Update: The official Kingdom Hearts Twitter account released a tweet confirming a trailer release at Jump Festa 2016. The tweet was accompanied with a picture, bearing the logos of both Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue and Kingdom Hearts III. Whether or not these are the trailers released during D23 Expo Japan is unclear at this time. It is also unclear whether Kingdom Hearts III will have its own separate trailer, or if it will be featured all in one trailer. Regardless, stay tuned to KH13 for a livestream of the event!

 

The original article follows.

 

With Jump Festa 2016 approaching this weekend, we wanted to give you a refresher on the event's details. Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue is confirmed to appear at the event with a new trailer, with the possibility of an appearance for Kingdom Hearts III. Jump Festa 2016 is held from December 19 through the 20th (December 18th through the 19th for USA). Square Enix starts at 8:20 PM (USA EST) and ends at 1:30 AM (USA EST) on Friday, and 10:15 PM (USA EST) through 2:20 AM (USA EST) on Saturday, with the event being livestreamed on Square Enix's official Japanese YouTube channel.

Oh God...I'm so hyped up for this!  I'm really hoping this 2.8 trailer gets shown to the public, and I really hope we get to see something on Kingdom Hearts III, even if it's just a little bit!  Jump Festa is so close, I can't wait!!!! X_X

It will be public. Jump Festa is always covered by media. You'll see it as soon as the trailer is viewed.

YES, THE HYPE IS ON!!!  EXCELLENT!!!! THANK YOU, HERO OF WINDS, FOR REASSURING ME!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHH!

I don´t think it will happen but MAYBE they release kingdom hearts X unchained that day!

I have a party that happens right in the middle of Jump Festa, and I'm not willing to miss the hype train! I'm bringing my laptop with me so I don't miss anything! Kingdom Hearts is more important than social interaction.

 I Don't wanna be Peter pessimist but, I doubt there will be any KH3 information there. I'll watch the live stream anyway though

low expectations, people

The event will be livestreamed, so if you're around to watch that then you'll see the trailer! If not, it will be uploaded almost certainly.

Nope, it is indeed this weekend. Seeing as have a guaranteed livestream, I'm slowly coming to the realisation of how awesome this is!

Dammit, you beat me by two minutes.

Awwww yissss!

Actually, we've been paying so much attention to the fact that there's a new trailer, we forgot to acknowledge that Christmas Sora outfit in Nomura's style. It looks cool!

Our hurting will be mended, when Nomura returns to end it

 

 

trying so hard to contain excitement

Time to get hyped for real now! Glad they actually confirmed it.

does that mean that we're going to get some kingdom hearts 3 news?

generally expecting a release date at this point. There will be more gameplay footage and likely a world or two confimed

Yes. Thank you Nomura!
