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.

The Square Enix European store has recently relisted its Kingdom Hearts merchandise that was formerly removed months ago. During that removal, the only Kingdom Hearts products available on the Square Enix European store were the standard physical releases of the games and limited editions.
Several items have now returned on the European storefront such as plushes, keychains, and select figures.
Unfortunately, the amount of Kingdom Hearts merchandise available on the Square Enix European store is far less than what is currently available on the North American store. Still, it is relieving to see this merchandise return, and hopefully, this signals more merchandise making its way to the European store in the near future.

Disney's Kingdom Hearts Perilous Pursuit is a game where players work together using a roll of dice to seal six worlds while trying to keep the Heartless from plunging worlds into Darkness.

There are a total of 14 world cards (double-sided) ranging in levels that you can try to seal. Some of the ones shown on the box art include Radiant Garden, Halloween Town, Space Paranoid, Kingdom of Corona, Twilight Town, Land of Dragons, and Deep Jungle.
Each box contains five player boards, 14 double-sided world cards, 30 items cards, 75 chip pieces, a world marker, six dice, and five trackers. You can check out photos of the box and the character/world cards in the gallery below.

In an unprecedented turn of events, Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX has received an 8-gigabyte patch on PC via the Epic Games Store. Unfortunately, the exact contents of this patch are unknown at the moment since there is a lack of given notes. Presumably, however, this patch should hopefully address the numerous issues with these ports of the titles.
There have been several reports from various fans concerning the PC ports of these games where they have questionable sound effect complications, crashing, and other faults. Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix and Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance HD are among the most problematic of these ports.
For now, we will simply have to wait and see what the community discovers from this considerably sized patch and whether Square Enix will officially comment on it.
UPDATE: On a post from Square Enix Support, it is stated that Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix has been updated to fix a bug and improve stability.
Additionally, the official Kingdom Hearts Twitter account has announced they aim to increase stability for all of the Kingdom Hearts titles on PC.
UPDATE: The size of the patch is reportedly 8 megabytes ordinarily, and is only 8 gigabytes if you have mods installed in your game.
