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.

Trolled T^T

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

 

So not fair.

Why hasn't the title of this thread been changed? We know July 27th isn't the definite release date.

So a friend and I where talking and he thinks that its gonna be out in december i hope its sooner

Why hasn't the title of this thread been changed? We know July 27th isn't the definite release date.

 

I believe it is, why else would they specify a date if they weren't sure? My personal opinion is that them specifying a date means that the date is the current planned date, and that they changed it back because it was an accident to reveal it this early.

thats a nice thought but they changed it twice now, first to Summer 2012 and now its back to just 2012 i would like to think thats the date as well but it could change who knows just got to stay posative i guess lol

Changed to 2012? Seriously? ;n; Damnit SE...

July 27th?! That's my birthday! O_O If it releases then it would be the greatest gift in my life

I bet it will come as soon as July. The voice actor for Neku's already done with his recording right? Richard Epcar has already announced that he's reprising his roles as well. I'm sure he's either in the middle of recording or already finished. I'm sure we'll be seeing english dubbed trailers in no time with a not so distant release date!

It will be my birthday in July so I can treat myself to the English version YESSS CANN'T WAIT!!!

well we're still on march so we got about 4 months for the July release for the english version of KH:3D DDD so keep counting down everyone.

Nice, kingdom hearts 3d all summer day!!

Will North America get "Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance" before Europe?
