Instead of "Kingdom Hearts 3," fans have seen countless sequels and prequels on handheld devices including Nintendo's Game boy and PlayStation's PSP systems.

The new footage shown at E3 Tuesday looks like typical in-game play for a "Kingdom Hearts" game - you take your keyblade out and slash away at the bad guys.

And, well, this just looks cool:

Not much was said about the game itself. No release date was given, nor were there any plot details or news on what changes players can expect from the sequel. It was solely announced as being in development for next-gen consoles.

The one thing we do know is that we can expect to play in the world of Disney's 2010 hit "Tangled."

The last time fans saw footage for "Kingdom Hearts 3" was when it was announced two years back at E3 2013.

So after the new footage dropped, as expected, fans lost it.
