HD 2.5 ReMIX will be announced at Tokyo Game Show 2013. This event will focus on HD 1.5 ReMIX.

But sometimes Square Enix loves making surprise since they put KH3 teaser trailer on E3 when people expecting that it's only HD 1.5 Remix....

That's different. E3 is the biggest video game event in the world. Japan Expo isn't even the biggest in Europe. Gamescon is.

How many times are they going to show off Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX? They probably just have nothing to say now about the game and just have playable demo for people attending there. I doubt there's anything about Kingdom Hearts 3 here but since Tetsuya Nomura is also visiting, I have my hopes up for something.

The English version has only been shown twice (PAX East & E3). And they weren't anything special. Both of which are American events. They need to promote the English version more. And this will be the first time the HD Collection is promoted in Europe. PAL regions didn't get Re:Chain of Memories, so they need to promote the HD Collection in PAL regions.

See my post.

Got it. First time in Europe.

 

Im sure the FF X collection might be shown though, if they're showing KH 1.5.

Sounds sweet. Hopefully they'll at least talk a bit about 2.5

 

It's not even announced yet, they can't talk about it until they announce it. Which they'll do at Tokyo Game Show.

I would be pretty psyched in they came out and said that KH 1.5 ReMIX is also going to come to Ps4! That way we can have every KH on one console. :3

Is the trailer the same one that was shown at E3 or is there anything new?

 

Judging by the photo taken during the trailer, it appears to be the E3 trailer. Demo footage is new.
