News ► New Kingdom Hearts 3 Screenshot from Magic Monaco 2017

[Chaser]

Tetsuya Nomura was a guest at the Magic Monaco Anime Game Conference where a new Kingdom Hearts 3 screenshot was shared, and the image was uploaded to twitter thanks to The Share Players!

The image shows off what looks to be a boss battle or large scale battle in Olympus Coliseum. Sora is in what looks to be Guard Form which was first revealed in October 2016.

UPDATE: Thanks to Dandelion, we have a translated portion of the Kingdom Hearts 3 part of Tetsuya Nomura's talk at Magic Monaco:

This is the first time we're showing this screenshot of Kingdom Hearts III, it's happening in Thebes and they are fighting a new type of Heartless. The Keyblade can transform into a lot of things. When in Power Form it can be changed into a chariot.

That looks epic as heck. Is the boss wielding a huge mace or something? Hmm, there also seem to a little HP bar at the upper corner.

I like the design of the Heartless! Also, seems like we will once again fight alone against a boss, which I also like (though I'm curious about how Donald and Goofy got separated from us).

Anyone think the trailer will be released to the public some time?

Sora's in guard form, he's orange, his pants are plaid and he's got a shield.

But also: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

It wasn't a trailer, he just showed this image.

I hope we won't be solo yolo-ing too much in KH3. DDD made me actually miss Donald and Goofy and having a party in general ... that aren't .. pets basically.

Anyways, I'm still amazed how nice KH3 looks without the graphics making it feel weird or disconnected since the difference between like DDD and KH3 is really big when it comes to the way the game looks. It still looks familiar enough to me so that's nice!

It should be Guard Form because his outfit is orange with the checkered pants. Power Form is the red outfit with camo-patterned pants.

I love iiiittt.
Seems like Sora equipped the Olympus Keyblade we saw in earlier trailers, considering that one transformed into a shield(?) before summoning Pegasus. Or it's just the Guard Form doing its work.

Anyways, the small HP bar is probably just one of the smaller targets the boss will have (I think anyway), we've had that in KH games many times. Maybe the mask will fall off (if it is a mask) and we will get to attack its head.

Oh, well, everything looks really crisp and I like the textures!

Re: New Kingdom Hearts 3 Screenshot from Magic 2017

They are still only showing Olympus - which is the first world as far as we know. Does that means development is still nowhere far enough to show more or are they just holding back for the next footage?

Yeeeeees. I absolutely love the picture, the heartless looks badass and Sora's form looks cool.

*high-pitched screaming*
This screenshot looks so good! A big, rock warrior dude attacking with a lollipop! What more could I ask for?!


I noticed the lollimace also has the Heartless Emblem on it. So could this boss be a duo?

Re: New Kingdom Hearts 3 Screenshot from Magic 2017

Am I the only one bugged by the fact that the word Commands has been, again, misspelled as Command (singular instead of plural)?

On an inspection, I found that the same happened in the Japanese version of KH2 and in KH2FM. It was fixed in the English version of KH2 and in 2.5. I'm surprised I've never noticed this before (has anyone, actually?)!

This (mini)boss is giving me unchained x Raid boss vibes.
