Hey everyone, the Sony conference came and went and while PlayStation 4 news is exciting (talk about it with us in our Gaming section!), there was no Kingdom Hearts shown at the event. We still have some news, though! In GameTrailers's pre-show they announced they would be doing one of their Timeline series, this time with Kingdom Hearts!

For those unfamiliar with GT, they did a Legend of Zelda series where they tried to connect the dots between the games. The following trailer reveals that Spring 2013 will treat us to a Kingdom Hearts Timeline!
