PARODY: Kingdom Hearts Project < 3 Sees Light

[LocoColt04]

Last week during the 2013 Game Developer's Conference in San Francisco, Square-Enix held a private conference with some key industry personnel. In the midst of the Kingdom Hearts ReMIX buzz, an exciting bit of information was nestled in with the other discussions. Coming soon to a console near you: Kingdom Hearts: Project < 3

More details after the jump.

More like external use, amirite???

Potential worlds include the return of Agrabah, a classic Kingdom Hearts locale, and Andy's Room, as Disney seeks the inclusion of the Pixar franchises. Toy Story is a shoe-in for the Kingdom Hearts style. There may also be cameo appearances from newer characters in the Final Fantasy franchise, though no details were released regarding who would be selected.

Project < 3 features Sora, Riku, Goofy and Donald taking up roles as primary party members. There is no word on whether the maximum party size is to be adjusted, nor was there any mention of whether Mickey will see a primary role. Kairi is hinted as a playable character, but nothing is yet known of her role.

While it is most likely that the game would see a release on the PS3, it may be viable on the PS4, or multiplatform. Platform was not mentioned at all during the private conference.

More details to be released leading up to and after the official release of the Kingdom Hearts 2.5 ReMIX.

EDIT:
Thanks to all who played along, but as KH Insider was outed incredibly early, we've decided to go ahead and clarify.

This delightfully almost-believable hoax was brought to you primarily behind the scheming mind of Freya at Eyes on FF, collaborating with myself and other key members of the SQEX fansite community (many of whom were at January's Lightning Returns event). Through Sign of KHI, we were able to reach out to other KH fansites, including those with international standing.

Sorry for any broken hearts (pun intended).

We still don't know what SQEX JP's teaser site (see next post below) will have in store for us, so there may actually be hope for some real announcements. Happy tenth anniversary, Square-Enix!
