1Up says Kingdom Hearts Zero for PSP, Crisis Core not last FF7 game

The latest episode of the 1Up podcast has dropped the bomb on the rumor mill about two Square Enix franchises. Firstly, we could possibly expect more news and announcements about the fabled Kingdom Hearts prequels coming out. They’ve speculated about the rumor before, saying that the KH prequels would be acting like what Dirge of Cerberus and Crisis Core are for the FFVII universe. On a related note, Crisis Core gets a bit of mention in itself – and a hint of what to expect in the FFVII franchise’s future.

Shane, editor of EGM, had said something rather specific toward the last fifth of the podcast. It took a while to catch it, as it is very brief. Especially since the whole podcast runs for almost two hours, trying to catch that 5-second mention of KH is pretty tough. Right after talking about the FFVII-remake rumors sparked by the Crisis Core ending cinematic, they went off at a tangent, somehow squeezing in something about the Kingdom Hearts prequel (1:25:50 mark):

The other big announcement that you should look forward to is Kingdom Hearts Zero… for PSP… among some other Kingdom Hearts Zero games for other platforms…

They exchanged a couple of “Hmm…”s and “Hrrrmmm…”s by the time Shane ends his KH stint, but that’s pretty much it. The way the whole thing sounds, it’s as if it’s only a matter of time before it gets confirmed.

Meanwhile, for those keeping tabs on the FFVII-remake rumors, Shane mentions that, during the Square Enix party, they found out that Crisis Core is not the last game in the FFVII universe. So what’s the next FF7 game? Could it be the remake of the original itself? Or something else entirely? Oh no, wait. Don’t tell me. It’s Kingdom Hearts: Crisis Core! Ha! We jest.

It’s up to you how you want to read into this, but for now, we’ll neatly pile all of these loose strands on top of the Rumor bin. You may click the Read link below to check out 1Up’s podcast.
