Kingdom Hearts 3 community braces itself for spoilers after big gameplay leak
The Kingdom Hearts 3 community is doing its best to avoid spoilers after at least one copy of the game changed hands and gameplay hit the internet.
Heads up, Kingdom Hearts fans:

The full version (!) of KH3 appears to be out in the wild (some screenshots and videos exist that I won't share here)
But yeah, be careful on both social media and YouTube pic.twitter.com/6QKhu31IaZ
This damaging leak comes over a month before the game is due to launch officially, on 25th January 2019.
Footage of the title screen, install screen and more are online now after a person was seen to be selling multiple copies of Kingdom Hearts 3 via the Facebook Marketplace (listing now deleted).
A brief gameplay video was posted to YouTube as a warning to Kingdom Hearts 3 fans to avoid spoilers (there are a few swears in the video). Mods on r/KingdomHearts have threatened to ban those who ask for a copy of the leak, post a copy of the leak or link to another site which has leaked materials.
We're used to video games breaking their street dates, but this Kingdom Hearts 3 leak comes six weeks before the game is due out, which makes it unusual. We've asked Square Enix for comment.
