Square Enix North America has today begun teasing new advancements for Kingdom Hearts Union X. The promotional material showcases the base design for the male player in the Keyblade Graveyard, surrounded by the Keyblades of friends and hearts floating through the sky.
An ad appeared on Crunchyroll that first teased these announcements, and Square Enix fired a tweet from their dedicated Kingdom Hearts Union X account to support and highlight this upcoming development:

"The time to remember is arriving… History will soon unfold in #KHUX! Stay tuned for more details!"
It is unknown at this time what exactly this will all pertain to. Both promotional materials tie into the Keyblade War, which was skipped over in both Unchained X and Union X, so Square Enix may be finding a way to include that story in Kingdom Hearts Union X.
The Japanese version of Union X is still ahead in the main story, with the Player and Ephemer both witnessing Cy-bugs in Heroes Duty, so it being included in the main story is unlikely unless Square Enix North America makes changes to the timeline and scheduled main quest releases, however anything is fair game at this time, including a tease at the upcoming English release of the Kingdom Hearts X novel. The Japanese version of the game does, however, celebrate its fourth anniversary next month so we may be getting a major update in celebration!

Hit us with the super computer stuff, Nomura. My heart is ready!
THE THING!? THE THING WITH THE FIGHTING AND SUFFERING!?

YES! THE THING!! THE KEYBLADE WAR IS UPON US!
It's unlikely, but I'm really hoping this announcement means we're getting somewhat closer to the end of the story.
Not to damper on anyone who likes this game, but KHUX has seriously been my least favorite installment in the KH franchise (yes, much worse than Coded), and even though it's cool that they've got a Wreck-It Ralph world in there now, it's clear that it's going to be mostly filler anyway, and at this point I just really want to find out what happens. This game and KH3 kept teasing some massive super-revealing plot development relevant to the story moving forward, and I want to see what it is already and not slog through another year or more of this atrociously monotonous pay-to-win gameplay punctuated by micro-bits of usually insignificant narrative development.
The 4th anniversary of KHUX is upon us, maybe the Global team is again teasing stuff that will appear during the celebration before the Japanese team again.
This means were something like 6,5 years into the KHX story now. It's crazy to think how little has been achieved in this time and how much has been cast aside (the whole Mickey side story for example).
YES! THE THING!! THE KEYBLADE WAR IS UPON US!
What I want: UX's story ending soon & a console port with 90% of the filler missions cut & rebalanced gameplay so it plays like a proper RPG & not a P2W power creep-fest.
What we'll get: 5 new Classic Kingdom minigames with promises of more coming "later".
Speculating by the title: guess it's time for another Keyblade War, and time for everyone to remember.
My bet is that everyone will become Darklings.

I'd love that too! But if anything I think Square would rather focus on the next title first. Though if they remake UX I think the game would benefit with the Command Deck System from BBS/DDD. There are so many Unique Special Medal Moves in UX (besides Supernova) that it would be a shame to pass up. (I'd rather them remake 358 and Coded still tbh but maybe they could make another HD Collection of the KHuX remake and 358 and Coded? I'm probably asking for too much.)
5 new Classic Kingdom games, like new-new or new to Union Cross that is from KH3?
I'm excited to see what juicy plot details we'll get in UX in the future either way.

I'd hoped they learned their lesson after last year's debacle and at least waited to let the Japanese team be the ones to make the first announcement, but alas. The community manager was teasing the Crunchyroll ad on Discord before anyone discovered it on their own, so I guess the folks at SENA are pretty eager to put it out there.
Wonder if Nomura will draw any new artwork for the occasion.
As long as it isn't a of events from KHX, consider me excited.
Knowing our luck, it will just be the reveal that Piglet is the Master Of Masters.

Can't wait for the mass theorizing that will generate!
You know what'd be great? If freaking Flower Hoodie finally shows up. Twerp's been on the title screen for forever now.
I don't know why I should be excited, considering the NA version is behind the JP version. Or are they talking about what's gonna happen next overall?

I forgot about Flower Hoodie and how they were a thing. What a mess it has been with getting this story out.

Should be the latter as both versions celebrate each other's anniversary now. But I guess we won't know unless JP acknowledges this themselves which, if they will, would be closer to the actual date of the anniversary (September 3).
Considering how the mobile games never experienced the Keyblade War sequence like Browser X, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a repackaging of that. It was a pretty good sequence if Everglow's play through it any indication.
Isn't Flower Hoodie the person calling themselves "Darkness"?

Darkness was hidden in the shadows during the only scene they've appeared in. They could be Flower Hoodie, but there's been no evidence of that so far.
So yeah, this is teasing a Keyblade War scenario event that begins on September 3rd, the day of the anniversary.

…Sorry, I’m getting a bit too excited. ?
Me, who actually thought Disney Animation was going to step up and turn KHUX into a Disney+ series:

Okay, now we're talking!
What if it has something to do with ReMIND since it's a "time to remember"?
Time to remember how bad this mobile game is? oops
I have zero expectations for PAX West, but it can't be worse than Gamescom and D23 Expo last week.

Zero is exactly the right thing to expect from SE's KH offerings at PAX.
All of this craziness because of a limited event lol
Currently playing through Part 1 of this event and something Gula said to Skuld made me raise an eyebrow; he'd already made several references how we're (Wielder and Skuld, but mostly Skuld) are like Master Ava, and he says "You really ARE just like Ava" it made me think of that theory of Subject-X (missing girl) and the similarities between Terranort (subtle foreshadowing maybe?)

He's referring only to Skuld because of how righteous she is. Brain made the same comparison immediately after they were introduced to each other. But I don't see any similarities between the Subject X/Ava theory and Terranort.
