They certainly haven't excluded the possibility and the game's likely sales success bodes well for a PC version. First, will Square Enix release PC versions of Kingdom Hearts 3 (and possibly previous entries in the series)? The answer seems to be a qualified yes. So when it comes to PC versions of Square Enix RPGs like Kingdom Hearts 3, a release date window depends on answers to a few questions. The PC version of Final Fantasy XV came out in March, 2018, so a little over a year after the original console release. Within months of the November 2016 PS4 and Xbox One release, Square Enix was offering a similar "we're considering it" response to questions about a PC version. The latest entry, Final Fantasy XV, followed much the same pattern as a presumptive Kingdom Hearts 3 PC version. Others, including Final Fantasy IX, Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy XII were remastered and re-released more than a decade after their initial console premieres. Some entries were ported to PC quickly- Final Fantasy VIII had less than five months between console and PC releases. Square Enix tends to take two pathways to releasing PC versions of subsequent entries in the series. Franchises like the Dragon Quest series began porting to PC after console release, with Square Enix also releasing best-selling PC and mobile versions of classic games like Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana.īut the best bellwether for gauging the likelihood of a Kingdom Hearts 3 PC version is the Final Fantasy series, which Square Enix began porting to PC with Final Fantasy VII in 1998. While far from a done deal, Nomura's statement meshes well with the Square Enix approach to PC versions of their console games in recent years. Kingdom Hearts 3 is the big game release for January 2019 Square Enix "We will consider all of them after the release of the PS4 and Xbox One versions." Interviewed by Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu in 2017, Kingdom Hearts director Tetsuya Nomura said Kingdom Hearts 3 releases for "other hardware" were a definite possibility. Even remasters like Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix only ever appeared on PS3 and PS4. While the Kingdom Hearts series has released installments on everything from Game Boy Advance to a Japanese-only browser game, the series is most associated with PlayStation-both 2002's Kingdom Hearts and 2005's Kingdom Hearts II were Playstation 2 exclusives. And based on previous PC versions of Square Enix titles, we might even be able to pinpoint a reasonable release date window for a Steam version of Kingdom Hearts 3 After years of waiting, Kingdom Hearts 3 is out now on PS4 and Xbox One, but will the concluding chapter in the Dark Seeker Saga come to PC as well? While a PC release for Kingdom Hearts 3 hasn't been announced, there's good reason to believe KH3 will make the jump.
