We've been working hard over the last week to develop a new section for you. And now, we are going to reveal that section to you. It is the music archive. This archive, which you can access in the main menu in the header, as well as in the links panel on the left-hand side of most pages, has each and every Kingdom Hearts song available for you to listen to.
One of the major features is the "Shuffle" page, which takes you to a random song and plays it, going to a new song when the first finishes. We would love for you to check this out! In addition to that, we also have individual pages for each soundtrack and each song, in case you had something specific in mind.
We hope you enjoy this new section! It will be updated over the next few days, so you can look forward to even more features, but in the meantime please browse the archive and enjoy music from Kingdom Hearts. Let us know what you think by leaving a comment at our forum.
As we reported last week, the reason for the lack of updates from us recently is that we have been working on a major new section of KH13.com. While we aren't going to tell you what it is yet, we can tell you that we will release it tomorrow, at 11AM EST. The new section will be as important as Videos and the Gallery, and something we think the majority of you will enjoy! Please look forward to it, and feel free to discuss what you think it will be at our forum.
UnBirth Wings have revealed that there are going to be novels for Kingdom Hearts Re:coded. What appears to be an advertisement in Japan has shown that the first of these novels will be releasing during July 2011 at a price of ￥800 (approximately US$9.74). Please stay tuned as we hope to have a novels section on KH13 in the near future.
Concerning E3 2011, we have a tidbit of news for you which leads to some speculation about the event. Sony have announced that they will be releasing past PSP titles as games for the PlayStation 3. Titled "PSP Remaster", these games will be the best-selling titles for PSP and will be remade with HD graphics and PS3-specific features.
So, what do you think; will Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep be remade for the PS3? While nothing is certain yet, it is definitely a possibility. Birth by Sleep is one of the highest selling titles for PSP, so the chances are high. We may find out more at E3 2011, which is in only 16 days! We hope you're looking forward to this event.
While we haven't had many updates to report in the last couple days, not to worry! That's because we've been working behind-the-scenes to bring you a major new section of KH13.com. While we aren't going to tell you what it is yet, we can tell you that this new section is on the scale of our Videos and Gallery sections. So, what do you think it is? Let us know by leaving a comment at our forum.
Secondly, we wanted to discuss E3 2011 with you. E3 2011 has been the subject of much discussion lately. While it is certain that Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance will appear at the event, it is unknown if any other future Kingdom Hearts titles will appear or not. However, we could like you to check out this reasoning of why other Kingdom Hearts titles WILL appear. It is written by Grass from KHInsider and is very informative and well-reasoned.
Anyway, we hope you look forward to all future updates!
Game Informer have announced a list of games that are confirmed to appear at E3 2011, the upcoming event. Kingdom Hearts 3D appears on this list. Although we previously knew that the game would make an appearance due to an announcement last year by Tetsuya Nomura, this is the first confirmation we have received from a third party. While other Kingdom Hearts titles are not yet confirmed to appear, the possibility exists. Please keep checking back as we announce more news relating to E3 2011, which starts in 19 days.
You can now be notified of any updates to KH13.com by email! At the bottom of the homepage, you'll notice a place to input your email address and subscribe. Here, if you follow the prompts, you will be subscribed to our news feed via email and receive prompt notifications of KH13 updates. We hope you enjoy this new feature.
E3 2011, the gaming event occurring in only 21 days, has had its floor plan revealed. This can be seen below, in our gallery, with the Square Enix exhibit highlighted. Also, in order to provide you with the most up-to-date information concerning E3 2011, we have created a dedicated page for it on our website, which can be accessed from the new Events section. Enjoy.
E3 2011
Square Enix have registered the trademark "SE Masterpieces" in Europe. This trademark, uncovered by NeoGAF, covers video games, as well as printed media and digital distribution. While it is unknown exactly what "SE Masterpieces" refers to, there is a good possibility that it is a re-release of past Kingdom Hearts titles. Square Enix have used "Masterpieces" in the past to refer to a Kingdom Hearts re-release, specifically a packaging of Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts II in Japan titled Kingdom Hearts: Trinity Master Pieces. However, it remains to be seen what this new video game from Square Enix is. Hopefully we will find out more as we lead up to E3 2011, which is in only 22 days.
Volume 3 of the Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep novel series, titled To the Future, is set to release in Japan on 26 May 2011, available at a price of ¥750 (US$9.29). The cover of this novel has finally been revealed thanks to Square Enix's "GAME BOOKS ONLINE". This cover can now be seen below, in our gallery.

Thanks for participating! Now, onto the new competition we are holding. Every month, we've decided we are going to feature the best threads made in various forums.

Higher quality versions of the English cutscenes from Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories have been added to our video archive. There are 99 cutscenes, and all have been extracted from the game, meaning they are in amazing quality and look clean due to the lack of subtitles. They are perfect for use in fan-made videos, or are simply just great to watch and enjoy! To watch them, head over to our archive of English Re:Chain of Memories cutscenes.
After Closing The Door is a rare chapter of the Kingdom Hearts manga. This chapter, which is otherwise known as "The short stories SELECTION 1", can now be viewed at our gallery in English thanks to taimea. It deals with Sora, Donald and Goofy after the epilogue of Kingdom Hearts. The chapter can be seen below, in our gallery.

We've created a topic on our forum where people can report any problems with KH13.com, or suggest any features you would like us to add. These will then be given an ID, and added to a list where you can track their progress. Hopefully this should allow for more improvements. For problems with the content on any games or media pages, please report to our Content Project forum.
Couple of things today. Firstly, we've created a page for Kingdom Hearts III which comprises together everything we know about the game. You might have things you want to add to the page, and of course, you can do that here in our Content Project. Secondly, our worlds section is now complete. This includes a complete story synopsis for each world. Thanks to everyone who contributed! Now, we're working on characters and aim to have the majority done before E3 2011.
And now, we come to you with a question. Today's question is what characters do you think will be featured in Kingdom Hearts 3D, and what will their involvement be? As usual, give your answer at our forum, and the best answers will be chosen and featured on the website. We look forward to you participating!
