Kingdom Hearts team not making the trip to E3
E3 2009 is just around the corner, and the hype for this year’s event is incredible! With new projects from Kojima Productions and Team ICO leading the race for showroom floor supremacy, all eyes were on Square-Enix to see what they might have up their sleeve.
Well, turns out, not much. Square-Enix have announced today that their Kingdom Hearts team will NOT be making the trip out to E3 this year. What does this mean? Well, no announcement regarding a Kingdom Hearts III, that’s for sure. At least not until TGS at the earliest, but knowing Square I’d expect Jump Festa 2010 would be the place to make an announcement like this. Those events take place traditionally in September and December, respectively.
So, Square fans, what can you look forward to? Well, although the KH team won’t be there, it doesn’t mean we won’t seen anything of 358/2 Days! I have a feeling we’ll hear something about the English localisation, with the possibility of a trailer and/or release date unveiled. I don’t, however, expect we will see much at all of Birth by Sleep.
As for other major Square things, well we’ll see a lot more of Final Fantasy XIII, but seeing as the KH team isn’t there, not a lot on Versus XIII. Perhaps a new trailer, but don’t expect that to reveal too much. Other than that, rumours have been running wild regarding a possible cross-over with Square and Suda 51′s Grasshopper Studios – although this is unlikely, seeing as Grasshopper are currently working on a new Wii title, at least one new DS title and a project with Hideo Kojima (Project S), it’d still be a very intriguing collaboration.
Expect more from E3 as it happens from June 2 onwards.

well those are not any good news but oh well its their decision
and yes first to comment on a page haha
but this page has a rather sad news :(
hahaha
I figured as much. All we kep doing is waiting. It’s getting too repetitive.
KH is one of those things where soo many things can go wrong in the making and creating in the game. Way too much time is taken between not only the main games, but the side quests as well. The only thing i can say is that when they do come out, the gameplay, story, and features are just amazing
I’m not gonna make an announcement about this officially, because at this point it’s just speculation – Square will apparently be revealing three brand new titles at E3, and two of them will be sequels to some of their “big franchises”.
The one which isn’t a sequel is “Nier”, a new action game. However, the sequels are anyone’s guess.
I highly doubt a KH3 announcement would happen without Nomura around, but stranger things have happened… I’m personally hoping for a new Chrono title though.
Hmm. That makes sense Golden. We’ll just have to sit tight and wait.
hope the swine flu isnt around when jump festa comes out but i think it will be in control by then.
I know this sounds crazy but there could be a kingdom Hearts 3 after all. Check this out. http://www.kh-vids.net/
Even if this might not be true, Im glad to see some rumours circulating. Right now I hope that KH3 will be one of those, Nomura shows up unexpected and announce BBS is soon to be finished and the development of KH3 has started.
Well well, you can always dream.
The next time I read a internet site, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this a single. I imply, I know it was my selection to read, but I in fact believed youd have something interesting to say. All I hear is often a bunch of whining about something which you could fix in the event you werent too busy searching for attention.
