The latest updates for "Kingdom Hearts 3" reveal possible new game content as director Tetsuya Nomura divulged more information about his and Square Enix's DLC plans in the latest issue of Weekly Famitsu (via Gamerant). He also talked about the pressures of handling and developing the sequel alongside his other project, "Final Fantasy 7" remake.

The third game will feature Sora and his friends traveling to new Disney Worlds to protect them from the Heartless and Master Xehanort's new Organization XIII. Square Enix confirmed that they will launch the game on January 29, 2019, for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles.

Tetsuya Nomura on 'Kingdom Hearts 3's' post-launch content

According to Gamerant, Tetsuya Nomura hinted that he and his team want to expand the gameplay for "Kingdom Hearts 3" rather than sell in-game items. He added that if they are planning to have post-launch DLC for the game, then it will be a standalone storyline and the sequel will not have any season pass.

Nomura also revealed that he is worried about the sequel's game size and how the development team is making longer cutscenes to reduce loading time. Square Enix revealed "Frozen" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" worlds are coming to "KH3" during their presentation at E3 2018. Other Disney Worlds added to the game are "Tangled," "Hercules," "Toy Story," "Monsters Inc.," "Ratatouille," and "Big Hero 6."

Sora will also have new Keyblade transformations and summons to aid him against the Heartless during battle.

Returning characters in the sequel include King Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Hercules, Captain Jack Sparrow, Riku, Kairi, Axel, Larxene, Marluxia, Aqua, Xemnas, and more.

The pressures of making the sequel

According to KH Insider, Nomura told Italian website Multiplayer that "Kingdom Hearts 3" and "Final Fantasy 7" remake were announced early out of necessity.

Despite the juggling both titles, he and his team managed to balance them in terms of development. However, they found difficulty in determining which of the two titles will make the most impact and profit in video game sales.

Video game fans were disappointed that Square Enix did not showcase "Final Fantasy 7" remake at the E3 2018, but there are other video game events yet to come this year such as Gamescom, Tokyo Game Show, and PlayStation Experience. As for "KH3," fans are hyped about it and they cannot wait to test it out next year. Square Enix promised that there will not be any delays.
