Square Enix teased us a new Kingdom Hearts trailer yesterday, promising another look into Kingdom Hearts III and Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue. Though we didn’t get that ever-illusive Kingdom Hearts III release date, the trailer did offer a glimpse at some spectacular new combat mechanics.
The KH3 segment of the trailer, which starts at exactly 3:33 in the trailer below, starts off in the Tangled world we saw back in the E3 trailer. This time combat is in the spotlight, with a unique lock and flow mechanic whose menu prompts translate to “Shoot Flow/Athletic Flow.”
Sora selects multiple enemies with a special lock-on vision, then either rushes through them with a flurry of attacks or fires projectiles at them. In the trailer, he finishes a beautiful and inspiring athletic flow move by falling into a river and awkwardly floating away.
We then move to Twilight Town and the Mysterious Tower for even more key-swinging action. The video wraps with footage of the Buzz Lightyear Astro Blaster power that was leaked last week.
Let us know what you think of the new Kingdom Hearts trailer, and for more news, check out some of today’s top stories below.
