Square Enix has released two new screenshots for Kingdom Hearts 3. These were first showcased during its presentation at Paris Games Week, and show a new Drive Form called Guard Form. In the first image we can see Sora wielding what looks like a powered up version of Herc's Shield.

In a second image, Sora is transforming the Keyblade into a massive hammer to smash a Heartless. According to a Square Enix Twitter post, "this power form was edited as it is the Keyblade from a world that hasn’t been released yet, so it has changed into a hammer shape."
