Kingdom Hearts III co-director Tai Yasue speaking with Newsweek discussed why it took so long for Square Enix to develop the game.
"Our current engine is great in terms of developing a high end AAA title, but because there was a change in technology and work flows, it took some time for the team to adapt and adjust," said Yasue.
"I’m truly sorry to have kept everyone waiting for so long!" Yasue added. "It took a while, but we really wanted to make sure the game met everyone’s expectations. I hope, more than I’ve hoped for anything else in my 20 years of making games, that you all enjoy it."
Kingdom Hearts III will launch for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on January 25, 2019 in Japan and Asia, and January 29 in North America and Europe.
