PREVIEW: Kingdom Hearts III - D23 Expo Japan 2013 Trailer

Actual gameplay emerges from highly anticipated title Kingdom Hearts III, showing promising gameplay.

It's been almost eight years since the release of Kingdom Hearts II all the way back in 2005 - and since the announcement at this year's E3 confirming the third sequel; Kingdom Hearts III is officially in development, exclusively for PlayStation 4.

This year's D23 Expo in Japan has revealed long-awaited gameplay footage, showcasing Sora, Donald, and Goofy taking on their latest adventure.

The first part of the video shows Sora battling through a horde of Heartless with his trusty Keyblade - nothing we haven't seen in previous games, until something is activated called "Two Shoot Blaster", enabling the player to shoot what looks like balls of fire or some sort of energy, either way this proves effective as it rids the nearby Heartless with ease.

All of a sudden, we see Sora on a pirates ship right on the edge as it sways back and forth, and eventually spinning round and round, all whilst Heartless are trying to get on board - chaotic gameplay like this makes you wonder what else is in store.

The final segment takes place on Big Magic Mountain - which to my knowledge isn't a location that exists in the Disney spectrum, however we see the gang riding a theme-park styled train, using it to battle what looks like one of the first bosses in the game; a massive Heartless enemy which looks intimidating, but also very slow and vulnerable at the same time.

A release date is still unknown, but judging from that gameplay, it can't be too far off now. Watch the trailer below.
