Fans of
Kingdom Hearts were overjoyed when it was announced at D23 that a
Toy Story world would be making it's debut in the latest instalment in the Disney/Square Enix mash up franchise. It looks like Square Enix want to take full advantage of Pixar's extensive catalogue as a new leak seems to confirm that Monsters Inc. will also be getting it's own world.
The screenshots seem pretty convincing and show Sora, Donald and Goofy teaming up with Mike and Sulley to battle an Unversed, the main enemy type in
Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep. We also get to see the three heroes in custom attire which is used to help them blend into the world, something which we've already seen in the reveal trailer for the T
oy Story world. The screenshots appear to be from an earlier build of the game as the character portraits do not match the attire for the characters.
While these screenshots could be very convincing fakes, I'm inclined to believe that this is the real deal. It only makes sense for Square to finally dive in to Pixar's extensive catalogue to create new worlds as the classics are begining to get a bit stale. Consider also that these franchises are huge and instantly recognisable which will surely help sales and following the inclusion of
Toy Story it only makes sense that they would also try to incorporate
Monsters Inc. It is almost perfectly suited for the
Kingdom Hearts franchise and it has the potential to be great if it's handled properly and it will be sure to make a lot of fans very happy indeed.
