Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue is my most-anticipated game of 2016, and I’ll get to see most of the year before I play it.
Today, Kingdom Hearts 2.8 was confirmed for a December release.
(I was hoping for August, but oh well.)
While its glorious title can cause a bit of confusion, this is a new collection that contains:
- Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance HD
- Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth By Sleep – A Fragmentary Passage (which is brand new!)
- Kingdom Hearts χ Back Cover (which is an HD movie that doesn’t just re-tell Unchained χ, but is a different aspect of the story focused on the Foretellers)
Because of how late I got into the Kingdom Hearts series, I never played Dream Drop Distance on the 3DS. I do, however, intend to play the demo on my 3DS once I watch Re:coded.
The announcement was accompanied by an awesome new E3 trailer, because releasing E3 trailers before E3 has become a trend. I haven’t actually watched the trailer yet, because I’m still deathly afraid of spoilers, but you can enjoy it.
I’m certain (due to the explosion of 2.8 excitement across the Internet) it’s a wonderful trailer, and in a few days after I watch Re:coded, I’ll watch it and join you in your excitement!
(Update: I’ve watched the trailer now, and it’s awesome!)
Anyway, December 2016 for Kingdom Hearts 2.8. I can’t wait!
