Gameranx further elaborates that although he is attending the event, he most likely won't be showing off his latest projects, FFXV and Kingdom Heats 3.
Despite skipping several events, a Square Enix producer previously hinted that fans could hear more about FFV and Kingdom Hearts 3 in other conventions later this year. Tetsuya Nomura is co-directing the game with Tai Yasue as the game is being ported to the PS4 and Xbox One consoles.
Sora voice actor Haley Joel Osment was recently interviewed by IGN regarding Kingdom Hearts 3's status.
"I am not allowed to share, we've done a couple of installments on paper, [I'm] not allowed to share anything about it. I know Kingdom Hearts fans are really loyal and won't be disappointed by whatever we get around to in future."
Meanwhile, it looks like five Final Fantasy characters are rumored to join Kingdom Hearts 3.
According to reports from savecontinue.com, these are Noctis of FFXV, Balthier and Fran of FFXII, and the Warrior of Light in the first Final Fantasy game.

Lastly, there have been reports that Kingdom Hearts 3 will not just have both Disney and Final Fantasy in the game, but characters from both Marvel and Star Wars universes.
According to reports from Kotaku, Kingdom Hearts co-director Tai Yasue revealed that Marvel and Stars Wars character and worlds were being considered for inclusion in the long-awaiting video game sequel.
Yeah, I can’t go into specifics, but there’s a LOT of new Disney stuff and we have our plates full,” said Yasue. “Theres a lot to consider - we’re looking at all of Disney, the new ones as well, they have a lot of pull and draw."
He further adds by saying,
“We have to come up with a world that has a lot of originality. We want variety in our new Kingdom Hearts, so we don’t want too many of one sort of world, that would look the same. For each world there has to be some meaning for it, in the plot; in Birth By Sleep, for instance, in the Cinderella scene, the characters learn something specific by relating to Cinderella. Also, gameplay-wise, is that world something that would make gameplay fun? There’s a lot I can’t say, but there’s so much to consider.”
When Kotaku further asked if Marvel and Star Wars characters will likely appear in the game. He answered by saying;
“Well, yeah. They’re all under consideration,” Yasue said. “Nothing’s off-limits, we’re considering all of the worlds. There are so many wonderful concepts. We’re happy about that, but at the same time it’s really tough to choose.”
