Fans have been waiting for this day for long time, and it's finally here: Kingdom Hearts 3's release date has arrived. Square Enix's new action RPG launched today, January 29, 2019, for PS4 and Xbox One, marking the conclusion of the franchise's ongoing story that dates back almost two decades. If you haven't already locked in a pre-order, you have some options to be aware of, including some pre-order bonuses.

　　Kingdom Hearts 3 takes you and series protagonist Sora on a journey to a variety of Disney-themed worlds, including everything from Toy Story to Monsters Inc. to Pirates of the Caribbean. It marks the conclusion of the story that's been told across the series, but if you're eager for the very end, you'll have a bit of a wait. The video epilogue will be released shortly after launch.

　　Now Playing: Kingdom Hearts 3 Exploring The Pirates Of The Caribbean World (Mid-Late Game)

　　For those who have not kept up on the many twists and turns of the Kingdom Hearts story, that's okay. If you want to get caught up, we have a Kingdom Hearts story recap to help you get ready.

　　Reviews have finally been released, and you can read what we thought in our Kingdom Hearts 3 review. In it, critic Tamoor Hussain writes, "But the story of Keyblade wars, time-travelling villains, body-hopping also-rans, and world-ending darkness isn't what I'll remember about Kingdom Hearts 3 or the series as a whole. What sticks with me is the exciting battle against elemental titans with Hercules, taking Rapunzel out into the unfamiliar wide world for the first time, snapping selfies with Winnie the Pooh, and going toe to toe with Davy Jones. In 2002, as Sora, I left Destiny Islands to travel across the universe and make new friends. In 2019 I brought old ones home, and I had so much fun doing it."
