Square Enix have announced that they will be hosting a dedicated conference at E3 2015. The conference, which starts at 10AM (USA PDT time) on Tuesday June 16, 2015 (the day that E3 2015 begins) will be available to see online, livestreamed on both YouTube and Twitch.
It is currently unknown if the Kingdom Hearts series will be featured at all, but with this being Square Enix's first dedicated E3 conference in many years, and with a Kingdom Hearts expansion to smartphones announcement teased for the near future (along with other mysterious announcements), there is a considerable chance that we may see something.

Praveen Dubey and Lakshya Digital have recently worked on a few major titles including Dark Souls 2 and Tekken 7.
Outsourcing is completely normal for Square Enix as their other new console titles have all been at least partly outsourced after they experienced development issues with Final Fantasy XIII. It's also a great change of pace after both Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX & Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX were fully developed by the Kingdom Hearts team only.
Thanks go to @Obsqura for the tip and NeoGAF user qualitydisc for the find.
You can view Praveen Dubey's listing of Kingdom Hearts III along with their skills and software they're proficient with on their resume below.
