While Square-Enix continues developing 'Kingdom Hearts III', the company has posted a job listing for their Osaka location, seeking a System Programmer to work on the highly anticipated game. The job description is as follows:

With Kingdom Hearts 2.8 released worldwide and Kingdom Hearts 3 in the works, it's no surprise that Square Enix will be releasing some new figures.

The first of these figures (and the one we have the most information about) is a new Kingdom Hearts 3 Bring Arts Sora figure. This figure is available from both the Japanese Square Enix store and Japanese website, Ami Ami. The figure costs $61 (6,999Yen) from the Square Enix store and $45 ( 5,180 Yen) from Ami Ami . For Noth American audiences, the figure will be available in August 2017 for $69.99 from the North American Square Enix site. The figure includes Sora's new keyblade, often seen in most promo art, his blasters, and other interchangeable parts.


The second figure is an (in my opinion) long awaited figure. To celebrate the release of Kingdom Hearts 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, an Aqua Play Arts Kai figure is set to be release, according to the Square Enix Products Facebook page.


This figure will be on display the Nuremberg Toy Fair in Germany from February 1st to February 6th. No other information about this figure is available yet, but we'll be sure to let you know when it does!

A new screenshot from 'Kingdom Hearts III' was posted on the official Japanese Kingdom Hearts Twitter account to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Final Fantasy VII:

The screenshot is a clear homage to the iconic FFVII artwork from the game's cover. Whether or not this screenshot will actually end up in the game, or was just something done for FFVII's 20th anniversary, remains to be seen. Nevertheless, it looks pretty cool.

The official Kingdom Hearts website has just received a massive update, such as dividing the series into four games (Unchained χ[chi], HD 1.5 + 2.5 Remix, HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, and of course KH3), new character summaries, worlds being listed with the movie they are based off of, as well as the addition of images and past trailers. Interesting things to note in the updated website include the following timeline:

Also, the area usually referred to as the Dark Margin now appears to have an official name:
