The beach of [[Destiny Islands]] is then shown, with the [[Master's Defender]] Keyblade lying on the sand. Sora, now in his ''Kingdom Hearts II'' attire, approaches it and lifts it, looking at it curiously before shifting his gaze to the horizon. The game logo then appears.  

A gameplay video follows, Sora begins running through [[Twilight Town]], wielding the [[Kingdom Key]]. He is chased by a swarm of [[Shadow]]s similar to a [[Demon Tide]] and flees, dodging the swarm by jumping off the sides of buildings in a way similar to his [[Flowmotion]] abilities from ''Dream Drop Distance''. After riding the swarm in a manner similar to [[Vanitas]] riding the Keyblades in ''Birth by Sleep'', Sora turns around and leaps to confront the swarm head on. The screen then cuts to black and reveals that the game is in development.  

On June 5, 2014, Square Enix released the E3 2014 trailer for ''Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX''. Towards the end of the E3 2014 trailer, there is a teaser for ''Kingdom Hearts III''. The 30-second teaser begins with several scenes from ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'' along with the line "The next act opens--" and then the line "KINGDOM HEARTS III" appears. The remainder of the teaser features two unidentified people discussing the Keyblade War. The screen remains black, with sketches of their faces in white, though their faces are too far zoomed-in to identify.  

{{Q|"Have you heard of the ancient Keyblade War? Many years ago, Keyblade wielders started a war over the ownership of light."<br/>"Yep, the Master loves telling that story."<br/>"Then I take it you also know of the 'lost masters'."<br/>"Nope, where'd you hear that?"<br/>"On that land shall darkness prevail and light expire,"|Xehanort and Eraqus}}

This is followed by a black screen and a flash of the Roman numeral III from the ''Kingdom Hearts III'' logo. The last line appears: "But you knew that, didn't you?" The roman numeral III from the logo flashes again, followed by the note that the game is "Now in Development".

As part of the first performance of ''Kingdom Hearts Orchestra -World Tour-'' in Los Angeles on June 10, 2017, Square Enix launched a new trailer for ''Kingdom Hearts III''. The new trailer further showcases Olympus Coliseum and gameplay in that world, as Sora dives into Mt. Olympus and fights several Heartless using Shotlock-style attacks, alongside Donald, Goofy, and Hercules. It also showcases an attack using both Sora and Goofy. It then features a conversation amongst Maleficent, Pete, and Hades, where Maleficent asks for knowledge concerning a black box. Further gameplay and a battle against the Rock Titan is then shown. Later, Xemnas confronts Sora at the Old Mansion, stating that the only way to bring back Roxas is to use the power of darkness. The trailer ends with the logo, then an invitation for all to watch the next trailer at D23 in July.
