Description - Being the first world that Sora, Donald and Goofy enter, Twilight Town may be the next Traverse Town, being at the centre of all the action, with shops, places to rest and portals to all other worlds.

Itani's Description: If you've played CoM you would have had a small preview of Twilight Town. This world will probably have the same role as Traverse Town. Where you go buy items and weapons. The Disney site is also updating it's Twilight section. Nomura recently said that there's no point of making Twilight Town big but not featuring anything. So he has added sidequests through out Twilight Town. One is skateboarding with BHK.


Confirmed But Not Yet Official Worlds:


Castle Oblivion

Description - The castle where Sora, Donald and Goofy travelled through in KH: Chain of Memories.

Deep Dive
Characters - Mickey, Riku, Roxas (BHK), Unknown
Description - Deep Dive was first seen in KH: Final Mix as a secret video which isn't really a secret video anymore. You will see BHK (Blonde Haired Kid) at Deep Dive fighting an Unknown.
