'Kingdom Hearts II: The Novel Volume 1' can be pre-ordered from the following links:

• Amazon
• RightStuf
• Book Depository
• Barnes & Noble

In other related news, the second volume of the aforementioned light novel has been confirmed to be released on December 12 (and can be pre-ordered on Amazon and Barnes & Noble).

On May 4th, it was announced that Square Enix will be hosting a panel at E3 2017 on either June 13th or June 14th, thanks to an article by Geoff Keighley. This panel will be open to the public and fans will apparently be allowed to ask questions (similar to other panels are various conventions, such as San Diego Comic Con).

When more information involving the panel is released, we'll be sure to let you know!

News has been pretty slow lately (and mostly merchandise) so it's nice to finally get some new even if it is small! On May 2nd, Game Informer released the cover of the June issue, which features many characters from popular RPGs including Mario, Pikachu, Cloud, and our very own Sora!

Sora can be found right next to Aloy from Horizon Zero Dawn with his signature Kingdom Key. With Sora being present on the cover, it should be safe to assume that Kingdom Hearts will be included in the list of Top 100 RPGs of All Time.

Special thanks to lovely sorariku on Tumblr for sharing this info (you da bomb, Chas).

Japanese retailer CaféReo has revealed an upcoming smartphone case based on 'Kingdom Hearts Union X[cross]', which you can check out below:
