Nomura-san commented on the current challenges he faces developing KH III:
“For any sequel of the mainstream storyline of the Kingdom Hearts series, that would be Kingdom Hearts III”
He added:
“But the problem is that the opportunity of developing the sequel is not currently [possible]. The team is busy, I am busy.”
Even with his busy schedule, KH III is still something he wants to do and is preparing for. Nomura-san had this to say about his thoughts on the next chapter in the storyline:
Im thinking about whats going to be next after Kingdom Hearts II, the future that is Kingdom Hearts III. Time has nearly come to [work on] that concept.
With the games concept phase being in sight, it leads to the question: When can we expect it? When asked if we would see it on the current generation of consoles, he gave this revelation:
Yes it might be possible. It is my desire to develop the next Kingdom Hearts on the existing platform, but the problem with a new console is that it has new technical requirements… So, yes, Im willing to create something on the existing console because when we aim for another non-existing future console, the release of the title will be far in the future. Thats my concern.
