Coverage: Kingdom Hearts Fan Event at D23 Expo Japan 2018


Leamax

Welcome to KH13.com’s coverage of D23 Expo Japan 2018, which returns to Tokyo Disney Resort on February 10-12, 2018, for a third time to celebrate all things Disney!

 

This time, a Kingdom Hearts Fan Event is taking place as part of its Disney Magical Theatre program on Saturday, February 10, at 4:00 PM to 5:20 PM JST. This is:

· Friday, February 9 at 11:00 PM - 12:20 AM PST;

· Saturday, February 10 at 1:00 AM - 2:20 AM CST, 2:00 AM - 3:20 AM EST, and 7:00 AM – 8:20 AM GMT.

 

There is no indication that this event will be livestreamed; rather, it was said that the program will be giving “an amazing experience exclusive to this event”. It is currently unknown what the Kingdom Hearts Fan Event will be about, what will be shown, and if Kingdom Hearts III will be shown or not.

 

In 2015, Kingdom Hearts had made an appearance at D23 Expo Japan in 2015 during the Kingdom Hearts Premium Theatre, showing off an exclusive Kingdom Hearts III trailer, a “Making of Kingdom Hearts III” video, and Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, among other things. The event was not broadcast live at the time, and its contents were exclusive to the lucky attendees; only some screenshots were released to the public at the time, and a month later, a small part of the footage shown at the event was later included in a recap of the Expo on Japanese TV channel DLife.

 

During this coverage, we will be collecting all the information available from the attendees of the D23 Expo Japan 2018 and the Kingdom Hearts Fan Event, and keep you up to date with all available news. So stay tuned!

my only hope is that they don't drop a release date with multiple editions and have the sale go on right after like they did FFXV. FFXV's initial preorders were so poorly handled, those UCEs just vanished in seconds... yet that was prly SE's best UCE to date. I am almost 99.9% sure theyre gonna release multiple editions of KH3 given the almost equal in length hype to FFXV that KH3 has had.

 

but this is all provided we even get a confirmed release date aside from "2018" lol

Man! Finally some more Tangled gameplay and Monsters Inc! So good!

That yoyo keyblade tranformation is epic :D

I expected some Big Hero 6 gameplay. I guess they are not done with it. Hope it will be at E3 with the release date.

I love the trailers!!! The theme song is quite refreshing (as it is using my favourite time signature) and I love it (both English and Japanese versions)!

 

Oh man, I can feel my mind turning mush from creating some delicious theories... yum.

 

We did it! We got our big trailers.

Can't stop replaying it again and again for now.

And they were fantastic! I can't wait to fight alongside them already! :')

Well, I'm pointing this out because I don't like Tangled. But, unfortunately, I probably might have to play that world to progress through the storyline, so KH3 will be a waste of money in my opinion, because they wasted the worlds with what I consider Disney's worse movies. They could have used the Black Cauldron! They could've used POTC: Dead Man's Chest! Heck, they could've even used the worlds from KH 3D: Dream Drop Distance, such as Tron Legacy, 3 Musketeers or The Hunchback of Notre Damme! But no! They decided to use Tangled & Monsters Inc. A bunch of preschool predates & chick flicks aren't KH World-worthy! They have to be childhood classics!
