    In this midst of the flurry of Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix news and the Square Enix 10th Anniversary arriving, a private press conference at GDC was held. A new project was going to be announced that was related to Kingdom Hearts called Project <3. Prior to the conference itself there was a myriad of speculation on this new entry, is it in fact the long awaited Kingdom Hearts 3 or was it yet again another handheld entry?


    The answer was soon revealed with the leak of a few sparse details as well as a snapped picture of the logo itself. Kingdom Hearts 3 is on its way! Hashimoto himself was there to announce the game!

    So far what has been leaked is interesting:


    • Sora, Riku, Donald, and Goofy will all be returning as playable characters. Kairi was not commented on.
    • Andy's Room and Agrabah were confirmed as new worlds. Aladdin's father as the King of Thieves was to make an appearance to finish Aladdin's story.
    • Notable Final Fantasy characters from XII and XIII that didn't make the previous main entries of the series due to their later releases will be included.
    • It was hinted that more Pixar worlds will be featured but there were no details available on which ones.
    • The game has been in production for a long time now and is hoping to be released as soon as 2.5 has settled in.


    As we know Square Enix is going through some financial hardships so it's no surprise they'll be pushing for a title that will automatically sell well. The real question is what platform will it be released? Will they put it on the PS3 to work with the trophies you'll receive for KH 1.5 and 2.5? Or will they push it ahead to the next generation console and put it on the PS4? What about those Xbox fans? Which would you like it on?

    So there you go fans! It's finally been confirmed! Kingdom Hearts 3 is on its way! Are you excited?

      Personally I don't give a crap about Kingdom Hearts, and I did nothing for this prank and wasn't terribly interested in it. Freya did a great job though of coordinating with other sites and pulling it off well; it's probably the most well-executed prank we've had.

      But most importantly, I skimmed through some of the KH Insider comments and just about died.

      Seeing as how this popped up on multiple sites within the first hour of the news being dropped, I'd just like to say one thing. If this turns out to be fake, EVERY SITE THAT HAD A HAND ON IT SHOULD BE EXCOMMUNICATED FROM THE FANBASE. At this point, fake KH3 announcements are not cute, funny, or comical—it's downright cruel and anyone who has a hand in such tom-foolery should be taken out and MegaFlared.
      I am ready to announce this prank as an unqualified success. How does it feel to get EoFF excommunicated from the KH fanbase, Kaycee?

      Really ?

      As soon as you saw the "<3 " you didn't think that something was up ??

      But then again, on April 1st I trust no bitch.

      We've gone global! *high five* This week I learned that my idea for the title being "Project <3" wasn't as lame or as obviously fake as I thought it was...

      I wish I knew what the translations for these things are. Anyone with Twitter access and Google Translate able to help out here? Stupid work blocks stupid Twitter.

      The top one and the bottom one are essentially the same, "April Fool" "Kingdom Heart Project <3" Starts/Going Around/Running! (The characters use mean "to start" but like a machine) And then the rest is just them wanting KH3 to come out. Basically "COME ON KH3!" "COME ALREADY!" Sorta deal.

      Apparent the middle guy thinks it is real: "New KH!" "Kingdom Hearts Project <3" Come!

      This prank was a lot more effective than I thought it would be. There are people that know nothing of Eyes on Final Fantasy that had heard rumors of a new title.

      Consider it a good preview of your reach to the global audience.

      Man this joke has made me so full of myself xD I can't believe it's still going!

      Sadly for being the masterminds behind the prank, it makes me sad we're nowhere in the google search.

      This site completely just copy pasted my article. lol.
