Kingdom Hearts 3 ReMind DLC Arrives This January
Kingdom Hearts 3 was released nearly a year ago, but its story isn’t over yet. Sora and his animated buddies are returning one more time in the ReMind DLC chapter, which arrives early next year.

Kingdom Hearts 3 may be a finished product, but it’s not over yet….a special DLC chapter, titled Re Mind, is heading our way early next year. We still have no specified release date, but thanks to Tokyo Game Show, we did get a new trailer. It’s two minutes long and it’s in Japanese, so you’ll need to turn on YouTube subtitles to understand the dialogue (we mean from a lingual perspective, for the plot you’re on your own).
In this day and age, you should have known Kingdom Hearts 3 wasn’t truly the end, even if it does wrap up a “trilogy.” There is DLC on the way, and it was confirmed at the Kingdom Hearts Ochestra: World of Tres performance in Los Angeles last night. Attendees of the concert got a surprise reveal of the DLC trailer on the big screen, and though they told everyone “no photography,” somebody sneaked a cell phone video and uploaded it that night.
If you enjoy Kingdom Hearts 3, but feel the battles are a tad on the easy side, Square has introduced a solution: Critical Mode, their word for the new “hard mode” introduced with the game’s latest update.
We would imagine Square Enix is pleased with the stratospheric sales of Kingdom Hearts 3, released late January. There was one complication, however, they hadn’t accounted for: the existence of the third game ended up driving demand so high for the rest of the series, the compliation became impossible to find.
Today is the day! You probably didn’t need us to tell you this, but Kingdom Hearts 3 is at last a real product that you can buy and take home and play. The last time a proper numbered continuation to the series appeared, everyone owned a Razr phone and The WB was still a network. You could say it’s been a while.
Thirteen years is a long time to wait for a sequel. The last numbered installment of Kingdom Hearts was two console generations ago. As one commenter on the Internet put it, “I was a child when I first started waiting for this game, and now I have a wife and a kid of my own.”
Let’s start off with the elephant in the room here: Kingdom Hearts 3 was leaked. An illicit Facebook auction was caught and taken down, but not before some sales took place. Somebody out there with connections to a disc pressing facility was able to sneak out 30 XBox One copies of the game, and was able to sell ten of them.
These days, when a big release hits a console, that console gets its own limited-edition model with a design themed around that game. Or, at the very least, a bundle package with the game inside.
Kingdom Hearts 3 is now less than two months away, and today Square took the covers off their new opening cinematic. This is what you’ll see every time you turn on the game, unless you push X repeatedly in an effort to get to your game as most people do.
It’s done! No more delays….we will definitely be getting Kingdom Hearts 3 on its latest posted release date, January 29. Director Nomura confirmed the game’s gold status in a tweet this morning:
Roughly three months to go until Kingdom Hearts 3. You might think there isn’t much left for the trailers to reveal — and there apparently isn’t, so what we have here is an extended look at a world we already know about, Kingdom of Corona…..aka the Tangled area.
