Ever since the official reveal ofKingdom Hearts 3, Square Enix has unveiled a slew of exciting new worlds for the forthcoming action role-playing game, with one of the most recent realms unveiled being the highly coveted world ofPixar’sMonster’s Inc. While lots of fans have been pleased with most of the worlds revealed thus far, many are still hoping for other surprises to come, with a plethora of fans hoping for a world being inspired by Disney’sThe Jungle Book, which could be in the cards if a recent rumor is accurate.
According to a post shared over the weekend on 4Chan’s Video Game forum /v/,Kingdom Hearts 3’s next world will be revealed by way of a fresh trailer this April, and it will feature none other thanThe Jungle Book. If the rumor is to be believed, then Mowgli is going to be a playable party member alongside Baloo, and the trailer will also highlight the characters of Bagheera and Shere Khan alongside footage of a boss battle with Kaa the Snake.
What’s more is that the rumor suggests that the potentially forthcomingKingdom Hearts 3trailer forThe Jungle Bookworld will show off a new “summon” that involves likesThe Lion King’s Simba. Apparently, Simba is going to emerge from a rock, and then let out a loud roar before pouncing on Heartless enemies and attacking them. Should this actually be the case, it makes one wonder if Square Enix might also have a world forThe Lion Kingin the works.
Additionally, this bit of scuttlebutt implies that the Keyblade forKingdom Hearts 3’s rumoredJungle Bookworld is going to be shaped like the tree that Baloo scratches his back on in the Disney film, with the Keychain being a wolf. Supposedly, one transformation for the Keyblade will see the item morph into a tree thatthe protagonist Sorawill then use to swing on and kick enemies as an attack.
Taking everything into consideration, with all of this information coming from an unverified source, it’s important to remain skeptical aboutThe Jungle Bookbeing the next world to be revealed forKingdom Hearts 3. Nevertheless, should this rumor be true, then it presents some exciting prospects for the scope of the potential realm, as director Tetsuya Nomura previously shared some details about the forthcoming title to suggest thateach world’s sizecould be likened to the “equivalent to one [previous] game,” with the activities available in each realm being “vastly different.”
Kingdom Hearts 3is currently set to release in 2018 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
