Square Enix is one of those gaming companies that has a lot of successful franchises that it must keep successfully juggling in order to stay in the big business that they are in.  E3, the big video game convention that occurs annually at the L.A. Convention Center every year, will be another opportunity for the company to show off their latest offerings.  These offerings include such hit games as Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, the third episode of Hitman, Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness, not to mention the big monsters of Final Fantasy 15 and Kingdom Hearts 3, as well as some "exciting Tomb Raider news". 

The Tomb Raider news comes from announcement from Square Enix, according to Gamespot.   What this news is has not been made public, because it is of course waiting for the E3 2016 showfloor for that.  Most of the other games that we previously mentioned will be at the Square Enix booth awaiting fans to play them, with the exception of Final Fantasy 15 and Kingdom Hearts 3

As for Final Fantasy 15, there is going to be an Active Time broadcast at E3 telling players more about the game.  Gamezone focuses on a recent trailer unveiled that shows the beauty of the game's open world of Eos, which has very little gameplay, just a bunch of shots of the very exotic locales.  The trailer can be seen below, and it is very clear that Square Enix is investing a lot in this game with all the stuff that is coming for it like the anime prequel and feature film that we discussed upon its initial announcement last March

As for Kingdom Hearts, it is probably not going to be seen much at E3 2016.  It really all depends on how much of the game is really complete, and with so little heard about it other than rumors, the best fans could probably hope for is an extended trailer, honestly. 

University Herald reports that Kingdom Hearts 3 is looking at a 2017 launch, possibly in April.  Considering that 2016 is sort of the big year for Final Fantasy, it would not surprise me if there is going to be a big announcement at E3 2017 concerning Kingdom Hearts 3

Yes, that does mean the Kingdom Hearts 3 would be arriving after April of 2017, but in all honesty, both Final Fantasy 15 and Kingdom Hearts 3 are games that have been delayed for an extended period of time, so it would not surprise anyone one was delayed even more.  Fortunately, Final Fantasy has its release date set for September 30th
