Experience ‘Kingdom Hearts’ In VR As You Wait To Play With Baymax In ‘Kingdom Hearts 3’
Kingdom Heartsfans know how to wait. They’ve probably played the waiting game for longer than they’ve played any of theKingdom Heartsgames, so these next few months until the release ofKingdom Hearts 3should be a piece of cake after we’ve already waited 13 years. It’s fine. It’s totally fine.
But wait! Before you go crazy waiting forKingdom Hearts 3to hit shelves onJanuary 25, 2019, the wait for any and allKingdom Heartscontent will be a tiny bit shorter thanks to aKingdom HeartsVR experience debuting on the PlayStation VR this holiday season. It’ll be a perfect way to bide the time while we wait to play with Baymax and the heroes ofBig Hero 6, who were just teased in the latestKingdom Hearts 3gameplay trailer.
Kingdom Hearts VR
The long winter months will go by in a flash thanks to theKingdom Hearts: VR Experience. No longer will we have to wait for the release ofKingdom Hearts 3by endlessly watching Let’s Plays of the previous games or rewatching the hundreds of new trailers — no, now we can experience it for ourselves.
Polygonreports that theKingdom Hearts: VR Experience, coming to PlayStation VR this year, will be a free 10-minute interactive video that compiles the iconic moments of the Kingdom Hearts games. So, think of it as one of the dream-like openings to each game, but without Utada Hikaru crooning in your ear the entire time. There’s no official list of what moments from the 16-year series will be featured, but thePlayStation Blogpromises that it will include “favorite memories from the storied franchise with this special, immersive experience.” The immersive video will also feature music from the games, and allow you to unlock more content as you keep playing.
There’s no exact date yet, butKingdom Hearts: VR Experiencewill be available as a free download from the PlayStation Store sometime this holiday season.
Kingdom Hearts 3 Debuts Big Hero 6 World
Speaking ofKingdom Hearts 3trailers to endlessly rewatch in anticipation of the game, Square Enix has just released a new Japanese-language gameplay trailer featuring the characters ofBig Hero 6. This is our first peek at Baymax in action, as well as the battles we get to fight alongside Hiro, GoGo, Honey Lemon, and more. The detail and graphics are exquisite, and while the story shown in this trailer makes very little sense, I couldn’t be more excited.
Kingdom Hearts 3is confirmed to feature new Disney and Pixar worlds including the Kingdom of Corona fromTangled, San Fransokyo from theBig Hero 6, Andy’s Toy Box fromToy Story, and the world ofMonsters, Inc.Kingdom Hearts 3will be available on PS4 and XBox One onJanuary 25, 2019.
