Get ready, because we have a lot of Kingdom Hearts news coming up.
First, a new trailer for the Kingdom Hearts 3 DLC “Re:Mind” has been announced for September 9. Hopefully it will shed a little more light on what we can expect.
But that’s only the start.
As we speculated last week, a special Keyblade War event has begun in the Japanese version of Kingdom Hearts Union Cross. It appears to be a standalone event, rather than specifically coming up in the story, at least for now.
It’s the 4th anniversary of KHUX in Japan, and Nomura released a special message about it, translated here by KH Insider.
Nomura has been working on the main scenario of Union Cross, and four story updates are planned for October. He shared two screenshots related to the first two of these updates.
The first one appears to be the Master of Masters talking to Luxu, telling him something about when he (the Master) was a child. The second shows Ava meeting with Brain, who says her message has been received. Both of these are significant, the first because it sounds like we’ll be learning about the Master of Masters’s past, and the second because it implies Ava chose Brain after all.
Of course I’ll be speculating about this in more detail over at my Kingdom Hearts theory site.
Finally, Nomura gave a general update on his current progress: he’s finished the Re:Mind scenario and the first two KHUX story updates, but before he returns to working on the rest, he needs to work on a “mystery request” related to “a yet-unannounced 3rd ‘line’ of KH.”
What does that mean?
A third line of Kingdom Hearts sounds like it could be something separate from the console games and the mobile game (if we take those to be the first two lines, which is my theory).
Is it a game? A parallel universe? Something related to the new Kingdom Hearts novel series from Scholastic?
Whatever it is, it sounds like we have a lot of exciting Kingdom Hearts updates to look forward to. Oh, and Nomura mentioned that “mind boggling” changes might be on the way to KHUX, giving only the hint “double feature.”
What do you think Nomura is talking about? What will the “3rd line” of Kingdom Hearts be? Are you looking forward to the Re:Mind DLC trailer? Share all your thoughts in the comments below, and join me in my current Kingdom Hearts confusion/speculation (the natural state for Kingdom Hearts fans).
