In December, Square Enix announced a 2012 release for Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance in North America and Europe, but didn’t say when or how far along they were in the localization process.

Reports this week indicate that English voice-recording sessions for Kingdom Hearts 3D are well underway, with some of the cast already having wrapped up their work on the game. KHInsider report that Vincent Corazza, who reprises his role as Zexion in the game, is done with recording.

Additionally, Jesse David Corti, the voice-actor who played Neku in The World Ends With You, is recording for the same character for Kingdom Hearts 3D as well. A week ago, Corti revealed over Twitter that was “about finished” with recording his lines.
