Kingdom Hearts Dark Road offline version update delayed

The official Japanese Twitter account for Kingdom Hearts Dark Road has announced that the title's planned late September update containing the offline version and the rest of the story content has been delayed. Unfortunately, the tweet does not specify an exact date or timeframe for when to expect this update and instead states that more details will be provided at a later time.
Our team's Ryuji translated the message to the following:
"We regretfully announce that the update of the Kingdom Hearts: Dark Road offline version Ver. 5.0.0, which was scheduled to be released in late September, has been postponed. Further information will be provided at a later date, so we ask players to wait for a while until then. We apologize for the inconvenience."
UPDATE: It was noted that indefinite was an erroneous choice of wording from our translation. We removed it to better reflect the intended meaning of the message and avoid any misconstrued conclusions. Apologies.
UPDATE: The NA account for Kingdom Hearts Dark Road have tweeted the delay message.

Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 and 2.8's PC ports on the Epic Games Store have been patched with various fixes and improved stability

The official Kingdom Hearts Twitter account has announced that the PC ports of Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 and Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue have been patched with numerous fixes to reported issues. The team also stated that they will continue listening to feedback regarding the ports of these titles.
The patch notes for Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5, as noted on Square Enix Japan's Support website, are listed below:
Version 1.0.0.8 Patch Update Fixed a bug that caused the game to crash when a video recording or streaming app (likely primarily referring to Stream Labs OBS) was used. Fixed a problem where the sound volume would revert back to the default settings when skipping events in Kingdom Hearts Final Mix. Fixed a bug in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix where if a character takes damage during a specific action in Hollow Bastion, the character would not be controlled unless if they were attacked again. Fixed a bug in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix where the volume of the sound effects would increase if a magic attack was performed multiple times in quick succession. Fixed a bug in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix where the game would crash if the controller was disconnected while playing the mini-game "Rumble Racing." The patch notes for Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, as noted on Square Enix Japan Support's website, are listed below:
Version 1.0.0.5 Patch Update Fixed a bug that caused the game to crash when a video recording or streaming app (likely primarily referring to Stream Labs OBS) was used.  Fixed a bug in Dream Drop Distance HD where the Nightmares in Chernabog's fight would not disappear as they should. Thanks to our team's Ryuji for translating these patch notes.
If you missed it, Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5's PC port received a patch earlier this Summer, making these patches the second, albeit firstly conjoined effort to make the PC ports as qualitative as possible.
Are you thrilled by these updates, and if you have not purchased these ports yet, are these fixes encouraging you to do so? Let us know in the comments below!

Kingdom Hearts Gets Parodied in Robot Chicken; We Don't Know Why Either

Well, I don't think any of us at KH13 ever expected to report on this, but here we go. The American adult animated comedy series Robot Chicken recently had an immense Kingdom Hearts cameo, though it goes a bit beyond that. 
Robot Chicken is most well known for how it parodies several franchises in lengthy comedic sequences, and Kingdom Hearts was recently subjected to this in Season 11, Episode 8.
Discussing the intricacies of this parody would be too much due to how adult-oriented its humor is, but you can view the clip on Twitter thanks to user bennybotros.
What do you think of this bizarre parody? Let us know in the comments below!
