PS4 News: Great news as Sony reveals BRAND NEW PlayStation model for early 2019 release (Pic: SONY)
Sony has announced it'll be putting yet another new PS4 Pro model on sale in the new year.
This time, the PS4 will carry a Kingdom Hearts III theme, and will be bundled with a Deluxe Edition of the game when it launches on 29th January.
The new PS4 Pro model will be decked out with some trademark Kingdom Hearts III designs and will come with a special, limited edition KH-themed DualShock 4.
"To celebrate the action adventures release on 29th January, were proud to announce a limited edition PS4 Pro Kingdom Hearts III bundle. The bundle includes a very special 1TB PS4 Pro and Dualshock 4," writes Sony on the PS Blog.
The PS4 Pro is furnished with an intricate patterning that features the Kingdom Hearts emblem and features a leather-texture finish. The matching gloss black Dualshock 4 controller includes ornate detailing on the touchpad.

"Of course this bundle wouldnt be complete without a copy of Kingdom Hearts III, and the PS4 Pro bundle comes with the Deluxe edition of the game, featuring an exclusive Sora pin, steelbook and full-colour hardback artbook," Sony continues.
It's unclear whether or not this PS4 Pro will also be a hardware revision, as we saw with the console giant's last big PS4 Pro release.
The last time Sony produced one of these special machines (for Red Dead Redemption 2), it included a hidden hardware upgrade that, simply put, made the console more powerful.
But equally, as a by-product of that extra power, it also gave the console a somewhat unexpected, but incredibly welcome advantage.
The new PS4 Pros included in the bundle carry the CUH-7215B model number, rather than the CUH-71XX series that was included in previous bundles (like the special Spider-Man machine from a few months back).

As confirmed by Digital Foundry, the PS4 Pro CUH-7200 is the company's latest hardware revision and can only be found as part of the Red Dead Redemption 2 bundle in the UK.
The new hardware – which we've written about before – is apparently the quietest model yet.
The new console produces notably less noise than other PS4 Pro consoles, according to the analysis from Digital Foundry. Which given the PS4 can sometimes sound like a jet engine, is a significant improvement.
If you missed your chance on the previous update and still want a new Pro, which runs a bit smoother than previous models, this new Kingdom Hearts 3 PS4 Pro might be worth keeping an eye on.
