Oh boy. Only a few hours and the panel will start. I kinda don`t want to raise my hopes too high, but I sometimes I catch myself hyping this. I wonder how many KH fans will be attending the panel?

 

[Vanitas666]

So if I translated the time right the show will start in 4 hours?
And there's no live streaming but people will tweet news, correct?

Yeah, 4 hours. But KH3 shares the stage with Disney Infinity 3.0 and Star Wars Battlefront so who knows when it will be shown.

There's no official live streaming, but there's rumours recording might be allowed. Either way, we'll have all the latest details as soon as they announce it on stage.

Ooh, right KHIII shares the presentation with those two games. If I remember correctly the panel lasts for an hour? It is kinda short for 3 games. The special guest`s identity`s are still a mystery too.

If that's 20 min each it sounds like a lot but I'm guessing KH III won't have more then 10 minutes at the very most, Infinity will probably get most time
