<P> In June 2013, Nomura discussed the updated visuals, saying that the development team tried to return the character's texture to the original "paintbrush art from Disney productions". The resulting visuals were referred to as the Kingdom Shader . Nomura continued, "It may look like a pretty drastic change, but I see it as a rich evolution of everything we've shown you up to now ." Nomura also revealed that Sora is the same proportions as in previous games; however, they "muted the volume on his hair--it's not as wild ." Regarding updating Sora's look from his Kingdom Hearts II design, Nomura noted that outfit's popularity, but felt "the desire to change it" since the game is the first numbered sequel since II's release . He added that the basis for the resulting design is a mix between Sora's costumes for Kingdom Hearts II and Dream Drop Distance, one that is "a lot more sleek and sporty" since "Sora does a lot more...acrobatic (and)... action - oriented movements". Riku and King Mickey also receive updated outfits . Speaking on the designs of the worlds, Nomura said the updated graphical capabilities allowed the development team "to depict the world (s) of the original film (s) as close to (their) original form as possible" after previously creating worlds to be "a stylized Kingdom Hearts world". </P> <P> Series composer Yoko Shimomura returns to compose the music . Takeharu Ishimoto and Tsuyoshi Sekito are also contributing music to the game . In October 2013, Teruzane Utada, father of singer Hikaru Utada, stated that Hikaru would once again be involved in the theme song for Kingdom Hearts III, as she did with Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts II . In February 2018, Hikaru's theme for the game was revealed, titled "Chikai" in Japanese and "Don't Think Twice" in English . </P> <P> Kingdom Hearts III is scheduled to be released in 2018 for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One . </P>
