The "Kingdom Hearts 3" gameplay trailer also revealed Sora's new abilities and Keyblade transformation, which allows him to summon lightning and some huge god-like arms to pummel enemies. Sora can now run up to walls during the Rock Titan boss fight.
Disney villains Pete, Maleficent and Hades are also making a return in "Kingdom Hearts 3" alongside previous antagonists Xemnas and Ansem. But makes the trailer interesting, is that Xemnas mentioned Sora's Nobody Roxas telling the latter on how he will be brought back to life is Sora embrasses his inner darkness, Gamerant reported.
Roxas was introduced as the one of the main protagonists in "Kingdom Hearts 2" and main hero in "Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days." He is Sora's Nobody when the he became a Heartless in the first game and judging by Xemnas's preach to Sora and company, perhaps gaming fans will likely see Roxas return to the third game anytime soon.
