This 2017, "Kingdom Hearts" will be celebrating their 15th anniversary which means it will be a big year for the fans and player including various several "Kingdom Hearts" projects to look forward to. Tetsuya Nomura the director of "Kingdom Hearts III" shared some of the things that are going to happen in the series in celebration for this special anniversary.

Gematsu reported that in an interview with Nomura for thelatest issue of Weekly Famitsu he said that they will be releasing "Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8: Final Chapter Prologue" in January. Then in February they will be exhibiting a "Final Fantasy VII" snow sculpture at the Sapporo Snow Festival and they are also preparing to begin the "Kingdom Hearts Unchained x 2" as well doing something for the D23 Disney event.

"We won't be releasing anything like a complete pack this time, but we're preparing a box that can hold both games, as is often the case with DVDs. Perhaps we can offer it as an e-Store bonus." Nomura said when asked if there will be some sort of complete and total package which includes the "Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 Remix" as well as a "Kingdom Hearts 2.8: Final Chapter Prologue".

Nomura was also asked about an update about the state of the development of the upcoming "Kingdom Hearts III". "While I can't make a sweeping statement because the development process is different from what we've done so far, there are still worlds untouched," he said.

"Production is progressing on unannounced worlds, in a state that we cannot show them off. In terms of the state of development, there is still some way to go," he continued which is has a similar answer about "Final Fantasy VII" Remake according to WWG.
