As it says in the OP, Square Enix will be live streaming content from their demos. High chances are, if KH3 is involved, it’ll be the demo but with French subtitles but they could surprise us.

Also they exactly don’t need a conference to showcase something new. It’s preferable, in the content of KH3 marketing, but something like the opening does not need a conference or showcase to be revealed.

yeah true will see though

The marketing format could also start shifting here soon. We could see less focus on big event announcements and start seeing more direct to consumer news drops through social media channels. That’s how a lot of Square Enix’s recent releases have been once they were around 3 months from release. They may still release the content around or during an event, but not necessarily through it.

That is very true, and an astute observation. We know the big ticket items where KH3 should turn up but they do need to start pushing things through to the consumer. Give it a proper consistent push of information to consumers instead of one big push every couple of months.

New screenshots, world information, character reveals, and gameplay explanations go a long way and it is something Square Enix has not leaned into this marketing cycle outside of events and it’s a bad decision to have it that way.

Disney is actually the reason why I think Square haven’t released anything like that yet. My guess is that marketing materials need to be approved by them since they are dealing with high profile IPs this time around and everything needs to be perfect.

I mean, while we got a few short gameplay videos during TGS we need something more bite sized that shows off mechanics. A bunch of renders are missing and even though we jump from one event in one month to another event in another month, it feels like we are constantly in a drought since the only updates we get are through merchandise. It’s why I’ve been so excited to see photos of Richard Epcar and James Patrick Stuart in the recording studio this week.

Yes, exactly! There is so much potential for this game’s marketing that hasn’t been tapped into yet. I just realized that on 10/25, right before PGW, it’ll be 13 weeks from KH3 in JP. If there is about that many playable worlds, they could showcase one world per week with new character renders, new screens, etc. They could release renders for the Org members too on the weeks their featured worlds are shown. (I also need them to revamp this NA website to match the JP version...)

Also, it’s crazy to think, but it’s likely only a matter of weeks before this game (the JP version, at least) goes gold. Once that happens, I think we’ll see more of the finer details since they’ll be finalized.

While we could get some new content, with no new trailer I'm not expecting a world reveal. Reminds me of the live streams of TGS when some of use were hoping for one after the San Fransokyo trailer.

anything possible they dont need a panel or mediashowcase to show a world

 

[kingsoraful]

New worlds can be revealed in magazines, just as how it's always been with this series sometimes.

 

[DefiantHeart]

Not interested, unless they randomly decide to pull out a new trailer, lol.

 

[Recon]

Live streams for everything but KH3? Blasphemy.

 

[TheZX]

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't get any new info. Specifically a new teaser or trailer before the release. I'm feeling 50/50 about anything new before the T.V spot.

 

[Launchpad]

My impatience is kicking in and I'm starting to wish they'd release this demo publicly, willing that they did a heavy cleanup of all spoilery files that may currently be hidden in the demo. Even if they were to just release the one Goofy-sledding and subsequent heartless boss fight demo, it'd be nice for the larger public to give KH3 a lil baby try.
