Hercules Will Return In Kingdom Hearts III
Finally some good news from Kingdom Hearts III. Square Enix announced this morning that the characters and wolrd of Disney's Hercules will return for the long-awaited installment in the Kingdom Hearts series.
Late last night at the Kingdom Hearts Orchestra World Tour concert in Los Angeles, Square Enix and Disney Interactive dazzled fans with a new Kingdom Hearts III gameplay trailer featuring never before seen footage based on Disney's animated hit, "Hercules," which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year.
In this first gameplay trailer, Sora, Donald Duck, and Goofy help Hercules battle various forms of Heartless on Mount Olympus through gorgeous visuals and gameplay. Fans will see Sora in a new form, which allows him to perform special powerful solo and joint attacks on his enemies. A new glimpse into the game's storyline reveals a reunion with Disney villains Hades, Maleficent and Pete as they discuss the location of a mysterious item while Sora is faced with a dilemma in an effort to bring back an old friend.
Getting a chance to havg out in Mount Olympus is a nice way to bring back old faces while still giving players a fresh perspective on the game. Personally, I was more excited to see Hades was back, but that's just my personal opinion.
We can expect more news at the D23 expo later this summer. The trailer that debuted at the Kingdom Hearts Orchestra performance is below.
