In the new Final Battle trailer for Kingdom Hearts III, a new world was revealed during the last scene. Master Xehanort refers to this world as “Scala ad Caelum”, which roughly translates to “ladder to heaven” or “stairway to heaven”.This world used to be a seat of power for the Keyblade wielders. Xehanort states that he and his other selves are able to “be one” in this new world. This world, previously referred to as "Cable Town", was included in an exclusive piece of Kingdom Hearts III footage, which was shown only to the attendees of the Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX launch events in Burbank, CA and London, UK in December of 2014.

Players who instead pre-order the game's deluxe edition will receive a set of three badges, featuring Sora, Donald, and Goofy.

Hello, everyone! The KH13 staff is very happy to announce the launch of our very own public Discord server! We recognize the immense value of live communication among online communities, and as a result, we came to the conclusion that a Discord server would be a perfect fit for users who prefer such an option. For you frequent forum users, please do not be worried; the forums will remain as well-supported and moderated as they have been for the past several years! This is simply being treated as another option for community members to interact with one another. The server's various chat channels are divided in largely the same way as the forums, with Kingdom Hearts series discussion, memes, and fan art taking center stage. However, as with our forums, off-topic content and spoilers must be posted to their respective channels, in order to remain organized and allow newcomers to continue to enjoy the series unspoiled. Unfortunately, due to the staff's existing duties, our current Discord moderation team is rather small as of the time of launch. As a result, we are seeking people who are willing and able to assist us in keeping our new server clean and safe for all Kingdom Hearts fans! If you would like to become a moderator of the KH13 Discord server, please use this form to apply for the position. We hope that you enjoy our new Discord server, and everyone at KH13 looks forward to chatting with you! What are your thoughts on this new server? Do you have any suggestions on how to improve it? Let us know in the comments, or perhaps even on the server itself! Click here to view the article
