No. Beyond being rumored after KH2 as the 4 games came on the period, KH3 only began development in 2013 when it was announced. The game went gold last year so it was almost 6 years of development.
Also, it's SE that invests on the franchise as the publisher (even if they don't own it), not really Disney. In fact, only in 3 Disney began to be more involved in the series (besides supervision and other aspects), even doing some marketing with D23 events.
Anywhere near how long? The teaser trailer was shown in June 2013 showcasing the new engine, the heartless mob, and actual gameplay. Even if they managed to whip all that up in 2013 alone, we're looking at at least 6 years, and 6 years is pretty close to 7...
But looking at how good that teaser looked in 2013, I'd bet they were working on it for at least a year by then, probably longer.
Nah, they began it in 2013 and finished in november 2018. 5 years and 10 months.
If I remember correctly, for that entire event including the XV reveal, did they not openly admit that was Target Render? and when it was under development in Luminous in which they have said they had to scrap and start over with UE4?
They admitted at e3 that they basically had nothing and we're showing things early to support ps4 in Japan. Hell ffxv gameplay was rendered footage as well.
Also 6 years is close to 7 is a very weird logic to start following in these kinds of conversations
Well deserved. Had a blast with this game.
So, 2016 had FFXV, 2017 had NieR:A and 2019 has had KH3 all sell super well. Hopefully we get another big or semi big JRPG from Square next year. They're clearly doing very well(And I really enjoy Squares output)

edit: nvm, source was VGChartz. They did about the same.
But Disney will carry KH3 to 10M no probs
Glad that the best worlds were used in the tweet. Ok maybe not big hero 6 but its better than frozen's world.
Zelda BoTW, Mario Odyssey, God of War and Kingdom Hearts 3, my 4 favorite franchises are the best they've ever been, I've been spoiled this Gen.
Congratulation to Nomura and the Osaka Team!

Every world was better than Frozen, even Tangled poorly done one.
It'll be interesting. KH3 definitely has a better word of mouth so far.
That's the typical Era bubble. Elsewhere on the internet, the common conception was that RE2 would outsell KH3 because nobody wanted to play KH games anymore. Glad to see that it wasn't true.
Crow coming in SPICY HOT
Lol This is going to get a lot of use.
I wonder what the advertizing from Disney was like this time.
I no longer watch kids channels so I havent seen any ads (I think I got just one on youtube). Have they done any major promitions?
Either way, this is great news and I hope the game is gonna get some free DLC soon (Critical mode pls).

That sounds about right from what everyone's been saying here. I'd still imagine the budget to be massive. Is it safe to assume it crossed the $100 million mark, before marketing?
Well deserve, it's probably a long while since a game sequel i'm waiting on was worth the wait
When it was announced at E3 they have nothing outside of that full on teaser / render target. I'm getting the full on dev was actually just after Nomura got kicked off FFXV
I wish lol. I'm thinking they might release Babylon falls in 2020 since I've already given up on that coming out this year. They've been way too quiet.
It's easy to talk about ship number because publishers get orders from retailer in advance, and they can just add them together. Plus, why should publishers care about sell through anyway? They sell the game to retailer, all the rest falls on retailer's shoulder, publishers already get the money.
