AU/NZ retailer MightyApe lists possible release date for Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8: December 6, 2016

After receiving news that Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue will release in December, 2016 worldwide, Mighty Ape, a verified New Zealand/Australia retailer, revealed a possible release date for Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, which is December 6th, 2016.
 
Normally, placeholder dates are December 30th/31st, and on the retailer site, placeholder dates say 'To be confirmed'. However, they have listed the release as December 6th, 2016, which is a Tuesday. Video games have a pre-set of releasing on Tuesdays, making the date more realistic. Aside from the release date, they also have listed a possible rating of 'PG - Parental guidance is recommended for younger viewers.' A rating for the title hadn't been announced officially beforehand, as the trailers say to check ESRB for a rating.
 
Even though the date hasn't been confirmed by Square Enix, the release date revealed by MightyApe very well could be real, with the evidence supporting the date.

Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue banner with new art spotted within LA Convention Center

Thanks to @Square_Portal on Twitter, we've got an image of a banner in the Los Angeles Convention Center featuring new Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue artwork.
 
You can find an image of the banner below.




 
This banner depicts what appears to be the same Aqua render used in the Mystery Medal Campaign that took place recently in the Japanese version of Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ as well as renders of Sora and Riku in Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance, the Foretellers in Kingdom Hearts Back Cover χ, and King Mickey.
 
The background also appears to be a reference to an item featured in the background of the Kingdom Hearts III trailer shown at E3 2015 shown during the chess game and conversation between Eraqus and Xehanort as young men. You can find an image of this item for reference below.
 



 
What do you think of this new artwork and the connection to the Kingdom Hearts III trailer? Let us know in the comments!

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!

New mystery medal to be released in Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ Japan on 6/9; New Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 trailer coming 6/8

Update: The mystery medal was in fact revealed to be a new render of Aqua in Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue by Dengeki! From 4:00 JST on June 9th until 3:59 JST on June 20th, all players will receive the new Aqua medal simply by logging into the Japanese version of Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ.







 
Additionally, from 7:00 JST on June 9th until 23:59 JST on June 19th, there will also be a special event board and having the Aqua medal in your deck will attract event coins and treasure chests to help you strengthen it rapidly.
 
The original article follows:
 
Just a week before E3, the official Japanese Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ Twitter account for the game launched a mystery medal campaign. With an image showing the silhouette of the new medal, the Twitter account announced that if their Tweet achieved 10,000 Retweets by June 7th, then they would unveil the new medal.
 
 
 



 
The Tweet reached 10,000 Retweets several hours after the Tweet was initially posted on 6/6 in Japan, and the account announced that the new medal will be released on 6/9 for Japanese players. It will be a part of the daily login bonus on 6/9.
 
Many are speculating that this could be the new look for Aqua in Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue. It just so happens that the official Japanese Twitter account for Kingdom Hearts tweeted that a new Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue trailer will release on 6/8 at 21:00 JST (8:00am EST, 5:00am PDT). The tweet promises that the trailer will reveal lots of new material, so look forward to it!
 
With a new trailer for Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue set to release the day before the medal is distributed, it is very likely to be a new render of Aqua from Kingdom Hearts 2.8.
 
What do you think the mystery medal could be? What are you looking forward to in the new trailer? Let us know in the comments below!

Kingdom Hearts χ[Chi] maintenance adds Agrabah story update

6/2 Maintenance Report



(aka changes to Chi which you may be interested in)


 




D'aww... aren't they cute!


 
We have a new event (shocking, I know). The Second Anniversary heartless have returned and it’s up to you to defeat them! As a notice, you don’t need to equip the Mog of Glory for the event item to drop. Up for grabs are BbS character cards (with a x2 boost until the 16th of June) and Aristocats armbands and headgear. Using the event draw will give you the chance to get these items. Each draw costs 500 Platinum Mog Points.
 
This is important, folks: there are three different draws. Normally, you’ll need to pay more to get a chance at better skills, but now what SE has done is divided up the draws into themes: Material, Avatar and Card, and Skill. A comprehensive list is here (and an English translation coming to you below) so please make sure to draw from the correct draw.
 
If there is a number in parentheses following the item, that is how many of the item will be given to you. If no number follows the item, either I made a mistake or you will only be getting one of the item.
Material Draw (Option #1):
 
 
Avatar and Card Draw (Option #2) – remember, once the avatar items have been claimed, they will no longer be able to be drawn.
 
 
Skills Draw (Option #3)
 
 
No ranking rewards for this event though, so it’s all on you. You’ll want to HP your assists for up to a 4x Platinum Mog Point Boost and HP your attack cards for a sweet 350% increase to your damage.
 
We have Agrabah’s climax and conclusion added in this update! You’re in for a treat with this boss fight. You can watch a playthrough of this storyline thanks to Everglow with translations provided by Kayla Copeland ([email protected]).
 




 
 
For those of you who want to clear the storyline, here’s a rundown of what you need to do to complete the latest story update:
 
 
 
Our Guilt increase has come back down to normal since the last event. Make sure to work hard during the first three days of this event collecting your guilt while under the “+2.”



Power users rejoice! (This may/may not include me). Not only is our boosted keyblade Treasure Trove, but also our reprinted Key Arts feature Power cards in the Revival Raise Draw. If you’re not a power user, be sure to take advantage of this and increase the power of your, well, power cards! (I recommend Key Art 24 and 28 both for the art and the guaranteed attached skill)



Additionally, the Kupo Nut Exchange has had its cards swapped out. Pick up some pretty cool Key Arts featuring Christmas outfit Roxas (recommended), the cover art to the first volume of the Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix manga (pretty cool), and you can see the rest above! Opening treasure chests from 6/2 until 6/16 nets you an increased Moogle encounter rate, so if you do want any of these cards, now’s the time to try and get them!
 
In our last bit of news, we have new items available for your purchasing in the shop. A snazzy new Kingdom and Premium box bring us Trident/Ariel avatars, a CoM Key Art (which looks great – attached skill is Attack EX) and more manga artwork featuring Sora, Kairi, Riku, Donald, and Goofy (with a gummi ship in the background!) for the assist card. There are some reprint avatars in the shop as well if you want to get them.
 
What do you think of the update? Happy that Agrabah is finished? Impatiently waiting for 3rd anniversary? Let us know~

Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue still set for 2016 release in North America, Europe, and Japan accrding to Square Enix's Results Briefing Session for Fiscal Year 2016

We are steadily approaching an official release date announcement for the awaited game, which includes Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance HD, the movie Kingdom Hearts χ Back Cover, and the short playable episode Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A Fragmentary Passage-.
