Sora is going to get some big help when Kingdom Hearts III launches, with the addition of characters and locals from Disney’s hit animated movie, Big Hero 6.

Big Hero 6 producer Ray Conli confirmed for fans attending Disney’s D23 Expo this weekend, that Sora and crew will be visiting San Fransokyo and teaming up with Baymax and other heroes from Disney’s hit movie.

“The themes in Kingdom Hearts and Big Hero 6 match very well.” said Conli in a video promoting the announcement released today by Square Enix. Conli went on to cite both properties emphasis on the themes of friendship, as well as light over darkness.

The most intriguing aspect of Big Hero 6’s inclusion in Kingdom Hearts III is that the game will pick up after the events of the movie, acting as a continuation of the story, as well as a possible bridge to a cinematic sequel.
