'Kingdom Hearts 3' could release in 2017 and also include Cloud Strife
Since the game "Kingdom Hearts 3" was unveiled during E3 in 2013, very little information about the characters that would be featured were provided. However, since then, most of the attention has been focused on the release date of the game, which has not been revealed yet, as well as the confirmation on the new characters.
Since "Kingdom Hearts 3" has been in development since 2006, it is safe to say that the game has to live up to a lot of expectations when it releases. The latest news surrounding the game indicates that its developer is planning to bring the character Cloud Strife to the game. This news arrived courtesy of a question that was posed to Steve Burton, the actor who voices the character. On this Twitter feed, Burton was specifically asked if he was going to be voicing a character in "Kingdom Hearts 3." Burton then went on to state that he is going to be doing something concerned with the game in a few weeks.
This admission by Burton about the game, left many fans who were on lookout for news about "Kingdom Hearts 3" specualting that he would be voicing the character of Cloud Strife. With Cloud Strife appearing both in the first and second part of the game, it does not need a lot of imagination to come up with the premise that he would also feature in the upcoming third installment. Additionally, Burton voices two characters, and since they are die-hard enemies, if one is present in the game then the other automatically will be included.
As for the other characters who are going to appear in "Kingdom Hearts 3," they include Winnie the Pooh and Tigger, and this information was let slip by another voice actor associated with the game. Meanwhile, in 2014, it was outlined that "Kingdom Hearts 3" would be created using the Unreal Engine 4 and this switch caused the game to be delayed. Last year, a trailer for the game was also released during E3 2015 and it showed that it would come with breathtaking visuals and new worlds, and currently it is thought that "Kingdom Hearts 3" is on track to release in 2017.
