Rumor: KHIII to be shown at TGS as PS3 exclusive

Posted on August 31st, 2008 at 22:31 EDT

According to the October issue of the Official PlayStation Magazine, it's rumored that Square Enix will not only reveal Kingdom Hearts III at the Tokyo Game Show, but announce the title as a PlayStation 3 exclusive.

“Kingdom Hearts III is currently in development as a PS3 exclusive and will be announced at TGS.” -OPM

Rumors have been circling this title since early last year, with speculation coming from both viewers at the Square Enix Party in the Closed Mega Theatre in 2007, and players who beat Kingdom Hearts 2 and unlocked the secret trailer. With the Tokyo Game Show set to begin on October 9, it won't be too much longer until we verify or disprove this information.

Why would it not be exclusive at all? Seriously, people are too paranoid since the 360 incident. Come on, KH has always been PS exclusive (at least the numbered games).

i thought sora's story was done, which sucked cuz it wouldn't be KH without sora and the gang, but this is definitely something to look forward to, and would be even more awesome if this rumor became valid. we can only hope...................................

sque-nix would have to give us more exlcusives to make up for the lack of support ff13 multi, delyaed LR, So4(?), and IU(?)

Isn't Nomura the head of the KH projects?  He's also the head of VSXIII and is keeping that exclusive and from interviews, he also loves the PS3 hardware.  So if he's heading up KHIII as well, then I guess it's a given.

im with chrisandmyps3 on this, ive never really liked the series either, its way over hyped, but i do think since it is a popular series, if it were a PS3 exclusive it would help the PS3 greatly, cus the system needs all the help it can get to gain leverage. i do hope this is true tho.

@ fkPs3, people attack thing's they are afraid of. But that's kid's for ya.

@Dr Tee  If they can do a 2004-2005 trailer for MGS4 with Playstation 2 hardware because PS3 dev kits didn't even exist yet, I think they could probably get some kind of announcement out for KHIII.

yeah definently check out birth by sleep! rumored to be on the psp. i read about it on the playstation forums, but the ending video is actually the beginning of birth by sleep. theres already a 3 minute video out showing what happens after the secret video.

Its Nomura which is the lead designer for Kingdom Hearts. Hes also the lead designer for Final Fantasy Versus 13 which is staying exclusive because well think of him as Kojima for Square-Enix pretty much. Which means I guess you can expect this to be PlayStation 3 exclusive as well. I'm not sure if it'll be announced at TGS, but I can expect that the game is going to be exclusive to PlayStation 3. By the way Square-Enix think highly of this guy, they'll do what he wants them to do. They did after all throw a party just for him, himself.

For some people like myself this would me MEGA. I love this game 1000 times mroe then i could ever like the FF series so i really hope this game is built from the ground up utilizing the PS3 to its fullest potential.

KHIII was my number one reason to buy the PS3, i knew with the graphics procesor and the cell drive they could achive the perfect KH, but lets wait and see

hm.exclusiv or not,i want it

Couldnt care less bout SE anymore.

I highly doubt that Versus will stay an exclusive as it is still a way off the release date. So they said about FF13 that it will be for Playstation 3 only in cloud trailers.

This one as well

psn id: gingo.... with all the crap Square Enix have giving to ps3 owners recently i think it would put them in a better light if they made this a ps3 exclusive but with their recent reputation i can't see them doing it

When will you people learn about what the word currently.  Currently means as of now which means that it is subject to change.  And why are thet showing a picture of batman? jk  gingo even if they do keep it an exclusive it will never put them in a better light.  I'm too jaded already

Square needs to give us some exclusives, they gave Infinite Undiscovery and Star Ocean to 360, give us freakin KH, but atleast thanks for Versus XIII, WHEN it comes out

kh is one of my favorite games of all time if it is ps3 exclusive this is more than to make up for the ffxiii going multiplat.

Seeing how Nomura was the creator of the KH series I don't see it going exclusive, but who knows. Anyway Justin the pictures you posted are for Birth By Sleep a PSP KH game, which is pretty much the prequel to the entire  series. Just trying to clear things up a bit.

if this turns out to be true then Squenix really swing the ball back to Sony...

Yea, right. SE will claim this to be a PS3 exclusive all the way up until a few months before it comes out then say it's coming to Xbox 360.  Just like they did with FF

posted 4:02pm EDT - September 1st, 2008

if this game was going to move millions of ps3 then microsoft would make it go multi plat like they did ff13.any big threats to the 360 install base and they will throw money at it or them lol.

um they're not making a Kingdom Hearts III

If anyone has been paying attention...

Square Enis is making 3 new Kingdom Hearts Series:

Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep - for the PSP

Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days - For the DS

Kingdom Hearts: Coded - for the mobile phone

There is even proof. behind the scenes videos, preview scans, screenshoots, inerviews with square enix. I dont know why PSU doesnt know this..

at this point i couldnt possibly care any less for square enix then i do at this very moment. they can go suuck off microshaft and put burger kingdom hearts 3 on the 360. bunch of no good sellouts.

I hope this isn't another disappointment on the way for the ps fans. We all knew ffxiii was ps3 exclusive till it was announced otherwise. I hope KHIII truely remains exclusive this time around square enix. well let s wait n c.

 KH is one of the best rpgs and having the disney Characters there made it a bit kiddish but it had a very compelling storyline  and do hope that they reveal at at TGS
