"But the basic structure of what's going to go in the game is set, it's now a matter of mass production of the different elements," states Nomura.
The game's slow progress is building speculations that it will have a 2017 release date. However, MNR Daily noted that Square Enix's other game, "Final Fantasy XV," influences the fate of "Kingdom Hearts 3." The former will be announced this coming March 2016 which means the latter might have a later release date because both games are being worked on by the same team.
This also means that both games will be released on the same year with "Final Fantasy" coming around summer and "Kingdom Hearts 3" arriving three months after. But despite the slow process, fans are still expectant and are looking forward to seeing an excellent quality of the game.
