Update 6: A game store from the Netherlands, known as Game Mania, have put up a pre-order page for the game-- and this page confirms the expected release date for Europe, July 27, 2012. Since we have now seen this same date published on both a French and Dutch website, we can be quite sure that the given date is official. Thanks to mistressLuck from KH13 for the find. Keep in mind that this suggests a mid-July release for North America.

 

Update 5: Square Enix France have AGAIN changed the published release date of the game. While before, we were given "July 27, 2012", and saw it be changed to "Summer 2012", we have now received another change-- this time to just "2012". Square Enix are being incredibly vague about this, let's hope that they make a more official announcement soon!

 

Update 4: Looking at the page on the Square Enix France store, we can see that the game states that there will be "English voices and French subtitles". Also, Sora's French voice actor from previous games has Tweeted that he was not contacted about the role. This suggests that the game probably won't be dubbed in any non-English European languages, and instead will just receive subtitles. So a big sorry to our French, German and Italian fans (who will all get a subtitled game, but not a dubbed one)!

 

Update 3: Square Enix France have also revealed the boxart for the European version of the game. This is exactly the same as the Japanese boxart for Kingdom Hearts 3D, except, the game logo is moved from the bottom-left to the top-right. Enjoy.

 

 

Update 2: KHDestiny have Tweeted that they contacted Square Enix France, and Square Enix France stated that Kingdom Hearts 3D is "now set for a Summer 2012" release. This means that Kingdom Hearts 3D will release sometime during Summer 2012 in Europe, and Square Enix are probably aiming for sometime around July 27 (but it is not yet set in stone).

 

Remember, the only reason we know July 27, 2012 is accurate is because it comes from Square Enix. Square Enix have made no mention of the North American release date yet, and any given dates by game stores (especially those on the 1st or last day of a month) are just placeholders/predictions. EB Games Canada, for example, have had a "July 1" date up since January, where stores like Amazon.com claim "December 31". These are just placeholders.

 

Update 1: Square Enix France have since edited the website to say "Summer 2012" (between June 2012 and August 2012). This is probably because they were not supposed to reveal the release date yet (as there has been no official announcement), but keep in mind that it could mean it was in error. We'll have to wait to find out more information.

 

Square Enix France have revealed the release date for Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance in Europe. According to their official online store, the European version of the game will release on July 27, 2012 (well, the France version to be specific, but France release date = Europe release date 90% of the time). This means we can probably expect a July release for North America, and a release the same week as France/Europe for Australia. Thanks to sqexgal, KH Destiny and Chao_Loulou for the find.

I should be happy about this but it's still aaaaages away... I'll be content when we finally get an English trailer.

Yes! That is so much closer than I was thinking. I presumed they would have it out in September after the KH original release date. They so better have an English trailer and demo at E3. Maybe they'll officially confirm the release date too.

 

Aha,and this month called Goa,which months is it next to,and why haven't anyone else heard of this month called GOA? And why do the schools not teach you of this additional month,and why is this additional month NOT on A SINGLE CALANDER?! I'm just happy there is plenty of evidence that this fake month doesn't exist!

 

Goa is a month. He's poking fun that we are all using the Christian calendar but on just about every other calendar (Norse which is what he's referring to, Greek, Egyptian, maybe Chinese) it would be 5 months since they follow astrological movements. He's the Norse God of Mischief so of course he is going to poke fun at us.

 

So, yeah, he's not trolling; just being a smartass. Where's Thor? We need his mallet

ok regaring the months everyone knows the order, congratz. But ppl count diffrently and that the problem some include the first month (march) = 5 months

personally i count 5 too cuz we gotta wait march, april, may, june and july right?

 

So did i solve the problem

 

Um,I meant from when the Japanise version comes out,not from NOW! Of course it would be 5 months from NOW!

Let's see march april may june july 5 months in exactly 5 months the game should come in the us and europe!

 

Yeeeah,I meant from when the Japanise version comes out ,not from now!

Ohh,interesting fact! I wonder why non-religion people would choose a Christian Calender. I guess because it just works better. I didn't even know differen't cultures/religions had different calanders!

You don't count the month you're in (since we are counting from the Japanese release, which is March). It's like saying that if your birthday is tomorrow you count today and tomorrow so your birthday is 2 days away. No it's not, there is one full day (24 hrs) until your birthday.

Math has never been discussed like this on KH13 before.

I'm gonna buy it as soon as is released in NA no matter what it takes!

Your missing Goa.

And Im not a troll, so I wasnt "attempting" anything.

 

That's not a real month *

we could get an english trailer if the english actors could finished recording and announce a summer release for europe and the u.s.

That's not a real month *

 

Ah, it looks like the genius of the forum figured it out before you. Better luck next time.

There is no need to get my brother involved. Or his blunt objects.

You're just jealous of Thor, like you've always been.

This month has been an excellent month for news ^-^ I also can't wait for the March 3rd Event~

I am perfectly fine with July, as I have plenty of time to rake up some money for it. This also gives KH the opportunity to be showcased at E3, English trailer and all.

OK. I would like to familiarize myself, for education's sake, but I cannot find anything about Goa on the internet. Could you give me a link? I'm now very curious.

Does anyone know if the March 3 event be broadcast to public?

hehe yeah i figured it would be great if it really does get out in july

I knew the earliest we'd be able to get it would be June or July! Since it seems that we'll be getting it in July that means I was right! Woo who! I finally made an accurate prediction about a game's release date! I apologize if this seems a bit too excited.

Well, they've changed it again to 2012 http://kh13.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/smiley-neutral.png
