Upcoming announcements

Most Kingdom Hearts announcements at the event will occur within the "Kingdom Hearts Limited Stage", an event on October 14 at 3PM JST. A countdown to this event is above. Here, Kingdom Hearts III information and footage is likely to appear. Nomura has also mentioned his wishes to make another announcement on the stage (quote below | full interview here). Could this be Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX? We'll find out soon.

Nomura : Regarding D23 Expo Japan, this is the first time that Disney holds such an event outside the U.S., so it is a great honor for us to be invited. I’m very happy that we have the opportunity to hold a special conference for Kingdom Hearts. I really want to make a surprise announcement for this event but it is currently under discussion, so we’ll see (laughs). Since we announced Kingdom Hearts III at E3, we cannot make another announcement for the same game. Instead we will announce something else, which you will see soon enough.

Saturday, October 12, 2013

Update 1: An exclusive drawing of Sora, signed by Tetsuya Nomura, is being auctioned off at the event. @luce10wa & @hinako1014 have uploaded a photo of this, and it can be seen below.

Update 2: In a speech from Bob Iger, Walt Disney Company CEO, Kingdom Hearts was mentioned, with reference to the Kingdom Hearts event at D23 Expo Japan occurring on October 14, 2013. (Source: @aibo_ac7)

    I just felt like it. I don't feel bad about KH3 going to X1 but at least give PS the privilege to have all hd remixes exclusive to their console

     

    I understand SE is in need of money right now.
