Just as Kingdom Hearts fans doubt about launching of the game, Square Enix delivered a promising trailer for them. The newest "Kingdom Hearts 3" trailer has presented gameplay details including Sora's attraction flow attack and it is fantastic. Now, we'll you give the latest trailer and rumors about the release date.

The details about the official launching of "Kingdom Hearts 3" are still kept under wraps. However, it seems that Square Enix is excited to show fans what they have been working on for the past years by releasing the trailer.

According to an unconfirmed date from Kotaku, Kingdom Hearts 2.8 PS4 is coming in 2016 while Kingdom Hearts 3 for PS4 and Xbox One remains a mystery.

The 6-minute preview revealed that Kingdom Hearts games are coming in 2016, with Kingdom Hearts 3 gameplay beginning at 3:38. With this information, gamers can guess what Square Enix has in store for them.

One of the interesting things in the video is the footage of Sora's new flow attack, which can wipe out multiple enemies in a single stroke. Mickey Mouse was also spotted in the footage. Overall, everything looks familiar.

Furthermore, the trailer presented new information in the form of the "shotlock" feature from Birth by Sleep. It allows gamers to shoot opponents by aiming with a target reticule on-screen and then pressing a button, so the player can hop from enemy to enemy. In addition, fans are eager to know how Kingdom Hearts 3 is shaping up, but no further information was revealed.

In the final seconds of the trailer, it revealed the game's progress status. "Now in Development," the message reads. Some fans were upset because the game development really took so long. It is fair to say that Kingdom Hearts followers are disheartened at this point. According to GameRant, it seems that 2017 is still a realistic approximation for the game's final release.

Meanwhile, some reports say "Toy Story" will be among the new worlds in "Kingdom Hearts 3. A short video clip of Goofy, Donald and Sora jumping aboard at Disney theme park ride was presented at the D23 Expo. After viewing that scene, some fans speculate that "Toy Story World" could be included in "Kingdom Hearts 3."

However, Hard Gamer said that fans should be not be excited about the theme park ride footage. In the past trailers, it also featured another character of the world, but it did not show up in the game.
