A game 12 years and two whole generations of playstations in the making, the long awaited sequel to the beloved Kingdom Hearts franchise will finally be releasing soon! Kingdom Hearts, at its most basic, tells the story of a young boy named Sora, who together with his friends Donald, Goofy, and numerous other Disney and Final Fantasy characters, works to save his friends, and protect all worlds from harm.

For the long-awaited Kingdom Hearts 3, it will supposedly be the final chapter in the Dark Seeker Saga, which tells of the battles between Sora and the evil Xehanort. Believing light and darkness must remain in balance, master Xehanort seeks to spark war against the tyranny of light to restore equilibrium. In an effort to undermine Xehanort’s plot, Sora, Donald and Goofy band together once again to travel various Disney worlds and undo his efforts.

Picking up where the series left off after Dream Drop Distance and Birth By Sleep: A Fragmentary Passage, even if it all sounds a bit complicated, don’t worry. Just kick back and enjoy the gameplay for now, and the story will become clearer in time.
