In around two weeks, Square Enix will release the PC version of Final Fantasy XV. According to the team, a PC version of Final Fantasy XV was considered right from the start, however, there is another Square Enix triple-A game that is currently under development. That game is Kingdom Hearts 3 (Square Enix is also working on FF7Remake but this has already been confirmed was already hinted for the PC). And while Kingdom Hearts 3 has only been announced for PS4 and Xbox One, we may actually see it on the PC after its console release.
As Square Enix’s technical director and lead programmer, Takeshi Aramaki, told RPS, the publisher is currently aiming to bring as many titles to as many different platforms as possible.
“I think the rule of the company, the strategy, has very much moved in the direction of trying to get as many of our games out on as many different platforms as possible to reach as many different players as possible, so I think you’ll definitely be seeing a lot more platforms and a lot more broader release of games in the future.”
What ultimately this means is that Square Enix may consider bringing Kingdom Hearts 3 to our platform too. After all, Kingdom Hearts 3 has been in development for a long time and is perhaps the only SE game that has not been announced for the PC. Not only that, but we are certain that the publisher will undoubtedly want to release the game on as many platforms as possible (in order to cover the costs of its huge development cycle). Also, the game is using Unreal Engine 4 so a PC version should, theoretically, be a simpler task than Final Fantasy XV PC.
Of course, this isn’t the first time we’re hearing about Kingdom Hearts 3 coming to the PC. Back in July 2017, Kingdom Hearts 3 director Tetsuya Nomura claimed that Square Enix will consider bringing it to other platforms.
So yeah, while this isn’t a solid confirmation of a PC version for Kingdom Hearts 3, it’s a bit obvious that the publisher will consider it. And if Final Fantasy XV PC is a commercial success, we are almost certain that this new Kingdom Hearts game will, eventually, find its way to our platform!

lol… so true!
“(…) FF7Remake but this has already been confirmed for the PC”
when? source please.
fixed, it was hinted (first on Playstation. Square Enix is working closely with Sony so it will most likely come to the PC too, similarly to what happened with Street Fighter V). It has not been confirmed though.
It also helps that both KH3 and FFVII Remake utilize Unreal Engine 4…. But as for their general strategy, quite sound. And if they keep inching away from Denuvo, even better.
Just give us your games without extra crutches and I’m sure we’ll be golden.
I am not sure the PS fanboys will be able to handle such a news. So mostly not happening.
Can’t complain about getting more ports, but I’d much rather see something like Project Octopath Traveler come to PC (currently Switch only). The whole KH series is such a clusterf*ck anyways, and look at how amazing POT looks.

Wow, that does look really awesome.
I rather not learn Japanese to play it though
I would die if POT came to the PC, I have loved it the moment I saw it!
i dont care at all for FF but kingdom hearts 3 is day one buy for me! I played 1 and 2 on PC with pcsx2 emulator and the psp ones with psp emulator. glad that finaly i will play it the way it meant to be played(real pc version)
same i think its gonna be a preorder for me if its true
They said PC like 8 years ago when they talked about KH3. It will be on PC, eventually.
Launches Kingdom Hearts Collection first before launching Kingdom Hearts 3.
keep begging pirates.. we’ll get there one day
Do you work for Ubisoft?
I remember when it was supposed to happen on PS3 10 years ago !

Translation: Wait until Kingdom Hearts 3 Windows Edition.
Wow, they didn’t even mention Kingdom Hearts at all in the interview. Nice speculation (clickbait) article.
Well they not by word but they do sorta talk about it just not specifically
LOL PC gamers gotta beg for those great games. Like this, RDR, RDR 2, Last of Us, Days Gone, Uncharted, Bloodborne…etc. At least you guys got star citizen…aka No Man’s Sky 2.
The PC exclusive list is quite a bit bigger than that.
Well luckily The Last of Us will be playable on PC via emulation
RDR same with that one
RDR 2 that may show up we don’t really know
Same with Uncharted at least 1-3 and everything except 4
“Lol, people don’t want to be forced to buy a new system they don’t need to play a game, what losers!”
If they are like Square Enix’s pathetic current PC releases from the last 5 years then, no thanks keep it to yourselves unless you give a crap enough to do it right. Instead of the awful level of uneven design choices in said ports and incredible level of inconsistency from one release to the next.
Nomura has hinted at KH3 coming to PC since E3 2013
