"Kingdom Hearts 2" is now official! Buena Vista Games and Square Enix announced that fans will see the return of Sora, Kairi and other Disney favourites in the sequel. Riku, the character that David voiced in the original, is also set to return.
So, will David be reprising his role? When I asked, he responded with this: "I would love to reprise my role and would do it in a heartbeat. I have already spoken with the people from Disney...We discussed me doing Kingdom Hearts 2." You can see screenshots from the upcoming game at GameSpot.
There is also a rumor circulating that Disney also plans to spin off its collaboration with Square into an animated television series. David said, "I have also done a voice over for a possible KH cartoon, but we are not sure if it will go yet." It's not clear what part of the world it might be intended for, but given the popularity of the game, the series may very well be intended for worldwide release.
