Kingdom Hearts III is only six weeks away now, but at least one person has shown a copy that slipped through the floodgates. Clips of the game’s title screen and install screen, among other footage, have made it on to the internet.
A brief gameplay was also posted on YouTube, but it has since been removed. According to Eurogamer, it served as a warning to fans to do their best to avoid leaking any possible spoilers.

Responding to the leak, director Tetsuya Nomura says the biggest spoilers are not yet in the game. He says that the ending of the game, specifically the epilogue and secret movie, will be released at a later date.

In light of the current development, this can be seen by fans as a good thing. And indeed it is a smart move, particularly if it’s to be released as day-one free DLC. Because obviously it’s a bad idea to lock the ending of a game behind a paywall.
