Are you a fan of the Kingdom Hearts series? If so, you’ll be happy to hear that series director Tetsuya Nomura has just announced that Kingdom Hearts 3 is in development. He then went on to say that two titles besides Kingdom Hearts 3 in the works and hopes to have one released this year. There’s no telling when exactly that title will be released but he has said that Sora will be making a return as the title’s hero.

We’ll update you when more information is made known.

Square Enix has opened up an official website yesterday for their upcoming PlayStation Portable Disney-crossover action RPG, Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep. The site’s content (besides the menu) is in entirely kanji, so if you can’t read it, you’re out of luck. But most of the content is in regards to the game’s protagonists and story.

The pictures and video are nice to look at, although the trailer is outdated. And who can forget the epic music by the stylings of Yoko Shimomura and Kaoru Wada?

The game is listed for a Winter release this year in Japan. No word on when the game will be localized into English.
