Kingdom Hearts III
"Kingdom Hearts III" was released for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on January 25, 2019 in Japan and other Asian countries, and is scheduled to be released on January 29, 2019 elsewhere. In July 2017, at D23, it was announced that the game would release in 2018. Almost a year later, at an additional performance of the "Kingdom Hearts" Orchestra World Tour in Los Angeles, the game's North American release date was revealed to be January 29, 2019. Nomura spoke to moving the game's release date outside of 2018, stating the development team had been told the original release date they had considered was not "good timing in the year" to release the game, especially considering "differences in holiday lengths and how stores behave in different regions". In addition, Square Enix requested the game be released as simultaneously as possibly between Japan and the rest of the world, and not wanting to move up the release at the expense of development, resulted in the January 2019 date being chosen. The game's epilogue is planned to be added to the game on January 26 for Japan and January 30 elsewhere, while the secret film content is planned to be added worldwide on January 31, 2019. This was done in order to help prevent them from leaking beforehand, since Nomura called them "the biggest spoilers" in the game.
Hurt: The EP
Shortly after her The Labyrinth arena tour ended in July 2010, Lewis began to work on her third studio album. It was reported that Simon Cowell had set a deadline for Lewis to complete the album for a summer 2011 release. After originally having been given a release date of 28 November 2011, "Glassheart" was pushed back to March 2012. Lewis's reason for delaying the release of the album was that after she met producer Fraser T. Smith, she wanted to collaborate with him on new material for possible inclusion on "Glassheart". Lewis delayed the release of the album a third time, with "Glassheart" set for release on 26 November 2012. As a result of her fans having to wait until November 2012, a year after the album was originally set to be released, Lewis decided to release an extended play entitled "Hurt: The EP", as something to "bridge the gap" while she recorded new material.
