With all of the excitement surrounding Kingdom Hearts 3 stellar trailer at D23 this year, some have questioned if the third entry would follow its predecessors in giving players a chance to play as a second character. Well, many will be happy to hear what Tetsuya Nomura, the game's director, had to say regarding that very topic in an interview he did with IGN. He doesn't reveal who the character is, but he does help ease fan's minds by revealing that yes, we will get a chance to play a second player.
"So it would be tough to introduce many, multiple playable characters, but there is an intention of adding a playable character aside from Sora. Unfortunately, we’re not able to disclose who it is yet, but there will be another playable character."
Nomura also had some information to reveal regarding the party system that has been active in the series, where players pick which other characters will join Sora on the battles he'll get involved in. This time around, the system will be more fine-tuned and a lot better than previous games.
"D-Link, that has been done away with. It was actually a compromise in a previous iteration because we were not able to display multiple characters on that platform in that game," Nomura said. "We’re able to depict multiple characters. Up to five people can join, even more, multiple characters can join your party."
