Bill Farmer did say that Kingdom Hearts III is set to release this year. However, based on what has been said by the Square Enix development team, the game is no where near ready. In addition, following questioning on his Twitter account, there appears to be question as to what game he's truly referring to. He claims he's sure it's Kingdom Hearts III, though at one point, he admitted that it was actually Re:coded (which he would have recorded new lines for, but that released last month). Square Enix has announced via Twitter last night that there is no announced release date for Kingdom Hearts III, though from the wording, they didn't necessarily say it wouldn't come out this year, either, they just said it's not announced. Bill Farmer has also said on Twitter over the last 24 hours that he doesn't know when Kingdom Hearts III will come out.

It's a really weird scenario. Logically, it's possible that Bill is confused as to what he recorded for. However, what is a fact is that he recorded for a Kingdom Hearts game, and something during the recording, whether it's the length of the recording or something he heard or saw, led him to believe it was the anticipated Kingdom Hearts III. The only way that would be true is if Square Enix has been lying about where the game is in development, but there's no way to prove that. The other thing that could be happening is that he actually recorded for a different game, but what? Re:coded already came out last month as part of Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX. Other than Kingdom Hearts III, there's not officially announced game in the works. Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance HD doesn't make sense because there aren't many lines for Goofy in the game, even if it was converted to pure cutscenes. So what is going on?

What has been accepted around the community is that something is definitely in the works. What is not so sure is whether it's Kingdom Hearts III, or another title. I'd be watching closely over the next month or so to see what turns up. But for now, no, Kingdom Hearts III is not set for 2015, not yet.
