To kick off D23 Expo Japan 2015, Disney and Square Enix are hosting a special event called the Kingdom Hearts Premium Theater. This is a private event in Japan, in which we expect some huge news for Kingdom Hearts III! Because we do not expect a livestream of the event, official or otherwise, we will be using this article to provide live updates in addition to articles covering any big announcements that come up. The doors will open at 10:00pm EST (7:00pm PT) and the event begins at 11:00pm EST (8:00pm PT). Make sure to stay tuned here, on KH13.com, and our social media pages for all Kingdom Hearts news from the Kingdom Hearts Premium Theater!

Still silent. No information is to be displayed till 3:00 AM (mostly because surely they will wait till the second showing ends) :/

    Has there been any news so far, or has it been silent?

    We won't really know until 12:00AM-3:00AM. No one is allowed to record, photo, message, tweet, or post anything until the events are over.

     

     

    "Really emotional scenes"?

     

    My curiosity is getting squirrely... X3"

    The poor souls. Just bursting with enthusiasm and they can barely even express it.

     

    Also, considering the timeline, it's likely that they meant Lea when they referred to Axel.

    OH FOR THE LOVE OF-!

     

    GAH, I wish they would stop making so many of these trailers exclusive like that! We deserve to see how it's progressing too. And I wouldn't mind seeing a 3D model of Daybreak Town, let alone a Mount Olympus model. Grrr, well, they at least better show us most of everything else with the new trailer tomor-....to...night?...at 10PM.

    Why 1AM/10PM of all times though? If it's actually being posted in reference to time in the States, then why not pick a time like 12PM or 5PM? Why force everybody to stay up so late? I mean, it's people's choice whether they stay up or not, but come on, after a whole day of "no you can't see anything" who isn't going to break their sleep schedule for the sake of seeing at least one or two trailers?

    This was a Japanese event, so they're releasing it by Japanese time zones. 1:00 AM here is like 3:00 pm there. That's assuming it's evendors released at all. I want to believe it will be bit it's been brought to my attention that there's no official source stating such (official as in coming straight for Disney's/Squares mouths)
