Square Enix Holdings have released their Financial Briefing Report for Fiscal Year 2017, which began on April 1st, 2016 and ended on March 31st 2017. Kingdom Hearts III is listed as "To Be Announced" under the "FY 2018 and Beyond" column on the Digital Entertainment-HD Games section of the report, along with the Final Fantasy VII Remake and a currently unnamed Marvel IP Project.
 
The slide was previously used in the U.K. Road Show report back in February.
 



On May 8, 2017, Twitter user José Álamo (@Jose_Strife), a reporter for the website Koi-nya, claimed to have apparent leaked information coming straight from the development team of Kingdom Hearts III (the Osaka Team). The information he provided, in a series of tweets, has been translated as follows.
 
Please keep in mind that these are unconfirmed and lack solid evidence, and have therefore been classified as rumors until proven otherwise.
 
 
He also added:
 
 
Today, he tweeted some clarifications in English due to some people being confused by his statements because of mistranslations.
 
 
KH13.com has contacted José Álamo for further clarifications.
 
José Álamo’s rumors on Kingdom Hearts III go way back to January 30, 2017, where he stated the following:
 
 
He added: “Obviously, this perfectionism from Nomura assures certain quality standards and the finished parts from the game look really good. In that sense we shouldn’t be worried. Slow, but safe.”
 
On March 16, 2017, Álamo also talked about a cancelled presentation for Kingdom Hearts III, (which has also been classified as a rumor):
 
 
José Álamo is known for having leaked a few things in the past, such as the reveal for The Last of Us Part II a week before its official announcement at PlayStation Experience 2016, and a new Fire Emblem game releasing for Nintendo Switch before the end of 2018.
He also has some other unconfirmed rumors, such as a Pokémon announcement being delayed, a new Assassin’s Creed game announcement coming up on the week of May 15, 2017, a new Animal Crossing and a new Metroid (Prime-style) games coming to the Switch before the end of 2018, and Square Enix internally discussing The World Ends With You IP.
 
It is also worth noting that in June 2016, there were some leaks in 4chan about the plot and overall game of Final Fantasy XV. Álamo stated that an inside source of his had confirmed that all those leaks were fake, but when the game released, all of those leaks turned out to be true.
 
With all this in mind, we advise our readers to take what they just read with a grain of salt, as they are all rumors at this point in time that could eventually be proven wrong.

Game Informer will feature a Top 100 RPGs of All Time list in the June 2017 issue. The cover for the issue has been revealed showing the major characters in many of the RPG-style games. Among these characters is Sora, wearing his Kingdom Hearts III attire, near the top of the front cover, just below the Game Informer title.

This year's Hall of Fame hosted by Classic FM has come to a close and the results from the polls are in. Kingdom Hearts, including "The Other Promise" composed by Yoko Shimomura, has ranked #119 out of 300 this year. This is still impressive for the Kingdom Hearts series, though its ranking is significantly lower than it had been in previous years. In Hall of Fame 2016 Kingdom Hearts ranked no. 31, while in 2015 the series ranked no. 30.
 
Other musical compositions that have been showcased in the Kingdom Hearts series have also made it into the top 300 list for Hall of Fame 2017, including the following:

"A Night on the Bare Mountain" ranked at no. 269
"Pirates of the Carribean: Curse of the Black Pearl" ranked at no. 206
"Final Fantasy Series (including One-Winged Angel)" ranked at no. 49
"Nutcracker" ranked at no. 34
"Symphony no. 6 in F Major Op.68 (Pastoral)" ranked at no. 7

Congratulations are in order to Yoko Shimomura and her success in making Classic FM's Hall of Fame list once more! May she have continued success in the Kingdom Hearts franchise and the entirety of her musical career.
