Square Enix's
Kingdom Hearts video game series has, for years, blended various Disney properties together into its narrative; but, since the release of
Kingdom Hearts 2 in 2005, Disney has since acquired Pixar. Not to mention, Walt Disney Animation Studios has released a few computer-animated hits of their own. As a result, many of the wonderful properties from both studios will be featured in
Kingdom Hearts 3.
At E3 this weekend, we got a glimpse at several Pixar and Walt Disney Animation films that will be in the game. The biggest reveal was a
Frozen world featuring Elsa, Anna, Olaf and the rest of the gang. The trailer revealed gameplay in the snowy, frigid lands of Arendelle, which allows for some unique gameplay mechanics. Check out the trailer below:
In addition to
Frozen, a second trailer released over the weekend revealed that
Pirates of the Caribbean will be returning to the franchise. While not necessarily an animated film, it's exciting nonetheless. Like the
Frozen world, the
Pirates world will also offer unique gameplay mechanics specifically tailored to the high seas as well.
Kingdom Hearts 3 is set to release on PS4 and Xbox One on January 29, 2019.
