Series of speculations that 'Kingdom Hearts 3' might not be released until 2017 were arising, though fans didn't hope it would be possible. While receiving different rumors and guesses from the people, Square Enix seemed to face different troubles in game development.

Amid a lot of varied hoax articles appeared online that Kingdom Hearts 3 might be released this year, Square Enix, the game developer hasn't confirmed the game progress as well its official launching date. Perhaps, they may be facing a lot of troubles in terms of developing the game itself.

Reportedly, from this year, two voice acting giants passed away. Leonard Nimoy from the West and Chikao Otsuka from the East for Master Xenahort. Their passing lead might be the main reason why they have to end the saga with Xenahort.

With this being said, they still remained silent about hiring someone to replace the actor's Xenahort's voice for the saga. Based from the sources, it stated, "Square never released information suggesting that they'd need to find a new voice actor for the primary protagonist."

Another reason appeared that Square Enix might taking much time with the Final Fantasy XV since they were currently pressured to have it this year. Thus, making it a central thought why they remained silent until now. 

With the game development, it was also reported that it is still in the preliminary stages wherein it doens't event reach 30fps with the graphics. In addition, there are a lot of testings to make to reach deadline. Though there are already two teams working for two games to release, still, many are doubtful if they could possibly make it.

In terms of the game development process, though Square Enix has confirmed that they will be using Unreal Engine 4 for the graphic appearance, yet, their listing for jobs related for the technical side of their games are still available at the moment. Therefore, they might be silent until now due to these problems.

With these thoughts from fans, it might be suggesting that Kingdom Hearts 3 will remain unreleased this year. Rumors cited that it might come out by next year, but doubted to have by 2017 since they have been waiting for two years for the next game sequel. Hopefully, it will be released sooner.
