New footage of the game was shown including a Sora vs Aqua boss fight.
Below are some other notable details from the event:
- Kingdom Hearts III will be the final entry in the Xehanort Saga, however Nomura confirmed that there will be more Kingdom Hearts in the future and that we wants to continue Sora’s story.
- The Gummi Ship portion of the game was made by a team of 20-30 people. There will be two modes, Exploration and Cardboard mode. The new Exploration Mode will allow players free-roam between the words. Gummi Ship parts like previous games will appear as gems, sweets, cardboard, etc.
- The game will have over 20 mini-games, including some which we’ve seen before.
- The game will have a Secret Movie, however to avoid spoilers the team is looking into different ways to deliver that. The team is looking into making the movie downloadable instead of have really hard requirements like previous games.
