8 Most Anticipated PlayStation 4 Exclusives Of 2018

7. Kingdom Hearts III

When it's out: TBC 2018

What it is: A sequel thirteen years in the making that combines patented Disney magic with that of Square Enix, all wrapped up in a charmingly neat action-RPG bundle.

As is the case with the latter's upcoming Final Fantasy VII Remake, famed game director Tetsuya Nomura is in charge for the sequel, so it's only fair to cut the man some slack over the long gestation period, but fingers crossed that the current release date can be adhered to, we've waited long enough to see Master Xehanort receive his whoopin'.

Speaking of which, the elderly Keyblade Master's compendium of mortal enemies has expanded somewhat since his last attempt to instigate war.

Thanks to Disney's acquisition of Pixar in the years since Kingdom Hearts II's release, new worlds centred around the animation studio's franchises are in for the ride. Toy Story, Big Hero 6 and Tangled are confirmed to appear, with a few extras on top of that no doubt being kept under wraps.

There's also the 'small' matter of Lucasfilm now being a subsidiary of Disney, but don't expect the Jedi order to get involved. EA has publishing rights for any and all Star Wars games, and we wouldn't want to detract from the bang-up job they're doing with the license, now would we?
