Various Sources Confirm: KH3 will have English and Japanese Audio Only

Details

It's been a subject of speculation for a while now whether Kingdom Hearts III's international version would receive audio dubs in other languages besides English. We previously posted an article on the subject not looking likely. Now, Square-Enix's German EU store site confirms that the although there will be various text options, there will only be English audio.

 

 

This comes as a somewhat expected disappointment, as Kingdom Hearts hasn't had multilanguage audio since Kingdom Hearts II. 

You can see the details for yourself here.  We will update you as we learn more. 

UPDATE: 

 IGN France confirms this, saying: 

“On JVTV [live streaming show], Square-Enix France's managing director Florent Moreau confirms the absence of french dub for Kingdom Hearts 3. There will only be English and Japanese audio."

 

To clarify: this means that Kingdom Hearts III is only being recorded in English and Japanese. Not that you can switch between both audio tracks in the final game. 

Kingdom Hearts III releases January 29th, 2019, worldwide, on the PS4 and XboxOne consoles. Follow Kingdom Hearts Insider on Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr for the latest updates on Kingdom Hearts Union X[cross], Kingdom Hearts III, and all things related to Kingdom Hearts!

Sad but not a deal breaker. Although my Latin American Spanish sub dream is dead, I'm just excited it comes out soon.

I mean, they are still working on voice acting for English. Imagine if they included all other languages. I'm not saying the game wouldn't benefit from additional languages, but the time and effort to coordinate voice acting for those languages would take some time.

WAIT but does this mean if KH3 releases in US it will have English AND Japanese audio? Or will it just have English audio? I have to decide between which version to buy depending on this situation......

Meh oh well. Would've been really really awesome to play KH in German again but eh I guess I'll have to just play it in English then. Not a big problem.

This is awful. This game will have in-game dialogues, and this is almost impossible to a not bilangual person to follow the action on the screen AND the subtitles at the midle of a fight. I'm french, I growed up with the french dubs and I was hoping with all my heart for european dubs. Sorry for my bad english.
Sora's french and german voice will always be my favorite.

The voice talents seem to be more diverse for this game considering the amount of characters featured. I'm not surprised that this is the case.

English is arguably the preffered dub for Kingdom Hearts so I don't see that happening.

The casting and voice directors must have quite the work load for this project. I can't imagine the budget if they were to try and do this for more than English and Japanese dubs.

Considering it is already confirmed that Nomura & co. apparently packed this title full with story content and Yokomura has to compose much more music than ever before the scale of KH III overshadows I and II in scope so I guess there is also much more voice work to do, especially if the lesser NPCs are also voiced.

It's already a huge task to do that in two languages, doing in in four or five would probably delay KH III to April 2019 or something.
