With the highly-anticipated release of Kingdom Hearts III just over a month away, fans are gearing up for the adventure of a lifetime with Sora and friends. However, some people have gotten their hands on the title a little early, which has been cause for concern for those who have to wait.

After the game leaked and retail copies were found out in the wild, the internet went into a frenzy. Some have wondered how to get a piece of the action, while others have had to be cautious while searching the internet as to not have anything spoiled. Director Tetsuya Nomura recently released a statement, asking that fans don’t spoil any details before everyone else has a chance to obtain the game.

For those unable to see the above tweet, it reads as follows:

“We’re aware that a small portion of Kingdom Hearts III has been circulating online before its official release. We are also aware as to how this has all happened. We’re sorry to see this caused concern amongst our fans who are excited for the release.

The whole team has been working together since yesterday night (Japan time) to investigate what we can do to better this situation, but first we would like to ask that you do not share these videos.

The gamer’s epilogue and secret movie, which are the biggest spoilers in this game, are planned to be released at a later date just in case, so they will not be shown before the game’s release.

We want everyone to be able to equally experience the full game after its release, so we ask for your continued support on this matter.

We’re also very grateful that our fans have been warning each other already about the spoilers. Thank you very much.

We’re one month out from the release. Let’s enjoy the game together when it releases on January 29, 2019.”

The leak in question contained quite a bit of spoilery stuff, including gameplay videos. It’s unfortunate when something like this happens, but it’s great to see the Kingdom Hearts community keeping each other spoiler-free. Like Nomura said, people have been warning one another when information is afoot that could ruin the game for others.

Only a little over a month remains before Kingdom Hearts III is released on PlayStation 4 on January 29, 2019. Keep it tuned to Don’t Feed the Gamers as this story develops, and for other gaming goodness going on right now, check out the following:
