KH-Vids | Your ultimate source for Kingdom Hearts media

Despite Square releasing a teaser for Kingdom Hearts III in the newest trailer for the Kingdom Hearts 2.5 collection, do not expect any more new information regarding the game at this year's E3. In an interview, Shinji Hasimoto had this to share about Kingdom Hearts III and it's presence at the expo:

If you all missed it, Square released a pre-E3 Kingdom Hearts II.5 HD Remix trailer a few hours ago. The nostalgia and emotion no doubt gripped us all as we saw some of our favorite scenes in their full HD glory, and I'm sure many of us would have been happy just with the December 2nd (NA) and December 5th (EU) release dates confirmed.

Square Enix decided to take an extra step and tease some information about the in-development Kingdom Hearts 3. Announced at E3 last year, we've had precious few updates on it since. Unsurprisingly, the teaser was short and rather cryptic, fitting for the Kingdom Hearts series. Let's take a look, shall we?

General warning: spoilers up to and including Dream Drop Distance are fair game for this post! We can of course only speculate on Kingdom Hearts 3, but if you're not quite up to date on the series & don't want to be, don't read ahead!

In addition to Kingdom Hearts 2.5 HD ReMix being released this October in Japan, a 256 page Ultimania covering the entire series will be released as well, covering the story of the series so far in preparation for KH3. In addition, the Ultimania features new artwork as well as some info from the development team.

Kingdom Hearts Series Memorial Ultimania as well as Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMix will both be released in Japan on October 2nd.

Update
