Japanese gaming giant have yet to confirm the existence of a full third title in the series, but today the firm delivers a very sizable hint that a new title is on the way - urging players to look out for a video at the end of Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep.

The hint was offered by series creator Tetsuya Nomura, who urges people to play to the end of the new adventure.

Chatting with Famitsu (thanks Nintendo Everything), he hinted that word on a new game could be offered at the handheld title's finale.

"I think there are a lot of puzzling elements, so maybe they'll want to play the next game...And there'll be a secret too."

Nomura wouldn't be drawn into confirming or denying the new title. Birth by Sleep will be released in time for in Japan.
