If you were fortunate to pre-order Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, you’ll get a small teaser of what’s to come in Kingdom Hearts III . However, don’t expect Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue to reveal major Kingdom Hearts III details, like a new world or any plot points.

The latest update about Kingdom Hearts III came from a recent Famitsu interview with the game’s director Tetsuya Nomura. He assured Kingdom Hearts fans there were no delays in the production process. The team is working on one world at a time and don’t want to rush through development. Remember, Square Enix announced the game was in development back during E3 2013. Square Enix has actively been working on the game for less than four years.

“[ Kingdom Hearts III ] requires a different work process than other titles so far, so I can't strictly say,” Nomura told Famitsu . “On one hand there are worlds that are pretty much finished, on the other hand there are worlds we still haven't even touched. Worlds we haven't announced yet tend to be further along in development, so we're at a stage where what we could show is what we can't show. Maybe hearing there's parts we 'still haven't touched' is going to make people worry, but it's business as usual.”

So far, Square Enix has confirmed there will be Tangled and Big Hero 6 inspired worlds. No word if we’ll see any Marvel heroes team up with sorry or if Disney will allow Square Enix to use popular franchise characters like Elsa from Frozen . Unfortunately, fans will be waiting a while to Kingdom Hearts III . Be sure to check back with iDigitalTimes for our official Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue review and guides.
