| As you may have read, I've created coloring sheets to promote local launch events for ''Dream Drop Distance''. We suggest printing out at least six or so of each coloring sheet and head to your local game store. Ask permission first, so you can hand out these in the store. A trivia sheet will also be available if you'd like to help run a trivia contest at your local store, and you can talk to the store staff about if it would be okay to hand out prizes (please use your own KH supplies for this). Enjoy your copies of ''Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance''!

| With the recent flurry of news for the North American, European ''and'' Australian releases of ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'', Dream Eaters have been named and new pictures have been released! Wandanyan has become the Meow Wow, personally I would have preferred Wonder Meow but you deal with what you have... since you can rename Dream Eaters, that's what I'll be doing. Chaos Snake makes a return as a Link Attack and the [[Pricklemane]]'s special attack is called "Hammer Throw". Release dates have also been out from a long time ago:

| It's been a long while since the last post, but so far we have seen what has come to us from the Jump Festa trailer which can be seen on the [http://www.square-enix.co.jp/kingdom/3d/ official website]. New worlds such as [[Country of the Musketeers]] and [[Prankster's Paradise]] have been announced among others. A Tron: Legacy World that is yet to be named shows Rinzler about to battle Sora and a mantis Dream Eater that Riku battles. They also get an entire new wardrobe from the early [[Sora (Space Paranoids version)|Data Form]] with the much more modern style of the movie. Along with this information, more members of Tetsuya Nomura's other game, The World Ends with You, appear in this entry of the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series, [[Shiki]], [[Beat]] and [[Joshua]] appear among others. More information from the V Jump magazine of January shows yet another world, [[Symphony of Sorcery]] which is a world entirely based off Fantasia, and is the first time we see [[Chernabog]] since ''Kingdom Hearts'', it also features [[Mickey Mouse]] as a sorcerer wearing [[Yen Sid]]'s hat.
| | '''January 23, 2020''' - ''[[Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind]]'' released in all regions. On the same day, a new game was announced for iOS, Android, and Fire OS, with the working title ''[[Project Xehanort]]''. A Twitter campaign was held for people to guess the correct name, revealed as ''[[Kingdom Hearts Dark Road]]'' on January 31, 2020. |
|
| |
|
| In merchandise, there is a brand new bundle for the series's 10th anniversary featuring [[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]], [[Kingdom Hearts Re:coded]], [[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]], 12 Postcards representing the history of the series visually, a protective case for the 3DS and the box with a special 10th anniversary design, you can check it out [[Kingdom Hearts 10th Anniversary Box|here]]. Along with this there is also a special limited edition, Japanese 3DS available to buy with the game pictured below. And finally, a [[Wandanyan]] plushie is also up for sale at Square Enix's e-store, it costs ¥3,800.
| | '''June 24, 2019''' - The Japanese version of ''[[Kingdom Hearts VR Experience]]'' was updated with four additional levels, releasing globally the following day. |

| Following the highly anticipated Tokyo Game Show 2011, a ton of new information and images have surfaced regarding ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]''. As always, a closed-theater trailer was shown, this time featuring [[Sora]] in [[Traverse Town]]. As in previous games, [[Donald Duck]] and [[Goofy]] are assisting him as party members. The camera apparently has not seen a tremendous amount of improvement since ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', and the "DROP" gauge from previous trailers has also disappeared. Traverse Town has also been reportedly fleshed out, expanding far beyond just the three districts. Importantly, however, the game is focused on the mysterious "world buried in sleep", as well as the [[Mark of Mastery]] exam for Sora and Riku. The trailer ends with a scene featuring [[Xehanort]] and [[Braig]], suggesting the game's connections to ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''.
| | '''April 29, 2019''' - The first issue of the ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts III|manga}}'' manga series released. |
|
| |
|
| A playable demo was featured as well, showing Riku interacting with Quasimoto from the world based on ''The Hunchback of Notre Dame''. In this demo, we discover Riku's new double-jump ability. Those who have played the demo say that the combat has improved immensely from ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', focusing less on animation-focused commands and more on fluid, smooth battling. Both Sora and Riku have access to something similar to the [[D-Link]] as well: the ''Dual Link'', which grants different abilities and bonuses based on the party member.
| | '''April 27, 2019''' - The ''[[Kingdom Hearts Orchestra -World of Tres-]]'' began its concert run, including a wide array of songs from across the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series. |
|
| |
|
| The game has also been confirmed to have slide pad compatibility, meaning that it will take use of the slide pad add-on to the Nintendo 3DS, which itself utilizes a second analog stick.
| | '''March 28, 2019''' - The first ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|novels|Kingdom Hearts III}}'' novel was published in Japan, with an English release coming out in February 2020. |
|
| |
|
| The game carries over a motif in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series: Sora searching for a friend, this time Riku. Instead, however, Sora finds [[Neku]], the protagonist from ''The World Ends With You'', another game series created by Square Enix, now incorporating a third franchise into ''Kingdom Hearts''. Neku makes a reference to the "Reapers' Game" from his original game, saying he has only forty-three minutes to live unless if he wins this mysterious game. Sora and Riku also are donning new clothes; Sora's shirt has gone to black, whereas Riku is wearing a very light off-white shirt. Riku's hair has also gotten much shorter since the end of ''Kingdom Hearts II''. These can be seen in the poster in the gallery below.
| | '''January 25, 2019''' - ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'' was finally released in Japan! The international version would follow four days later. Also on January 25, the ''Kingdom Hearts χ'' novel was published in Japan, titled ''Kingdom Hearts χ: The Story of You and the Keyblade'', with an English translation coming in December 2019. |
|
| |
|
| A new enemy has also been introduced in ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'': [[Dream Eater]]s. Dream Eaters are new original entities who, just as their name suggests... eat your dreams! This is especially significant in a "world buried in sleep." Two bosses are already known to exist in the game that appeared at the end of the demos for Sora and Riku: a "boxy" enemy with long arms that function as stretchable weapons and a winged flying boss, respectively. There are not the only new creatures, however! Sora is accompanied by two creatures bearing the new crossed heart symbol in this game: a plump blue dog-like creature and an as-of-yet unseen "squirrel-y" creature. Riku is also accompanied by two of these beings: an eccentric, colorful bat and as-of-yet unseen unicorn.
| | '''January 23, 2019''' - ''[[Kingdom Hearts VR Experience]]'' was released in Japan, coming to North America on February 28, 2019. |

| More news has been released regarding ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'', as well as a tidbit about HD development on ''Kingdom Hearts''. Nomura has stated that he will be doing an "HD test" of a ''Kingdom Hearts'' title, whether already released or unknown, before the series's tenth anniversary next year.
| | *January 12/24 (Japan/NA, respectively): ''[[Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue]]'' is released! Although some say Nomura is still stalling for ''Kingdom Hearts III'' with yet another HD remake, at least this collection gives us new material! Ever wonder what Aqua did during the time post-''Birth by Sleep'' and pre-''Kingdom Hearts''? This collection is for you! Ever wonder just who/how the Foretellers came to be? (And what of their mysterious [[Master of Masters|Master]]?) This collection is for you! Ever want to revisit the realm of ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'' on a big, flat screen TV instead of the small 3DS screen? This collection is for you! |
|
| |
|
| In addition, ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'' will have a playable demo at Tokyo Game Show 2011, so look out for videos of gameplay and such in the coming month of September.
| | *March 10: Starting on this day in Japan is the premiere of the "''Kingdom Hearts'' World Orchestra Tour!" This short tour features the music of ''Kingdom Hearts'', encompassing many themes and pieces fans are sure to recognize. If you haven't listened to the album yet, you are sorely missing out! Many of our favorite themes have been smashed into longer multi-movement works that hit on most of the largest characters and events in the series. While some pieces have been merely re-arranged, such as "The Other Promise," some pieces are given their first orchestral cover- Aqua's Theme, the Vanitas battle theme, and so on. |

| | *March 28: Perhaps the biggest announcement to appear on this update is the '''15TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE KINGDOM HEARTS SERIES!!!!!!''' That's right, folks! For fifteen blessed years we have been graced with a time-traveling story of a bunch of people running around with Disney/Final Fantasy characters and [[Keyblade|keys]]. To celebrate the occasion, a port of ''Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 & 2.5 ReMIX'' have been released for the PlayStation 4! So, what has been your fondest memory of the series thus far? Favorite character? Be sure to let us know over in the [[Forum:Twilight Town Library|forums]]! As if this day couldn't get any better, the final volume of the YenPress release of the [[Kingdom Hearts II (manga)|''Kingdom Hearts II'' manga]] is set! While the front cover art was leaked today, the actual volume won't be released until later this year on May 23rd. |

| The ''Kingdom Hearts'' news drought seems to be showing signs of ending, at least to some degree. ''Kingdom Hearts'' fan translators have recently finished translating an interview in the weekly Japanese magazine, ''Famitsu'', with ''Kingdom Hearts'' series creator and director, Tetsuya Nomura, concerning ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]''. The bulleted information below has been collected from the scans, and the paragraphs below summarize the interview.
| | *March 23/April 6 (Japan/NA, respectively): ''Kingdom Hearts Union χ[Cross]'' is released! Picking up where '' Kingdom Hearts χ'' left off, explore what happens to the Player after surviving the Keyblade War. Although a recent release, the story is already twisting and turning ala Nomura-''Kingdom Hearts'' fashion, leaving us with many questions and speculation. |
| <b>
| |
| *''Kingdom Hearts 3D'' is a mysterious title.
| |
| *There will be a secret movie.
| |
| *The [[Xehanort]] Saga will end with ''Kingdom Hearts III''.
| |
| *Think of ''Kingdom Hearts 3D'' as "The Initiative" before ''Kingdom Hearts III''.
| |
| *There will be "answers" about ''Kingdom Hearts III'' in ''Kingdom Hearts 3D''.
| |
| *''Kingdom Hearts 3D ''is 40-50% done.
| |
| *[[Sora]] "has not changed."
| |
| *The game will focus on the "hidden data" inside of Sora.
| |
| *There are characters that will appear in [[Traverse Town]], but their names have been censored. There are two censored names.</b>
| |
|
| |
|
| The series director has stated that Disney has said that game has a "Japanese feel" in its storyline. While he did consider simplifying the storyline, he was encouraged to keep the complex storyline to compete with other franchises, such as ''Final Fantasy''. Like its basic plot, the game apparently will be designed in a manner that keeps the player thinking and guessing. | | *April 1: Grab some sea-salt ice cream and some of your Wiki-friends and find the closest [[Twilight Town|clock tower]]!

|
| The game is about 40-50% complete, and the developing team is currently working on the scenarios in the Disney worlds, which Tetsuya Nomura was somewhat concerned for in being clear enough to understand. He also states that several individual mysteries, both from past games and ''Kingdom Hearts 3D'', will be clarified in the game. The next item on the development agenda is to start recording voices.
| | *May 2: Being the music lover that I am- I mean seriously, that's what my university degree is in- it is exciting to see [[The Other Promise]] featured on [http://www.classicfm.com/ Classicfm]'s top 300 songs of the year! Placing at number 119, it is very exciting and awesome to see not only Yoko Shimomura, but also video game music to get the respect/publicity they deserve. Although not as high placing as previous years, The Other Promise still managed to "beat" many standard repertoire in the music world. |
|
| |
|
| Tetsuya Nomura also described a desire to make sure the game is not too drawn out in length and pacing. He plans to introduce a new system to make sure that the pacing is not weakened with lengthy explanations. Finally, he says that Sora fights alongside strange companions in ''Kingdom Hearts 3D'', perhaps suggesting new allies, and that a secret movie is being developed.
| | *May 2 and 3: ''Kingdom Hearts II'' is featured in both IGN and Game Informer Magazine's "Top 100 RPGs of All Time!" The game placed 86th on IGN, and 25th for Game Informer. If you look closely at the [http://kh13.com/forum/gallery/image/46662-front-page/ cover] of the June issue of Game Informer, you can make out a small Keyblade-wielding Sora in the center. |

As seen [http://www.hd.square-enix.com/eng/news/pdf/17q4slides.pdf here], ''Kingdom Hearts III'' is pushed to the back burner, with a potential release date in 2018...or later. Back to the waiting game for fans, it seems. Hope no one lost too much [[munny]] on betting when it would come out this year. Perhaps more information (and trailers!) will be revealed at this year's E3? |

| Following an emergency roundtable on the IRC, the ''Kingdom Hearts'' Wiki has completely revised the way it does affiliations and affiliation requests. From this point forward, interested sites, wikis, channels, etc. should not approach the wiki by contacting one of its major administrators. Instead, we now have a new '''[[KHWiki:Affiliates/Requests|Requests for Affiliation]]''' page, where formal requests to become affiliated with the ''Kingdom Hearts'' Wiki shall be made. This helps us keep track of our affiliation requests, as well as standardizes the procedure.
| | *Did you ever want to high-five or write Tetsuya Nomura a note? Want to thank him for all that he has done/yet to do? Or would you just like to say hello? If so, you're in luck! Check out [[KHWiki:Photobook]] for more details. Don't miss out on an opportunity like this! |
|
| |
|
| Be sure to keep spreading the word of the new independent ''Kingdom Hearts'' Wiki out to interested sites, wikis, and channels! We look forward to gaining more affiliates. In fact, several potential affiliates were discussed during this emergency roundtable. More information on these will be announced at a later date.
| | ...and that about covers some of the major highlights so far this year. We will try harder to be more on top of updating this. As always, be sure to keep track of the latest ''Kingdom Hearts'' news by checking out our friends at [http://kh13.com/ kh13.com] and [https://www.khinsider.com/ Kingdom Hearts Insider]! |

| Today is a momentous day for our [[KHWiki:Affiliates|Affiliates list]]. The ''Kingdom Hearts'' Wiki has just partnered with the [http://niwanetwork.org/ Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance (NIWA)]. NIWA is a collection of Nintendo-covering wikis that are all independently hosted, much like the ''Kingdom Hearts'' Wiki. NIWA's wikis and principles stand against faceless operators and the control of a wiki by those who do not truly monitor and lead it. NIWA spans over twenty wikis and continues to grow as the largest independent wiki alliance. Furthermore, while the Square Enix Independent Wiki Alliance (SEIWA) is being constructed under similar principles, we are very proud to be affiliated with NIWA.

| Sadly, the new information regarding ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'' we were promised by GameInformer magazine was proven to be false at the end of E3. While the trailer from several months ago was shown at the gamers' meet, no new information, screenshots, or footage was released. Hopefully we can expect new information to be released at the Tokyo Game Show 2011 in September. Until then, the news drought scorches on....

The ''Popular Gaming'' magazine officially confirmed that the game will be featured at E3 2011. While it is still unknown just what will be shown or presented at E3 concerning the game, we will hopefully receive new information on this upcoming and mysterious chapter in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series. E3 2011 will begin on June 8<sup>th</sup>, 2011, so there's not much longer to wait! All released information will be reported in the Trinity Archives as soon as they are released, so be sure to check back here after E3!

My apologies for the slowness of news; the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series is at a bit of a slow point in its history between the releases of ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:coded]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D]]'', but hopefully news will begin to surface regularly again soon. I'd also like to announce that, after this period of slow news begins to lift, the Trinity Archives will begin to take an approach to not only cover news regarding the wiki, but also news regarding the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series in a greater depth than before. Be sure to check back often for news updates!

| More importantly, voting for possible logos to represent the Square Enix Independent Wiki Alliance has been opened, so be sure to give us your votes or original logo submissions! For those who do not know of it, "SEIWA" is a planned alliance between multiple independent wikis, such as the new independent ''Kingdom Hearts'' Wiki, that is currently in the developing stages. As we get closer to finishing our post-Wikia audit, more news about the creation and growth of SEIWA will be released. We are very excited to pioneer such a huge project, so please give us your support and spread the word!

| |
| | |
| However, just a week after the game was released in North America, the rumored ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix]]'' has indeed been confirmed! The game is known to feature all of the formerly exclusive contents of the North American port of the game, as well as several new features, such as [[Master Eraqus]] in his [[Keyblade Armor|armored]] form and a new secret movie! The game is slated to be released at the beginning of 2011. Be sure to keep up with the ''Kingdom Hearts'' Wiki's article on the game for all the updates!

| Several forums and discussions are taking place across the wiki regarding ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix'', particularly in the [[Forum:Twilight Town Library|Twilight Town Library]].

| With the coming of E3 came announcements of new titles and demos for many video game series, including ''Kingdom Hearts''! Tetsuya Nomura and the Square-Enix booth announced the production of ''[[Kingdom Hearts Re:coded]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D]]'', as well as gameplay and an English trailer for ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''! ''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded'' is a remake of ''[[Kingdom Hearts coded]]'', but ported to the Nintendo DS! It also is set to include new features, such as multiplayer gameplay, the [[Deck Command (KHBBS)|Deck Command]] system, and a new secret movie! ''Kingdom Hearts 3D'' is a game set to be released on the soon to be released Nintendo DS 3D, capable of three-dimensional gaming! While the placement of ''Kingdom Hearts 3D'' in the ''Kingdom Hearts'' timeline is very questionable and debatable, it is known that it is being developed by the same team of experts that produced ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', and that we will have the chance to not only play as [[Sora]], but [[Riku]] as well!
| |
| | |
| | |
| Also at E3 were demos of the North American version of ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', along with the newly released English trailer! New English screenshots are also going to start pouring in to the wiki immediately, so keep your eyes out! Also, seen in the new trailer is the new boss that has been promised: [[Young Xehanort|another Xemnas-like Unknown]]! Just a reminder, the North American version of ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' is set to have new features included that were not present in the Japanese version, such as new Keyblades, new abilities, and Critical Mode.

Eddie Carroll has been the voice actor for the lovable [[Jiminy Cricket]], both in ''Walt Disney'' films and in all of his appearances throughout the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series. He has been Jiminy Cricket's voice actor for over thirty years, having provided his voice in three ''Walt Disney'' films.

| In a recent interview, series director Tetsuya Nomura has stated that there will be three new Kingdom Hearts games in the near future. Two of these will be spin-offs to the main series, and the third will be the long awaited ''Kingdom Hearts III''! That's right, all of you fan-fiction-creating fans, it has finally been announced! Even better, Tetsuya Nomura has stated that ''Kingdom Hearts III'' will not be the end of the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series; there will be much more to come! One of the two spin-offs is expected to be released this year, but ''Kingdom Hearts III'' will not be released until ''Final Fantasy Versus XIII'' is released, the current project of Nomura's team.

The first of these is the long-awaited [http://na.square-enix.com/khbbs/ North American site]. Currently, it is bare of any new information or screenshots, though it does have a very beautiful and creative display. Expect this site to update with the North American screenshots, gameplay information, and trailers of ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''.

| The second site that Square-Enix recently launched is something new: a [http://www.kingdomheartsbbs.com/ Uninversal English site]. The site links to information on the game for different countries in Europe, as well as the United States. This port site is assumed to contain links to the European sites once they are launched.

| With ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'' a week away from its release in Japan (yay!), now would probably be a good time to remind our old editors and new editors alike to take a look at the wiki [[Kingdom Hearts Wiki:Spoiler Policy|Spoiler Policy]] regarding new games. We're all excited, but remember that not everyone wants to know every detail of the game right away, especially when it comes to plot and character elements. Please be mindful and respectful of wiki members that wish to remain unspoiled, especially in non-article areas like the Forums and Talk Pages. Thanks!

| In the December 2009 issue of Game Informer magazine, the Top 200 Games of All Time list was released, according to the magazine. ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'' ranked at 79th, and ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' ranked at 130th. Both games ranked higher than such popular titles as ''Assassin's Creed'', ''Call of Duty II'', ''LittleBigPlanet'', ''Pong'', and ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''. The ''Final Fantasy'' games, which are heavily related to the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series, also did very well, putting ''[[w:c:finalfantasy:Final Fantasy XII|Final Fantasy XII]]'' at 112th, ''[[w:c:finalfantasy:Final Fantasy IV|Final Fantasy IV]]'' at 80th, ''[[w:c:finalfantasy:Final Fantasy X|Final Fantasy X]]'' at 43rd, ''[[w:c:finalfantasy:Final Fantasy VII|Final Fantasy VII]]'' at 15th, and ''[[w:c:finalfantasy:Final Fantasy VI|Final Fantasy VI]]'' at 8th. The list was topped with the original NES game ''The Legend of Zelda'' at the top of the list.
| |
| | |
| The magazine also had a small preview article of ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''. Unfortunately, no new information or images were released. However, Game Informer reports that the PSP game's North American release can be expected around mid to late 2010.

On Thursday, April 9th, <u>'''all''' non-''Kingdom Hearts'' images will be removed from the wiki</u>. It will still be okay to put non-''Kingdom Hearts'' pictures on your User Page, but they must be stored or hosted on another website, such as PhotoBucket.

Today marks the 18th anniversary of the KHWiki! To celebrate, here's a quick recap of everything that's happened in the last... seven years? Better late than never, I suppose.
The Kingdom Hearts series has been quite busy since the last update to these archives, with several new games, multiple concerts, and even more content on the horizon. I did my best to cover the major dates, but there's definitely more that I wasn't able to include. See you in 2031 for the next Trinity Archives update.

Xion4ever grabs copy of Trinity Archives, blowing and knocking dust off of it Whew! It has certainly been a while! Pardon our absence- the real world always finds a way to draw us away...Anywho! What a tremendous year we are having so far! Forgive me if I miss out on a few dates...
- January 12/24 (Japan/NA, respectively): Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue is released! Although some say Nomura is still stalling for Kingdom Hearts III with yet another HD remake, at least this collection gives us new material! Ever wonder what Aqua did during the time post-Birth by Sleep and pre-Kingdom Hearts? This collection is for you! Ever wonder just who/how the Foretellers came to be? (And what of their mysterious Master?) This collection is for you! Ever want to revisit the realm of Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance on a big, flat screen TV instead of the small 3DS screen? This collection is for you!
- March 10: Starting on this day in Japan is the premiere of the "Kingdom Hearts World Orchestra Tour!" This short tour features the music of Kingdom Hearts, encompassing many themes and pieces fans are sure to recognize. If you haven't listened to the album yet, you are sorely missing out! Many of our favorite themes have been smashed into longer multi-movement works that hit on most of the largest characters and events in the series. While some pieces have been merely re-arranged, such as "The Other Promise," some pieces are given their first orchestral cover- Aqua's Theme, the Vanitas battle theme, and so on.
- March 28: Perhaps the biggest announcement to appear on this update is the 15TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE KINGDOM HEARTS SERIES!!!!!! That's right, folks! For fifteen blessed years we have been graced with a time-traveling story of a bunch of people running around with Disney/Final Fantasy characters and keys. To celebrate the occasion, a port of Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 & 2.5 ReMIX have been released for the PlayStation 4! So, what has been your fondest memory of the series thus far? Favorite character? Be sure to let us know over in the forums! As if this day couldn't get any better, the final volume of the YenPress release of the Kingdom Hearts II manga is set! While the front cover art was leaked today, the actual volume won't be released until later this year on May 23rd.
- March 23/April 6 (Japan/NA, respectively): Kingdom Hearts Union χ[Cross] is released! Picking up where Kingdom Hearts χ left off, explore what happens to the Player after surviving the Keyblade War. Although a recent release, the story is already twisting and turning ala Nomura-Kingdom Hearts fashion, leaving us with many questions and speculation.
- April 1: Grab some sea-salt ice cream and some of your Wiki-friends and find the closest clock tower! The Kingdom Hearts Wiki celebrated its 11th anniversary! Being the number one encyclopedia for all things Kingdom Hearts, it is a momentous day for all KHWikians and friends! Thank you to our hardworking users for all that they do! From our veteran staff to our newest of users, this Wiki is what it is because of every individual! And, a hearty thank you to our readers for giving us a reason to keep going. So, celebrate! Let us all continue to chronicle this epic journey until the end!
- May 2: Being the music lover that I am- I mean seriously, that's what my university degree is in- it is exciting to see The Other Promise featured on Classicfm's top 300 songs of the year! Placing at number 119, it is very exciting and awesome to see not only Yoko Shimomura, but also video game music to get the respect/publicity they deserve. Although not as high placing as previous years, The Other Promise still managed to "beat" many standard repertoire in the music world.
- May 2 and 3: Kingdom Hearts II is featured in both IGN and Game Informer Magazine's "Top 100 RPGs of All Time!" The game placed 86th on IGN, and 25th for Game Informer. If you look closely at the cover of the June issue of Game Informer, you can make out a small Keyblade-wielding Sora in the center.
- May 11: Kingdom Hearts III DRUMROLL PLEASE is (yet again) pushed back regarding a release date. As seen here, Kingdom Hearts III is pushed to the back burner, with a potential release date in 2018...or later. Back to the waiting game for fans, it seems. Hope no one lost too much munny on betting when it would come out this year. Perhaps more information (and trailers!) will be revealed at this year's E3?
- Did you ever want to high-five or write Tetsuya Nomura a note? Want to thank him for all that he has done/yet to do? Or would you just like to say hello? If so, you're in luck! Check out KHWiki:Photobook for more details. Don't miss out on an opportunity like this!
...and that about covers some of the major highlights so far this year. We will try harder to be more on top of updating this. As always, be sure to keep track of the latest Kingdom Hearts news by checking out our friends at kh13.com and Kingdom Hearts Insider!

Shiro Amano, the author of the Kingdom Hearts manga series, has confirmed the end of the series via twitter.
So sad. Because the Kingdom Hearts manga has ended, tweets related to [KH] will probably also end. Feel free to unfollow me because of this. Thank you all so much.

This is a bit late being mentioned over here, but...
This past Thursday, on June 11th, Christopher Lee passed away. Many will recognize Lee for his portrayal of Count Dooku from the Star Wars series. For Kingdom Hearts fans, however, we recognize Lee for voicing DiZ/Ansem the Wise. It is with great sadness to hear of Lee's passing. Mere words cannot express our gratitude and thanks for his contributions. Thank you.

We hope you enjoyed our April Fools prank this year! In collaboration with the Keyhole, we misled the internet into believing in Kingdom Hearts -3D HD ReMIX- and we also published a fake issue of the magazine. The real issue will be published later today with a special feature on our April Fools prank so be sure to take a look!
Special thanks to Chainoffire, KeybladeSpyMaster, and everyone else who got involved!
