Kingdom Hearts 3: 10 Major Reveals From D23 2018

Our best look yet at all things Kingdom Hearts 3.

February 9th's Kingdom Hearts event at D23 Japan gave fans what is easily our best look ever at Kingdom Hearts 3 yet.

Considering last year's D23 only revealed a small amount of things to the public, many people weren't expecting to learn anything at all about Kingdom Hearts 3. Going against all expectations, Square Enix not only gave us one big trailer, they actually gave us two.

Both trailers provide a look at the clearly nearly-complete Kingdom Hearts 3, with some vastly improved graphics and a range of features that have never been seen before.

Considering that early trailers for the game showed a plastic-looking Sora and didn't even feature working health bars, it's pretty amazing to see how far Square Enix have come in just a few years.

Although one trailer is a lot bigger than the other, both have plenty of details to dissect, and both reveal some pretty massive details to patient Kingdom Hearts fans (because man, it has been a long wait). Let's hope that the next trailer for the game can give us even a small amount of the same greatness D23 did.

10. Monster's Inc. World Confirmed

Easily the most notable thing to come out of D23 was the confirmation of another Pixar world in Kingdom Hearts 3- Monster's Inc.

Unfortunately, this doesn't really come as much of a surprise as leaks during the past few months already revealed to us most of what we saw of the new world, although there are significant graphical changes to Sora, Donald and Goofy's monster designs.

The world features the trio in the Monster's Incorporated building with Boo, Sulley and Mike, although whether the visit takes place during the film or after is entirely up for speculation, as the whole facility looks a bit abandoned. Whether Square Enix would potentially change the ending for Monster's Inc to fit Kingdom Hearts 3 is another question entirely.

One of the main features of the world appears to be the doors, similarly to how they functioned in the actual Monster's Inc film, although whether they act as transports to other worlds isn't seen in the trailer.

All of this makes the Monsters Inc world one of the most exciting to appear in Kingdom Hearts yet.
