[UPDATED] Kingdom Hearts III Critical Mode will be released tomorrow as a free update in Update 1.04; Update 1.05 available shortly after

It has just been announced by the official Kingdom Hearts Facebook and Twitter accounts that Kingdom Hearts III's Critical Mode will be released tomorrow, April 23rd, as a free update! 
Tetsuya Nomura's message is as follows:
In the official Japanese Twitter for the game series, Nomura specifies that the update will be released on April 24th in Japan (JST). You can read the translation by Goldpanner below.
UPDATE [Apr 23, 2019]: The Square Enix website has been updated with technical information concerning two upcoming Kingdom Hearts III updates, Update 1.04 and 1.05, and has stated the time of release as 11 AM JST on April 24th (7PM PST on April 23rd), although it seems that 1.05 will be downloadable at a slightly later time. Update 1.04 will contain the Critical Mode updates and some more changes as detailed below; Update 1.05 will implement changes such as carrying over Keyblade from previous game clear data on starting a new game, and increasing the Gummiphone's photo capacity to 200. Read the details below for more information.
The Critical Mode is the hardest difficulty for Kingdom Hearts games offered to only a select number of games in the series. This difficulty for Kingdom Hearts III was first announced by co-director Tai Yasue at the 2019 Game Developers Conference last month.
Yasue stated that Critical Mode in Kingdom Hearts III would be more than just a value change, referring to the HP, MP, and damage output of Sora, his allies, and the game's various enemies. He also said that Critical Mode is "more technical and offensive," and will be geared toward those who are "good at action games" and at "timing their attacks". He stated that the skill required will change the way that players will play the game.
UPDATE [Apr 23, 2019]: According to the website Automaton Media's sources, Critical Mode will include halved HP and MP values, reduced Situation Command and Grand Magic frequency, and new Critical Mode-exclusive abilities. In addition, more abilities will be available at the start of the game, and players with a completed save file will be able to carry existing items and Keyblade upgrades into a new save file, in a fashion similar to a "New Game Plus" feature.
UPDATE [Apr 23, 2019]: Square Enix have confirmed that Update 1.04 will release in the West at the same time as in Japan! It will release on April 23 AT 7 PM PT/10 PM ET, and on April 24 at 2 AM UTC.
The Critical Mode was recently featured in a 13 minute video on the official Square Enix Japanese YouTube channel. Check it out below.

Youtuber 13th Vessel explores Scala Ad Caelum (out of bounds)

The Youtube channel 13th Vessel has uploaded an interesting YouTube video named “KINGDOM HEARTS III - Exploring Scala Ad Caelum [Out of Bounds]” where they freely explore Scala Ad Caelum. In this video, they take Sora all across Scala Ad Caelum, to areas entirely hidden to the player during Kingdom Hearts III. We get to see typically unseen locations that are between and behind the buildings. This is the first instance in which we can see the full scope of Scala Ad Caelum and how much was created for this area of Kingdom Hearts III. This video is quite beautiful and insightful for any Kingdom Hearts fan.
13th Vessel is skilled in hacking, glitching and modding the Kingdom Hearts games, and has a range of interesting videos on this topic, as well as many other Kingdom Hearts related videos. You can watch the video below.
There is also a glitch tutorial video regarding Scala ad Caelum. You can watch that below.

New world featuring Wreck-It Ralph is coming to Kingdom Hearts Union χ[Cross]

Today's new Kingdom Hearts Union X story update added new quests featuring a whole new world, which brings the player to the Game Central Station from Wreck-it Ralph. The announcement of a new world goes back to Tetsuya Nomura's first tease of a world that both had not appeared in the series yet and whose character appears as summon in Kingdom Hearts III. Although the story update is actually available on Japanese server only, it is expected that it will reach North American and European servers soon.

Tai Yasue comments on Kingdom Hearts III's development and reception, and gives new details on Critical Mode

In an interview with GameReactor during the 2019 Game Developers Conference, Kingdom Hearts series co-director Tai Yasue took the opportunity to speak about the development of Kingdom Hearts III, while also touching upon the team's plan for the future. Yasue mentioned that one of the primary goals during development was to understand and learn what players wanted out of Kingdom Hearts III.
On the game's upcoming Critical Mode, Yasue said that the development team wanted to "do it the right way," instead of solely altering HP and damage values. They decided to implement new abilities that will resonate with a more technical playstyle, and also focused on making players think about their actions both inside and outside of battle. In addition, Critical Mode will feature AI adjustments to prevent it from feeling unfair, but it will still push players to their limits and encourage them to utilize the game's full array of options, such as cooking meals to gain stat benefits.
Yasue stated that the team is very happy with the warm and positive response that Kingdom Hearts III has received from both fans and critics, especially since the team was very worried about how fans would react. He said that they really focused on exceeding fans' expectations and wanted to do as much as they could. While other games end up cutting various elements due to cost or time constraints, Yasue feels confident that the team was able to accomplish everything that they wanted to implement. He thanked the fans for their encouragement throughout the development process.
