If the image above didn’t make it obvious, Brave Exvius uses pixel-based graphics and features a number of characters from Square Enix games. The timing of the announcement isn’t an accident; the annual convention for Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, FFBE Fan Festa, is currently being held at the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, California.
Here’s how Square Enix describes Kingdom Hearts III:
“Kingdom Hearts III tells the story of the power of friendship as Sora and his friends embark on a perilous adventure. Set in a vast array of Disney worlds, Kingdom Hearts follows the journey of Sora, a young boy and unknowing heir to a spectacular power. Sora is joined by Donald Duck and Goofy, two emissaries sent by King Mickey from Disney Castle, to stop an evil force known as the Heartless from invading and overtaking the universe. Through the power of positivity and friendship, Sora, Donald and Goofy unite with iconic Disney-Pixar characters old and new to prevail tremendous challenges and persevere against the darkness threatening their worlds.”
