Kingdom Hearts 3: ReMind DLC introduces new "Data Greeting" custom photo mode
A free update will also add a new dual-wielding Keyblade form for Sora
Kingdom Hearts 3 : ReMind DLC release will include a "Data Greeting" feature that enables you to create your own customs photos in-game. You'll be able to place all sorts of objects down for your photos as well as place characters anywhere you like and choose their poses and expressions.
The new photo mode feature coming to the DLC was detailed in a series of tweets posts on the Kingdom Hearts 3 official Twitter account. In the images posted in the tweet, you can see that you're able to choose from a selection of locations to set your photos, and you can see some of the "objects" you can place, with a menu of different Dream Eater creatures to select.

From the looks of it, you'll be able to place up to 25 objects and 25 characters in your photo set-ups and use different filters and effects to give your pictures that finishing touch. The image only shows the main characters, but it looks like more may be able to feature in the photos.
As well as giving us more information about the Data Greeting mode, the account also gave us more details about some of the other exciting features included. ReMind also introduces a new Premium Menu that you'll be able to use to custom the difficulty of your game, as explained in a tweet from Square Enix: "We've added codes to make the game either easier or harder, and included a number of challenges for you to take on… good luck!"
Most exciting of all, a free update is coming to Kingdom Hearts 3 ahead of the ReMind release will add a new Double Form that will once again allow Sora to dual-wield Keyblades. The ReMind DLC is set to release on PS4 on January 23, 2020, with the release on Xbox One due to release a month later on February 25, 2020.
Outside of these new features, new story content and boss battles will also be coming to Kingdom Hearts 3, so there'll be plenty of reasons to reunite with Sora and the gang very shortly. Photo modes are always a fun little touch in game worlds and the amount of options the Data Greetings feature appears to give you looks set to give Kingdom Hearts fans the opportunity to create all kinds of picture perfect moments.

I started out writing for the games section of a student-run website as an undergrad, and continued to write about games in my free time during retail and temp jobs for a number of years. Eventually, I earned an MA in magazine journalism at Cardiff University, and soon after got my first official role in the industry as a content editor for Stuff magazine. After writing about all things tech and games-related, I then did a brief stint as a freelancer before I landed my role as a staff writer here at 12DOVE. Now I get to write features, previews, and reviews, and when I'm not doing that, you can usually find me lost in any one of the Dragon Age or Mass Effect games, tucking into another delightful indie, or drinking far too much tea for my own good.
