New Kingdom Hearts 3 plot details have leaked online. The second Keyblade war is the reported backdrop of Kingdom Hearts 3 , according to Gematsu.
Check out the alleged plot description shared by Twitter user @ArikaMiz:
With the world under the control of a single Master, the final struggle for true peace begins.
Through countless adventures across many worlds in his long battle against the darkness, Sora, once a little boy who only dreamed worlds beyond his island even existed, has grown up to a dashing young man. Now he is realizing that that battle has played out exactly as Master Xehanort had planned, and the second Keyblade War, the final struggle between light and dark, looms ahead. To counter the overwhelming darkness, Sora and his friends must gather the seven guardians of light. His best friend Riku and King Mickey seek out a battle-scarred Keyblade wielder, while Sora, Donald, and Goofy set off on a journey to find “the Key to Return Hearts.” Never-before-featured Disney worlds set the stage for another daring adventure to save the universe!
Chosen by the Keyblade, he is the one whose heart’s light never fails to shine as a beacon of hope.
Sora, the brave hero chosen by the Keyblade, has always had a strong sense of justice. Through his many battles against darkness, he has grown and learned about the world immensely. Drawn to his light, many friends have lent him their support and granted him their powers to counter the darkness: Riku, the childhood friend he grew up with on Destiny Islands; Donald and Goofy, the two comrades with whom he has shared his adventures from the very beginning; and King Mickey, who unfailingly supports Sora with his own mighty strength. As the world becomes enveloped in another battle against darkness, the Keyblade wielder and his friends must rise up against Master Xehanort and thwart his plot to incite another Keyblade War.

What sticks out the most in the description is the “final struggle.” Square Enix has released 14 Kingdom Hearts titles since 2002 with Kingdom Hearts 3 being number 15. If there were ever a time to wrap up Sora’s story, it would be now. Kingdom Hearts 3 has been in development from 2013, but Square Enix has yet to announce an official release date.
However, if you haven’t picked up a Kingdom Heart s game since Kingdom Hearts 2 and are concerned you won’t understand the storyline, don’t be. Kingdom Hearts 3 director Tai Yasue spoke to GamesBeat about Square Enix’s upcoming title back in July to address story continuity issues. Yasue assured fans they don’t need to have played all the Kingdom Hear ts games to understand Kingdom Hearts 3 ’s story.
“ Kingdom Hearts 3 is very much — it’s a game that will be better if you understand all the other stories,” Yasue said. “But at the same time, you can enjoy it without following the whole arc. As you know, all the Kingdom Hearts stories have a conclusion at the end of each Disney world. You can still enjoy that as well. For the whole arc, it might help to understand, but there’s still a lot of fun in each Disney world.”
Speaking of new worlds, Square Enix has only confirmed two worlds for Kingdom Hearts 3: a Tangled- inspired world and a Big Hero 6 world featuring Baymax. No word if Disney franchises like Star Wars and Toy Story will make it into Kingdom Hearts 3.
Kingdom Hearts 3 is currently in development for PS4 and Xbox One.
