Avid fans of the "Kingdom Hearts" gaming franchise were given a treat when Square Enix unveiled a teaser clip for the upcoming game "Kingdom Hearts 3" during a music event. The said promo unveiled several interesting information including the timelines for a new preview video reveal at the D23 Expo 2017.
Lucky attendees of the "Kingdom Hearts" Orchestra World Tour concert held in Los Angeles were the first to witness the latest teaser clip for the upcoming game "Kingdom Hearts 3." The more than two-minute preview, as obtained by Polygon, featured a glimpse at beloved characters such as Sora, Donald, and Goofy as they battle some of the game's villains namely the Heartless.
The said "Kingdom Hearts 3" clip also displayed Sora various fighting moves, magical attacks, and Keyblade actions. Set in a Herculean world, it also revealed the said protagonist's new form, as well as a cool new tandem move with Goofy that launched Sora up in the air for a massive attack. One of the new interesting attacks even had the two characters floating high up before Sora flung Goofy to the ground in a deadly blast move.
However, one of the intriguing information teased in the said preview video hinted at Roxas' potential return to "Kingdom Hearts 3." The said character served as Sora's Nobody and even became an antagonist in one of the said gaming franchise's previous installments.
