Kingdom Hearts III version 1.09 is now available to download! This free update includes the much anticipated version 1.07 data, and prepares the game for the release of the Re Mind DLC. All in all, this update adds the Oathkeeper and Oblivion Keyblades, the Light Form, Dark Form, and Double Form formchanges, and various fixes and stability improvements. For those who are looking to obtain Oathkeeper and Oblivion, you must first obtain the two Proof items, Proof of Promises for Oathkeeper (find all 90 Lucky Emblems), and Proof of Times Past for Oblivion (complete the game on Critical Mode). These items can be turned in to the Moogle Shop in order to obtain the Keyblades. Like previous Keyblades, both the Proof items and their corresponding Keyblades will carry over between save files, allowing you to keep the Keyblades when starting a new playthrough. Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind releases in all regions in less than 24 hours! We hope everyone is prepared for what it will bring! View full article

Square Enix have released a blog article which looks back on several instances of Kingdom Hearts news in 2019. This article recaps events such as the release of Kingdom Hearts III, the announcement of Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind, the announcement of the Kingdom Hearts compilations coming to Xbox One, and the public release of the Kingdom Hearts III demo. While the article serves as a great look back at the time since Kingdom Hearts III's release, the section which covers Re Mind's announcement also included something far more interesting: a statement referencing a "new world" included with the DLC. This section of the article has since been edited to remove said statement. Thank you to Kingdom Hearts Insider for finding this information! It is currently unclear whether this is referring to an existing world being given much more content, such as Scala ad Caelum or The Final World, or if it refers to an entirely new environment which will contain some of Re Mind's features. It is also possible that this might be a simple mistake. Regardless, Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind releases on Thursday, January 23rd, so we will find out exactly what this entails soon!
