Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance (キングダム ハーツ 3D [ドリーム ドロップ ディスタンス] Kingudamu Hātsu Surī Dī [Dorīmu Doroppu Disutansu]), is an upcoming game developed and published by Square Enix exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS, revealed at E3 2010. It is being created by the same development team that worked on Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, currently part of Square Enix's 1st Production Department. The game will be an entirely new chapter and the seventh installment in the Kingdom Hearts series.Tetsuya Nomura stated in an interview that the 3D in the title is a shorter version of Dream Drop Distance, and the two are interchangeable in the title.
Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance will only feature Disney worlds that are brand new to the series, although some previously seen original worlds such as Traverse Town will appear. The game's story will also be connected to Kingdom Hearts III, which has yet to begin development.
