Square Enix Germany is teasing something Kingdom Hearts χ[chi] related

Square Enix Germany's official Facebook page is teasing something Kingdom Hearts χ[chi] related. Square Enix North America released the Tokyo Game Show 2013 trailer to press but this is the first time Square Enix has posted something Kingdom Hearts χ[chi] related outside of Japan to the public.
 
Square Enix Europe is known for teasing stuff this time of year, last year Square Enix France teased international releases for Final Fantasy Agito and Final Fantasy Type-0.
 
E3 2015 is only a month away and Square Enix is holding a press conference, could we see an international release of Kingdom Hearts χ[chi]? We speculate they might port it to iOS & Android.
 
Update 2: Interestingly, the Kingdom Hearts χ[chi] teaser by Square Enix Germany is using a screenshot we took for an article last week. You can view the screenshot here.
 
Update: Square Enix Germany has since removed the post but you can still view it below.

Kingdom Hearts II music to be performed at The Game Symphony Japan 10th concert

Music from Kingdom Hearts II will be performed at The Game Symphony Japan 10th concert which will take place on June 7, 2015 at The Symphony Hall in Osaka, Japan. The music will be performed by the Game Symphony Japan, professional musicians that are known for their orchestrated renditions of popular video game music. They also have had the privilege to work with names like Yoko Shimomura, composer of the Kingdom Hearts series and Nobuo Uematsu, the original composer of the Final Fantasy series.
 
While this concert is focusing on a game in Final Fantasy VII that played a huge role in eventually creating the Kingdom Hearts series it will feature some Kingdom Hearts II songs including Dearly Beloved and Scherzo Di Notte. It will also feature music from another title composed by Yoko Shimomura, an old Square hit called Live A Live on the Super Famicom.
 
Thanks go to Siliconera for the tip.
 
More information regarding this concert can be found on the concert's official website.

Square Enix to participate in PC Gaming Show at E3 2015

AMD, the second-largest global supplier of microprocessors will be presenting a PC Gaming Show at E3 2015 on Tuesday, June 16th between 5PM and 8PM at the Belasco Theater in Los Angeles, California.
 
The official website for this show has confirmed Square Enix as a participant. While this is more likely focused on Square Enix's large catalogue of AAA western titles such as Rise of the Tomb Raider, Just Cause 3, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and Hitman 6 coming out in the next year or so, there is a chance it could feature titles from Square Enix's Japanese studios as Square Enix has been very active in porting Final Fantasy titles to Windows PC/Steam in the past year ranging from blockbuster titles like Final Fantasy XIII to mobile titles like Final Fantasy IV. There is a good chance Kingdom Hearts III will at some stage be released on Windows PC/Steam maybe even Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 & 2.5 ReMIX.

Square Enix is hosting a dedicated conference at E3 2015

UPDATE: Square Enix have decided to move the timing of their E3 conference by one hour. They will now be presenting at 10:00am USA PDT on June 16, 2015 (note that the day of their conference is unchanged). It is speculated that the change was made after Nintendo's announcement that they will be presenting at the same time.
 
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.

Before Kingdom Hearts III he worked on worked on KIXEYE's War Commander as a Senior AI Engineer between July 2013 and August 2014.

Some Kingdom Hearts III character modelling & texturing will be done by Praveen Dubey in India

An India-based artist named Praveen Dubey has listed Character Modelling & Texturing for Kingdom Hearts III on their resume. Praveen Dubey works for Lakshya Digital, an India-based company that specializes in outsourced asset development. It is likely, Lakshya Digital has been contracted by Square Enix to develop some assets for Kingdom Hearts III.
 
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.
