'Kingdom Hearts 3': 'Wreck-It-Ralph,' 'Thor' World Confirmed For Release? New Screenshot Shows Mystery Keyblade
J RoseThe official "Kingdom Hearts" Twitter is full of new stuff today as Square Enix revealed two new screenshots for its highly anticipated title "Kingdom Hearts 3."
On the two screenshots, "Kingdom Hearts" hero Sora is shown battling against the Heartless. The setting is revealed as the iconic Mt. Olympus from Disney classic "Hercules,," which has been consistently featured and is an important setting in all "Kingdom Hearts" games.
On the first screenshot released, Sora is wielding what looks like a keyblade transformed into a shield, which the "Kingdom Hearts" Twitter confirmed as the all-new Drive Form called the Guard Form.

"The Guard Form shield mentioned earlier was transformed from the Keyblade of Herc's Shield which has been shown previously," the "Kingdom Hearts" Twitter account confirmed. While this new forms is impressive in itself, what is more interesting is the second screenshot, where Sora is wielding a mysterious new weapon form.

"This power form was edited as it is the Keyblade from a world that hasn't been released yet, so it has changed into a hammer shape," the description read.
They could have been referring to the shape of the new weapon, a hammer. Now fans are trying to figure out which new Disney world is going to be featured in the game.
Some say that the mention of the hammer reminds them of Fix-It-Felix Jr.'s Magic Hammer from Disney movie "Wreck-It-Ralph," speculating that the video game themed animated movie may be "Kingdom Hearts 3"'s new, unannounced world.
Some have also connected the hammer to Marvel's "Thor," since Disney acquired Marvel in 2009, and bought the rights to "The Avengers" movies in 2013, according to Bloomberg.
Meanwhile, Square Enix will be bringing "Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 Remix" to the Playstation 4 on Mar. 28, 2017, Polygon reported. Between that and "Kingdom Hearts 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue HD," which arrives Jan. 24, "Kingdom Hearts" fans are sure to be kept busy until a release date for "Kingdom Hearts 3" is finally announced.
