World with new playable character confirmed for Kingdom Hearts III; future D23 Expo reveals undecided

Amongst the Kingdom Hearts III information revealed at the Kingdom Hearts 15th Anniversary Commemorative Campaign Preview Night held at Square Enix Café Osaka on October 13, 2017, there was also a discussion pertaining the worlds in the upcoming title and future reveals. Kingdom Hearts III development leads, such as series director Tetsuya Nomura and lead character modeler Mr. Yamasaki, answered related questions.
It was confirmed that a new playable character other than Sora will be present in Kingdom Hearts III. They said:
This follows a previous statement where Nomura hinted at the possibility of a second playable character.
When asked about the world selection criteria in Kingdom Hearts III, the staff in attendance answered:
When asked if they meet with Disney representatives abroad to discuss world selection, Yamasaki replied that he does so on a regular basis to share his point of view on the world, and that "each leader goes [abroad] as a delegate."
Lastly, the staff stated that while D23 Expo has been confirmed in the past to present new information on Kingdom Hearts III, it is undecided whether this will be the case for the event's upcoming 2018 installation.
Translations for this report have been provided by KH13 translators Mio-chan and Lady Aleister.
