ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance''. He also revealed that the handheld games' combat was a place he could experiment and try new things, and that some of the well received additions may appear in ''Kingdom Hearts III''.〔〔 "Drive Forms" are also being considered to return. Sora returns as the main playable character, with other characters being considered such as King Mickey, if it fits in the context of the game, with multiplayer elements also being considered.〔〔 Sora faces Heartless and Nobodies in the game.〔 New gameplay elements seen in a trailer revealed at E3 2015, showcased new enemies, traversal elements such as wall running and jumping, summons, Keyblade transformations, and team-up attacks, which combine Sora, Donald and Goofy into one attack.〔〔〔 From the trailer, Nomura explained about the Keyblade transformations, revealing that it was conceived as early as the development of ''Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix'' and would be similar to Aqua's ability in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' saying, "Each Keyblade transformation is unlocked by clearing all missions in one of (game's ) worlds, and each individual world offers its own unique Keyblade transformation."〔〔 Examples include transforming into a rocket launcher, dual bow guns, a large sword, magic blasters and a Pegasus leading a chariot.〔 In addition to the traditional "smaller" enemies, the player will face giant bosses, which give "Sora greater freedom of movement and room to experiment with attacks–including the new theme-park-ride summon attacks,"〔 known as "Attraction Flow",〔 such as "Mad Tea Party" "Big Magic Mountain", "Pirate Ship", and "Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters". On the gameplay, Nomura stated: "The action's pretty frantic. The really bold action we've always had is getting even crazier. ''Kingdom Hearts III'' has three-person parties, but NPCs and other characters join the fight in each individual world, and the resulting action is really flashy and exciting. The enemy AI is a lot more intricate, too, and I think the gameplay will reflect that new dynamic balance. 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." He later revealed that new gameplay elements are the "skeleton" of the game, saying, "When creating a ''Kingdom Hearts'' game, we start with a gameplay system that I think would be a fun element, and once we have an idea of what kind of gameplay or system we want in place, we flesh out the story around it, surrounding the basic concept of what kind of fun we’re going to have with this new installment." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kingdom Hearts III」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
