As you have most likely surmised by now, the upcoming "special announcement" announced by Nomura was an April Fool's Joke. The joke was a partnership between KHInsider and HeartStation. We realize this probably disappointed you, and we know that through a certain member's vigilance, the joke was spoiled for many of you.
We do want you to realize though, that the April Fool's Joke was never going to be just the announcement of an announcement. We are fully aware of how lame of a joke that would be. No, we were going to do something much bigger. We had actually planned to reveal what the special announcement was, but due to ramifications in our personal lives, we were unable to complete it in time. We apologize.
But I want to share the process, and amount of thought put into the full, real April Fool's Joke. We hope that you can, at the very least, appreciate the amount of thought, and time, we put in and I'd like to show you what we did manage to get finished in time.
I'm sure you can tell by the image at the top of this article, but the "Special Announcement" was going to be the revelation of Kingdom Hearts III. We were going to make a fake logo, "official" character art, screenshots, and a Nomura interview regarding it. Essentially, we were going to make a complete and fully detailed, realistic magazine scan.
But for us to want it to seem believable, we knew that we couldn't simply make the announcement + scan appear out of nowhere on March 31st-April 1st. This was why we added in the additional interview question to the last Nomura interview that was released, so that we could set-up for the joke a good week ahead and therefore make it more believable.
We were then going to release the fake scan on a Japanese Blog called Junon. We then planned on e-mailing major sites such as FF7ACReunion, KHU, KH-Vids, etc. about the scan, in hopes that they would post about it before we did. The next day, HeartStation would release the translations for the Nomura Interview. On April Fools, we planned to then reveal the truth.
We believe this could have been a well executed, and high-quality April Fool's joke, but, life is unexpected, and our personal lives took over. We apologize that we couldn't finish the April Fool's joke for you, and hope that you will enjoy the content that we did have finished for it below.
(Note: Additional content may be added during the day as it become available).

We have seen how upset you, the fellow members, have gotten over the revelation that the Special Announcement was a joke. And we just want to remind you that April Fool's day is not a day to be taken serious. It's a day of good-natured tom foolery, and we hope that everyone can look at this event with a sense of humour and appreciation.
