Old Kingdom Hearts III footage appears in Sony's E3 2015 intro

During Sony's E3 2015 press conference, Sony opened the show with a short montage of upcoming PS4 games. Among the games that were shown in the montage was none other than Kingdom Hearts III.
 
If nothing else, this means that Kingdom Hearts III is still alive and well, and it could mean that we have more Kingdom Hearts III news to look forward to in Square Enix's conference. Below is an image from the montage, which shows Sora gliding through the air as he is about to change into the new Kingdom Hearts III engine graphics from the announce trailer:

Square Enix Europe reuploads Kingdom Hearts III logo ahead of E3

Square Enix Europe has reuploaded the Kingdom Hearts III logo to their European press site, only days before E3 2015. Along with the Kingdom Hearts III logo, Square Enix also uploaded the Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below, Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward, Just Cause 3, and Life is Strange logos on June 12, 2015.
 



 
This is interesting because all of these games are already confirmed to appear at E3 2015 this week. It seems to hint that Kingdom Hearts III may make an appearance alongside them, especially considering Square Enix France's earlier hints at Kingdom Hearts III – although nothing is confirmed. Stay tuned for E3 2015, where we'll find out for sure.

Official Kingdom Hearts Facebook page posts fan survey

The official Kingdom Hearts Facebook page has posted a link to a fan survey asking multiple questions about player preferences. More specifically, the survey asks questions about which systems players own, which systems players still play games on, and which Kingdom Hearts games the survey taker has played. The message posted alongside the survey is as follows:
 
The survey also has open ended questions concerning the future of Kingdom Hearts. The survey asks players what they are looking forward to in future installments and if the player has anything else they would like developers to know.
 
The most interesting questions were those concerning the systems players own/still play and the question concerning localization. Perhaps these questions concern localization options for Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ and moving forward from the last generation of consoles.
You can take the survey here. The survey is available until June 12, 2015 at 11:45pm PDT. We encourage you to take the survey, seeing as it could help shape the future of Kingdom Hearts.
 
After completing the survey, how did you respond to their open ended questions? What are you most looking forward to in the future of Kingdom Hearts? Let us know in the comments below.
 
Update: The survey has concluded however Square Enix has promised more surveys in the future.

Posts by Square Enix France could hint toward news regarding Kingdom Hearts III

Over the past several days the official Square Enix France Facebook page have made several posts that use the official Kingdom Hearts III tag. One of the posts contains a picture of Sora, Donald, and Goofy in a earlier render from Kingdom Hearts III. The other post made by Square Enix France contains a launch trailer of Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX. You can read an unofficial translation of these posts along with screenshots of the original posts below.
 

 

 
Square Enix France last year teased international releases of Final Fantasy Type-0 and Final Fantasy Agito via Twitter which ended up being announced at E3 2014. With E3 coming up next month and the recent hints made by Square Enix France along with the hint that was made by Square Enix Germany, do you think something big within the Kingdom Hearts series will happen at E3?
