Screenshots from the upcoming game were posted on the "Kingdom Hearts" official Twitter account. In the images, Sora can be seen fighting a shadow enemy with a mysterious Keyblade while another featured a look at an interesting shield.


It appears that the said screenshots depicted a mysterious Keyblade from a new world and Sora's new Drive Form. Titled Guard Form, the said ability allows the game's protagonist to tap into special powers and wield a shield adapted from the Keyblade of Herc's Shield.

The images also teased of a new Keyblade, one of the weapons that Sora can gain from a yet-to-be-released world. Illustrated as a hammer-shaped weapon, it is still unclear if the said design will serve as the new Keyblade's final shape. "Kingdom Hearts 3" designers edited the said image to keep the Keyblade's details a secret, as indicated in the Twitter message.

However, gaming speculations posted on IGN suggested that the hammer-shaped Keyblade may be part of a new Thor-themed world. Other Keyblade speculations pointed to a potential adaptation of the Disney character Maui's weapon, as a nod to the movie "Moana."
