As the days go by. gamers everywhere anticipate any word out of Square Enix about the upcoming Kingdom Hearts 3. After all, it just might be the most highly anticipated game of this decade. That is, of course, if the title even exists. Sure, we’ve seen footage and whatnot, but we’re pretty sure some people aren’t going to believe it until they are actually playing it. That said, members of the press will be getting some hands-on time with the title later this week, after which the world will learn more about it with their first impressions.

The embargo for the game will be ending on May 18th at 6am PT, presumably after the Kingdom Hearts III Invitation Premiere Event takes place. During the gathering that Sqaure Enix is hosting, press members will be able to actually play Kingdom Hearts 3. This should give us concrete evidence that the game does actually exist. Not only will we have that proof, but we’ll get a better idea of how the title plays.

It’s still unknown as to when Kingdom Hearts 3 will actually be released, but Square Enix has gone on the record to say that everything remains on schedule. That means it will be arriving before this year ends, leading many to believe that we could get an official launch date at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo. This title has seemingly been in development for quite some time, so it’s getting to that where Square Enix better start delivering, or players will begin to revolt. A bit dramatic, but you get the idea.

Kingdom Hearts 3 is set to arrive in 2018 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Until then, we’ll have to rely on what the press thinks of the title after the embargo is lifted on May 18th.
