Jesse McCartney, the voice actor for Roxas in the English releases of games in the Kingdom Hearts series, has confirmed via Twitter that localization for Kingdom Hearts -HD 1.5 ReMIX- is currently underway.

This is the first time that we've heard any confirmation of this, so it is certainly a big deal! McCartney uploaded a picture of work being done in the recording booth. You can see a scene from 358/2 Days playing in the background. This can be seen below.

Update 1: McCartney has uploaded a video of himself recording battle sounds for the game. In the background, footage from the title can be seen. We have uploaded this to YouTube, and it can be seen below.

Update 2: Alyson Stoner, the voice actor for Xion in the English version of 358/2 Days, has mentioned via her official website that she will be "Voicing a familiar character in a popular video game (can’t spill details yet)" in 2013. Thanks go to KHInsider for the find. As her only two video game roles have been Xion in 358/2 Days and minor roles in Phineas and Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension, it sounds likely that this "familiar character" is in fact Xion. Stay tuned!

    I really hope they don't have the footage playing because they need to match how they say their lines with how the lips are moving in the Japanese footage.  I hate when they don't do full localization with lip-syncing.  But it might be there for the actor so they can better picture themselves in the role.  I guess we'll wait and see.  I hope this is a summer release :3

    Or it was leaked and removed to make a big hype about it to the fans, because how did they not see him using his smart phone to record that video?  You would be surprised how many "leaks" are planned.  I know the game company my friend works at does it, or at least used to.

    Eventually they would announce that Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix will debut overseas, we just got the news a little early.

    I actually like this theory. It would ideally make sense to do something to make everyone not in Japan excited. They kill two birds with one stone. Japanese Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix is coming out real soon and they hype the rest of the world that the English version is in work in progress. Plus there isn't much more to report about Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix since they have released a lot of the top/cool features that are going to be implemented.

    He probably got slapped on the wrist for doing that, also with voice recordings going on now the game could be out not too long after its out in Japan.

    Now please just give me the return of Christopher Lee as DiZ, and my life will be perfect.  Having Hayden Pannettiere voicing Xion wouldn't hurt, either. :D

    I know we all know that 1.5 is coming out in America, but this is really cool. So I was following Jesse on Instagram, and on the picture of him recording that scene, I asked, "Is this for kh 1.5?" And he then replied, "Yes it is!" I was so excited that he actually confirmed it for me! I hope he doesn't get in trouble though.

    Well, considering the scene he was recording was from 358/2 days...

    Actually, the role Allyson is talking about might be the Young Justice game, from what I've heard. Apparently she plays Batgirl?

    So it's either that, or Xion. FIngers crossed for Xion.

    Even if he's in trouble I'm sure all the love and happiness from the English speaking fans is counteracting it.

    For spilling the beans, lol.

     

    But if it wasn't for him, we'd probably be waiting an extra couple months or so for the official announcement...That's probably why he did it, haha.

     

    We deserved that info!!

     

    Now I can't WAIT for this game and 2.5. On a 60" HDTV...*DROOL*....

    Alyson might be coming back as Xion? fml....

     

    Ok Alyson, you did a good job in Young Justice. So I'm hoping that means your voice acting has improved, this is your 2nd chance.
