Does Best Buy know something we don't? Square Enix has yet to announce the official release date "Kingdom Hearts III," but according the tech retailer's pre-order, KH3 will be out Dec. 31, 2013.

Best Buy may be getting ahead of itself. Fans of the "Kingdom Hearts" franchise will at least have to see a full gameplay trailer before they start putting money down on a pre-order.

However, the retailer did offer a pretty sweet synopsis of the game, that is currently in development:

Join your favorite Disney characters as they set off for adventure once again in the latest installment in the Kingdom Hearts legacy. Resume your place in this action RPG as you attempt to complete challenging missions with your favorite characters. Because of his firm but misguided belief that light and darkness must always remain in balance, the villainous Master Xehanort has sparked a flame that may turn into the all-out inferno of war against the "tyranny of light". Ask yourself - is equilibrium really worth the price of war?

It's up to you and your pals Sora, Donald and Goofy to undermine the catastrophic plot of Master Xehanort before it is too late. In an effort to do just that, these three set off on a journey to find the seven guardians of light, as well as the Key to Return Hearts. But these efforts alone may not be enough to halt war in its tracks. King Mickey and Riku must also search for previous Keyblade wielders in a final attempt to thwart Xehanort's nefarious plans. Gather your wits and buck up your courage - only you and your cast of Disney characters can stop this war.

Latest rumors say KH3 may feature Marvel and Star Wars characters and universes. Comi-Con 2013 is two days away, and Marvel will be holding a panel this Saturday. I wonder if they will address any KH3 rumors?
