Disney's D23 Expo Japan, starting today, could be the site of an announcement concerning Kingdom Hearts III. The Kingdom Hearts Twitter account teased an appearance at the expo, leading many to speculate whether another trailer or even a release date could be revealed in Tokyo.
Kingdom Hearts III's current 2018 release date was announced at last year's D23 Expo in Anaheim - as well as a trailer - so it wouldn't be outlandish to expect some kind of announcement this weekend.
Could a concrete release date for Kingdom Hearts III finally be announced, or have you stopped holding out hope for the long-delayed title? Get goofy in the comments below.

Update: A new trailer has indeed emerged from the expo, officially revealing the Monsters Inc. world for Kingdom Hearts III. We've embedded it to the top of the article.
The game's main theme was also shown off, and you can listen to it here.
Square Enix has also stated that the release date for this long-awaited sequel will be unveiled at E3 2018.

Sweet jesus this looks good
yeah i watched the Trailer and the music video for the KH3 theme song and it's looking brilliant
also anyone see Riku's new look, kinda bad ass

The new theme song very genuinely made me cry. Wow. This is my most anticipated game of all time.
I can't wait for this it looks so good
Man The graphics look good
Unreal engine 4 is the savior of AAA japanese game
Is... is it actually happening?
@sajoey Same here. 12 years of wait and I still want this game more than anything else that could/will possibly come out.
also did anyone else notice how similar Riku's new design is to a certain Prince
This game just looks better and better each trailer. I really need to play 0.8 now so that I'm ready for it.
I’ve been preparing for this game since 2016.
I’ve played 1.5 remix in 2016, 2.5 and 2.8 in 2017 and I’ve just bought re:coded and days for the ds because I wanted to play (and physically own) them all.
KH3 can’t come soon enough.
I am always surprised by how unappealing I find KH when I love FF... It seems like it's a real game though and far in development! I am glad for all the fans that have been waiting so long! It even hasn't got a stupid name
This is pure magic. I can’t wait to play it and I can’t wait for my kids to experience it also! Dreams do come true!
That looks amazing. It actually gave me goosebumps. Can't wait!
As a huge fan since the original make , watching this trailer made me happy inside . Just curious if that 2018 release will hold ....
So so excited for this
This looks so freaking good. I just wish I could get through the first game without giving up.
This game will be legendary .wow it looks great.word up son
@Feena Me too. The dialogue combat are what usually turn me off. I'm sure the later games will be better, but I can't get through the Alice in Wonderland stage in the first game before turning it off.
@mookysam when in 2018 do you think this game will come.what month. Word up son
@Fight_Teza_Fight do you think this game will come in September.October.what month do you think it will come word up son
Looks great. I'd be thrilled if it makes it this year, but I'm not holding my breath.
@FullbringIchigo Well he did say the in trailer "maybe the other me could use it" so perhaps they found a way to shoehorn Noctis in as a Nobody
Am I the only one that finds Goofy's Monster's Inc. look terrifying?
Anyways, I have a feeling the game will be out Q4 this year. Hopefully it doesn't get pushed back to 2019.
I'm speechless. This is amazing
I need to play like 5 more games (2.5 onwards) but it looks great. I can see a November release.
@playstation1995 I think it will get an October release date, but will be delayed into early 2019.
I just can't believe that this game is as close as Square claim it to be.
My most anticipated title the generation!!
Mike Wazaowski.
I'm worried they are showing too many worlds before release!
But Monsters Inc is my favorite Pixar movie so this makes me so so so so so excited! This game can't come soon enough!
This is shaping up to be a game both me and my little girl love her favourite Disney films are Monsters Inc and Tangled (which is actually brilliant best Disney films since Aladdin)
I'm hype.
Impressive, looks like it's coming this year too, would be one of the biggest reveals on the next E3.
OMG, this trailer was so awesome, I cried tears of joy.
I can't wait until E3 2018 now, finally a release date!
@Lovespuds It's not that hard. You play 1.5 first (KH1, Re: CoM, 358/2 Days), then 2.5 after (KH2, BBS, and Re:Coded), and finally 2.8 last (Dream Drop Distance, 0.2 Fragmentary passage, and Back Cover movie).
Playing Order:
1.) Kingdom Hearts
2.) Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories
3.) Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days
4.) Kingdom Hearts II
5.) Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep
6.) Kingdom Hearts Re: Coded
7.) Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance
8.) Kingdom Hearts III (TBA)
I hate the dream eaters, otherwise awesome trailer.
@Lovespuds Indeed you are ! Hope you enjoy the series mate .
I'm certainly gonna try haha. Playing inFAMOUS: Second Son, watching some backlog, and I'm also gonna try and get some RL stuff done that I've been stalling on.
@Lovespuds I trust you've played the previous inFAMOUS games? I miss Cole, hopefully he makes a comeback if Sucker Punch ever returns to the franchise.
I'm not married yet, definitely not in a stable financial situation to even think about dating lol.
Work is just so time consuming. I wake up at 7 AM, I'm home by 7 PM, then I have to sleep around 12 AM.
@ToddlerNaruto that order that you listed, are they all available on PS4? I also have never played KH but have always wanted to.
Wow, that's a great trailer. Not invested in KH3 at all but this piqued my interest enough to pick up one of the PS4 collections.
@ellsworth004 All available on PS4. As @ToddlerNaruto said all you need are Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5+2.5 ReMIX (1 game) & Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue.
Enjoy! It's never been easier to get into Kingdom Hearts .
@ellsworth004 What @Fight_Teza_Fight said.
If you can be patient, both collections have gone on sale for $20 New several times, physically and digitally.
@ellsworth004 like @ToddlerNaruto just said the collections go on sale often now, i got the 1.5 & 2.5 HD collection physical for £20
@TheBraveFencer You'll want to buy Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX first.
1.5 comes first (KH1, Re: Chain of Memories, 358/2 Days), then 2.5 after (KH2, Birth By Sleep, and Re:Coded), and finally 2.8 last (Dream Drop Distance, BBS 0.2 Fragmentary Passage, and Back Cover movie).
Playing Order:
1.) Kingdom Hearts
2.) Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories
3.) Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days
4.) Kingdom Hearts II
5.) Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep
6.) Kingdom Hearts Re: Coded
7.) Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance
8.) Kingdom Hearts III (TBA)
