Update (10/4/22, 4:45pm): We heard that Square Enix is using cell service blockers during the event to prevent leaks. Perhaps the company plans on revealing a sequel to Kingdom Hearts or a spin-off game at the very least?

Apparently they're using cell service blockers at the event area. Whatever this event has in store for us they didn't want any early leaks.
