For those who are waiting for the latest official details about the upcoming new installment of Kingdom Hearts, the following months may have something in store for the gamers. It is expected that more information will be revealed by Square Enix about "Kingdom Hearts 3" in the Kingdom Hearts concert tour that will begin next month. The public has not been receiving enough info coming from Square Enix itself regarding the next Kingdom Hearts sequel, so the series of concerts may be the best venue to hear the official news.

The first of the series of "Kingdom Hearts" concert will happen in Japanese venues such as Tokyo, Aichi and Osaka. After the opening of the world concert tour called the "Kingdom Hearts: First Breath," the event will also arrive in different places outside Japan, although it will be from March to June 2017. The "Kingdom Hearts" world tour is expected to be in France, England, Singapore, China and the United States.

"Kingdom Hearts" game director Tetsuya Nomura has already announced that the Kingdom Hearts concert tour will mark the 15th Anniversary of Kingdom Hearts game franchise. In fact, the concert itself will feature exclusive information for "Kingdom Hearts 3," and those fans that will attend the event can expect firsthand experience of the much-anticipated game title, Polygon reported.

Square Enix surely knows how to excite the gamers, as it is highly speculated that "Kingdom Hearts 3" will feature new worlds from the Star Wars saga and Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Meanwhile, contrary to earlier rumors, game co-director Tai Yasue revealed that "Kingdom Hearts 3" will not include any world from the popular "Final Fantasy" video game franchise. Even though Kingdom Hearts has some characters from the "Final Fantasy" series, Square Enix maintains to keep off these original worlds.

"We're not adding any Final Fantasy worlds. A lot of the original (to Kingdom Hearts) worlds (Hollow Bastion, Traverse Town, etc.) had Final Fantasy characters in them. At this moment, we are not really coming up with any plans for that, we're making original worlds and Disney worlds," Yasue said via Game Spot.
