New Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue trailer released announcing release date & Kingdom Hearts III winter announcements

On June 7th, the official Japanese Twitter account for Kingdom Hearts notified fans that a new E3 2016 trailer for Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue would release on June 8th at 21:00 JST (5:00am PDT, 8:00am EST). The trailer did in fact release, and you can view it below.

 

 

 

 

 

The trailer confirms the return of Willa Holland as Aqua's voice, and points to the game being in the stages of having voice acting done. In fact, it features English voices for the Foretellers, Ephemera, and the mysterious figure in the Organization XIII coat. Some gameplay features are also making a comeback, including treasure chests (as pointed out by KH13 community member Keyblade master 26) emphasized in the picture below, and Aqua's characteristic Spellweaver command style.

The end of the trailer also reveals that the release date of Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue will be worldwide in December of 2016! The trailer also promises Kingdom Hearts III announcements to come in winter of 2016.

 

Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue will also be playable at E3 2016, as announced on Square Enix's press website.

 

Do you think this will lead to a worldwide release of Kingdom Hearts III? Let us know in the comments!

Now that I think about it, if the Master of Masters is the black-coated guy (which he seems to be), he seems to have more malevolent motives in mind...

 

And why the hell does he remind me of Braig?

Oh so I'm not crazy... I bet he is Braig, or some form of him... oh man HYPE

WHEN YOU WALK AWAY YOU DON'T HEAR ME SAY

 

 

(side note, please tell me that thing at the end does not mean there is no KH3 coverage at E3).

Aqua be that bae material. Worldwide in winter for 2.8 huh?  that pretty much tells us kh3 will be too thank god. Lets hope they still give us kh3  at E3 like last year but shouldnt expect any big info.We need a clean kh3 trailer too hold us till winter come on sqaure! And lets hope they start puting out art and scans like with kh2 while we wait. 

(edited)

GREAT TRAILER!!!But... does this mean no KH3 news until winter? Meaning nothing at E3 or TGS?

 

You know I was thinking this too but they have surprised us before! Think about when we got the surprise announcement about KH3 there was no news or anything about it. So we might be surprised by Square and Sony (Maybe even Xbox)

Now I wonder who voices each new character in BackCover xD so eager... Funny how not 1 person is caring for 3D right now, even though it was a fun game xD 0.2 gives you more than the RoD to explore, and the gameplay looks like it's going to be a blast. BackCover has great voice acting, incredible graphics (the scene with the orginzation figure on the mountain, thumbs up) and the story looks very gripping. I laughed when I saw the players too xD DEC 2016 WORLDWIDE RELEASE HYPE COMMENCE KH3 NEWS IN WINTERRRR, POSSIBLY NEW WORLDS

I think I heard Travis Willingham when Aced/Ursus leader talked. Don't know about the rest.

DUDE!

 

DUDE!

 

That was an awesome trailer!

 

Aqua is so beautiful and what on Earth is Terra doing there?!

 

Ephemera is amazing! The CGI is very good.

 

And a worldwide release? Fantastic!

 

Now, I believe we will only see any new info about KHIII in this year Jump Festa... Let's wait then. I was already hoping to see something like that but who knows?! Maybe they will give us just a little glimpse of the third game in Square's conference...

I think I just busted my lungs. The wait was WORTH IT!!!!!!!

That trailer was incredible! As far as that note at the end goes...

 

I believe they put that there because they will only be focusing on 2.8 this year. So this way, we won't be disappointed that KH3 wasn't shown. I think they are learning to prepare us for when we should and shouldn't expect KH3 information haha

 

So overall, I don't think KH3 will appear at E3

That was beautiful everything about it was amazing still a bit confused as to why they don't she the HUD on the Dream Drop Distance portions but oh well.  And I'm pretty sure that bit with Terra in 0.2 is from Aquas memory or the worlds memory of when Aqua first showed up in Castle of Dreams.  Everything looks the same the stairs Terra is walking down if you remember in Birth by Sleep that's when he saw Aqua again so the world is probably just playing that memory again but for what reason we don't know.  And Back Cover oh my god I was not expecting to hear everyone's voice they are all amazing I love the Ursas voice and Unicorns voice as well my leader sounds fantastic but my favorite voice is the one in the black coat especially when he says "Nah not possible" hes such a smug son of a bitch.  Will we see what is under all of their mask at the end or not I'm excited.  And good god Back Cover just looks so beautiful in Unreal 4 just aaahhhhh December whyyyyy do you torture us so.

(*Note: There will be Spoilers-and a Fanboy Moment-ahead for those who have not seen the trailer. You've been warned.)

 

OMG! I just saw the new 2.8 trailer and let me just say that its totally not fake.* There was some more DDD HD gameplay, and a first look at Aqua's face in the new engine as well as actual gameplay of 0.2, in an area in the Realm of Darkness that looks most likely to be Radiant Garden. The command menu is the same as KH3's, but with English letters. We also got a look at the Information bar at the top left corner of the screen, as well as the HP bar. At the end of the 0.2 segment, we got a look at what appears to be the Castle of Dreams, with the final shot briefly showing Terra. The trailer then shifts to X Back Cover, with some more looks at the Foretellers and Emphemera, as well as a man in a Black Coat.

 

Please leave your thoughts and opinions on the trailer whether you've seen or not and if you haven't, then please check it out on YouTube.

I think it's been confirmed that 2.8 will be playable at E3 so we may get more footage soon.

 

I loved the trailer. It looks really good!

You'll be even more impressed to hear that it is not CGI, it is actually rendered in the KH3 engine.

Good trailer. Really looking forward to playing BBS 0.2! As for X Back Cover, I don't really know much about the story since I've never played the game, but this trailer surely increased my hype for it! Also, that guy in the black coat...I don't know if it's just me, but there is something familiar about him.

 

Too bad we won't get anything on KH3 until winter (which could be anytime from December through February).

Already hyped af. Aqua is kicking ass in the RoD, but her memories are going to be messed around with. It's going to be interesting to see her reactions to seeing such memories and how it all connects to the present point.

 

Ad for KHx backcover, this is going to be very interesting to see the downfall of the Unions and Daybreak Town. I feel like they're going to defeat each other simply due to different ideals and beliefs. The black coat character is most likely the one thay drives all this. I wonder if Ava does manage to convince her union members to leave before the Keyblade War begins. If they did leave, did leave anything that could be referenced back in KH 3? Hmm...

 

Also Ava sounds so familar, I can't put my finger on it.

The japanese E3 trailer is a bit different at 1:07. It seems like the "Attack!" thing in the KHIII D23 trailer isn't just for Shotlocks...

And why the hell does he remind me of Braig?

 

Kinda. At least, he has a "strange" personality. A bit too lax for someone with a master plan. I guess, we can, at least, now say that he is not Xehanort - not the real one.
