The world and characters from Disney’s animated movie Big Hero 6 are to appear in Kingdom Hearts 3, Square Enix has announced.

The movie’s inclusion is said to be “an integral part of Kingdom Hearts 3”, and will see Sora and friends travelling to San Fransokyo following the events of the film.

“Big Hero 6 is such a special film for me – and we always made sure that each action sequence had a very special meaning,” said the movie’s producer Roy Conli. “The themes in Kingdom Hearts and Big Hero 6 match very well. For instance there’s friendship, really important to both stories, and then of course light over darkness.

“The story will take place after the events of the film, after Hiro and the gang have formed a heroic team. Not only will this allow us to explore all new adventures focussed on great action, but we’ll also get to see Baymax again.”

You can see the first piece of concept art for Big Hero 6’s world, which shows Sora riding on the back of Baymax high above the city of San Fransokyo, in the image above, or check out the announcement trailer below.

A release date for Kingdom Hearts 3 has yet to be announced.
