Kingdom Hearts 3 E3 Trailer: 10 Details You Totally Missed

8. Expanded Shotlocks

Shotlocks have been confirmed to return for a long while now, but we've never seen them look quite as expansive as this.

Birth By Sleep's introduction of Shotlocks made it so you could only have a couple of variations that had to be swapped out from a menu. Earlier trailers for Kingdom Hearts 3 showed that Sora had two different Shotlock attacks to use at any given moment, one that was a cinematic rush move and another that fired off a bunch of light spheres.

The Orchestra trailer showed that different Forms (and perhaps even different Keyblades) have their own unique Shotlocks, as Sora's Guard Form is shown to have two completely different Shotlocks with presumably different effects. We even get a glimpse of one of the Shotlocks, where Sora calls down a big ball of electricity and guards it with his shield, sending sparks everywhere.

This implies that each Drive Form is really be expanded to their fullest potential, giving Sora a host of brand new abilities.
