Kingdom HeartsThere's hasn't been too much word about Square Enix's Kingdom Hearts. And for most of us, the closest we ever got to a preview of what's to come was the ending trailer in KHII, which looked more like something out of a Sentai show.

Then there was Square Enix's highly photographed presence at Jump Festa, with the enigmatic "New Project Starting in 2007" message that popped up shortly after their trailers. And that's why we're happy to be reporting this bit of news, courtesy of IGN, who picked up the tidbit from Famitsu, who in turn extracted the info from producer Tetsuya Nomura.

Nomura-san's apparently promising that there are multiple projects underway for the Kingdom Hearts franchise. While he can't provide for any concrete details on the said projects, he does say that new info should develop midway next year. So there you have it - We advice the fans to keep calm and just wait for other news snippets that might crawl out of the woodwork, and for now, satisfy themselves with the swarms of Sora cosplayers on youtube - there's plenty to go around.

knowing square, it'll be out for DS and PS2, and Wii.

And is'nt 'It's a wonderful world ' a Nomura DS game? I wonder then, where would his next project be...

 » Well....

KHIII is most likely going to be a PS3 exclusive, but playing it on the Wii would be cool. Maybe some rip-offs for the DS and (I hope) a rip-off for the PSP.
"It's a wonderful world" is a Nomura game, and looking at that, he probably will have something for the DS...

We have no idea which platform this will be on. Square-Enix has said they don't want to supprot one system too much. Seeing that this is a big title it could end up on the 360 as easy as it could be on the Wii. Everyone thinks it's just a PS3 game but there really isn't any reason to believe that whole heartedly

Its very obvious in fact....nomura said once he want to do it...

That is.....a Kingdom Hearts Movie

i am ceratin....a movie will be in development in 2007...wether it will be like Advent children...or will be available at cinemas is yet to be known.

P.S: A blu-ray version is coming for FFVII:Advent Children....Xbox fans...you have to see this movie to understand what Sqaure-Enix is..

i wish i can help...but..well..... :D

since the ps3 is getting the ffxiii, i suppose the khiii will be reaching the ps3 some year/s later. this a common marketing strategy. or they could rather opt to release khiii on some other console besides ps3, the ds is really the first pick due to its popularity.

The KH series sucks anyway, it's like a FF-Lite version for little kids who can't get through Final Fantasy. My little brother plays through these games instead of FFX etc.


3 Months Till PS3...wohoo :P
