Sony announced "Kingdom Hearts III" for the PlayStation 4 with a teaser trailer at its E3 2013 event in June 2013. Square Enix later confirmed the game's cross-platform release for the Xbox One as a port of the PlayStation 4 version. Though some development and concepts for the game began during the seventh generation of video game consoles, it was always intended that the game would release during the eighth generation. Unlike "Kingdom Hearts" and "Kingdom Hearts II", which were developed by Square Enix's Product Development Division 1 team, "Kingdom Hearts III" was developed by Square Enix's 1st Production Department, who developed "Birth by Sleep", "Dream Drop Distance", and worked on the "HD 1.5 Remix" collection and Square Enix's Business Division 3. Rie Nishi serves as the game's producer. The game began using the in-house Luminous Studio engine to develop the game after some initial development tests had been done using the Unreal Engine 3.
