'Kingdom Hearts III' News: Rumors Regarding a Release Date at E3 Proven False
It was a pretty big weekend for "Kingdom Hearts" fans as Square Enix dropped a new trailer for "Kingdom Hearts III" showcasing the new Monsters Inc. World as well as some new gameplay and story moments. The weekend was so big, in fact, that a rumor about a release date being announced at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) started to spread — a rumor that, unfortunately, turned out to be false.
This whole issue started when a simple tweet in Japanese seemed to indicate that a release date was set to come out at E3. This was immediately picked up by several users and outlets and used as a source of fact that Square Enix will finally announce a release date this year. But, thanks to some sleuthing by DualShockers, it looks like this tweet is not as reliable as most thought. In fact, the person writing the tweet was not even attending the event where all these announcements were made and was instead speculating that E3 would be the day since Square Enix made no announcement at the D23 Expo.
To further confirm the truth, DualShockers went straight to the lion's den and asked Square Enix for clarification regarding a release date and they confirmed that they made no announcements regarding the release window during the show. While this does not mean it is impossible for E3 to have a release date announcement, it is also just as possible that they stay quiet during the event.
