Kingdom Hearts 3 is not in development (artwork from the Japanese
Final Mix PS2 game).

If you are a big fan of Disney and Square Enix's groundbreaking Kingdom Hearts series, then you'll be saddened by this recent news.

In an interview with Ultimania, the creative director of the Kingdom Hearts series, Tetsuya Nomura, revealed that a third proper Kingdom Hearts game has yet to even begin development.

To quote from the interview:

According to Nomura, people have recently been asking him what he is planning for Kingdom Hearts 3. "KH3. Even though I'm currently busy with Final Fantasy versus XIII, I'm also thinking that it's almost time to start thinking about it seriously," he adds. "Though it's entirely possible that the next game in the series won't be KH3."

Thankfully fans of the series are not completely left out in the dust, as new games in the franchise include two handheld titles: "Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days" for DS and "Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep" for PSP. There is also a mobile game called Kingdom Hearts: Coded that has yet to be released.

Previously released proper games in the series include the PS2 originals: Kingdom Hearts 1 and Kingdom Hearts 2. As well as the GBA game: Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and it's PS2 remake: Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories.

There was also a 2005 mobile game released in the U.S. on Verizon Wireless called "Kingdom Hearts: V-Cast".
