Square Enix is known for creating some of the best role-playing games, including the Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts franchises. Kingdom Hearts 3 was first announced in June 2013 during the that year's E3 event in Los Angeles, California.
When was Kingdom Hearts 3 released?
Although the game was announced way back in 2013, Kingdom Hearts 3 was released globally on January 29, 2019. This delay of almost six years was due to some development and priority changes in the Square Enix studio.
During its initial years of production, the game switched engines several times. It went from Luminous Studio engine to Unreal Engine 3, after finally moving over to Unreal Engine 4 when the developer's focus shifted away from Final Fantasy XV.
