Last week, Kingdom Hearts III director Tetsuya Nomura revealed that the game’s original 2018 release wouldn’t have been good timing for a variety of reasons. In a fresh interview with Japanese magazine Famitsu, he further elaborated on the matter.

According to Nomura, as translated by Mystic, the Kingdom Hearts III delay to January 2019 will allow the game to have a simultaneous worldwide release, a statement which is in line with the previous one mentioning suggestings from hardware manufacturers, marketing teams and more.
