Kingdom Hearts director Tetsuya Nomura is promising a worthwhile conclusion for Kingdom Hearts III, but is quick to guarantee fans that the series will continue.

Speaking with the L.A. Times, Nomura discussed the finality that Kingdom Hearts III will bring to fans. He makes clear, however, that simply because the core trilogy will see resolution, does not imply here is the top of Kindgom Hearts.

“As a core game, that’s finally the third, and 10 years have passed. I couldn’t call this a trilogy. There were such a lot of spinoffs. In ‘Kingdom Hearts 3,’ the battles that the characters has been fighting for the past 10 years will come to a conclusion. That’s the plan. However the series will continue. Only the specific enemy they’ve been fighting the past 10 years will come to an end.”

Nomura also told fans that they if have an interest in how Kingdom Hearts III will play from a mechanical standpoint, to play Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance on 3DS.

Kingdom Hearts III doesn’t have a high-quality release date yet, but we do understand it would be coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Our Take
I really enjoyed Kingdom Hearts and its sequel, but have increasingly become disinterested in its spin-offs. Because the story branches and extends, the already confusing narrative becomes more complicated, and it makes it harder to catch up while you begin to fall behind. Kingdom Hearts is absolutely the equivalent of learning math. With the promise of conclusion though, it reinvigorates my interest inside the story. If there’s a visible finish line within the distance, it makes the possibility of catching up less initimdating.
