Nomura states in the interview:

This is monumental news for Kingdom Hearts fans. There hasn’t been any news about the next installment in the widely popular series since E3 last month, though fans were promised more information at D23 next month. With D23 just weeks away, this is sure to get all fans excited about the title. In light of this new information on the developmental status of the game, it is looking like Kingdom Hearts 3 will be releasing sooner than we think. Perhaps a late 2016 window is the aim for Square Enix.
