It's been a big week for
Kingdom Hearts 3. The highly anticipated game, which has seemingly been in development forever, not only
received an official release date this week but
also introduced us to the world of Frozen. For most fans, that probably would've been enough, but Square Enix wasn't done. During Sony's E3 PlayStation showcase we received yet another new trailer, this time revealing that we will be returning to the world of
Pirates of the Caribbean.
As revealed in the trailer below, the
Pirates world will introduce new combat styles, underwater battles, and new keyblade transformations. In addition to the new world, we also get another sizzle reel featuring glimpses of gameplay across the various worlds, including
Tangled,
Monsters Inc., and
Toy Story.
We last visited the
Pirates of the Caribbean world when we traveled to Port Royal in
Kingdom Hearts II (and
Final Mix). Based on the live-action movie
The Curse of the Black Pearl, the bosses we encountered there were Captain Barbossa and the Illuminator, and the Grim Reaper. As you can see in the above trailer, Jack Sparrow, Will Turner, Elizabeth Swann, and the rest of the pirate crew will be making a returning guest appearance in
KH3.
Kingdom Hearts 3 will finally release on January 29, 2019.
