Aqua gracefully slides down the shattered bridge and jumps from the end of its path, FlowMotion style.

A tower of shadow Heartless confronts her, much like Sora encounters in theKH3trailer Twilight Town footage.

This potentially means that thisFragmentary Passagegame will act as a warm-up toKH3.

The most intriguing aspect to this portion of the trailer comes in its final moments.

Suddenly, a voice startles her from behind.

Aqua, says Terra, slowly moving toward her.

ClearlyFragmentary Passagewill pack more of a punch for fans than just being a side story to pass the time.

Darkness will prevail and the light expire, says the possible traitor in an Organization XIII coat.

The trailers final moments lead to the inevitable KeyBlade War referenced in previousKingdom Heartstitles.

When the time comes and there is war, commands the Vulpes leader.

You mustnt fight but instead fly away from here to the world outside!

Of course, with a release date of December 2016, the developers knew not to leave fans hanging.

Tacked on in the final seconds is a notice aboutKingdom Hearts 3and an upcoming announcement this winter.

Boy, are we ready.
