We briefly discussed the trailer for Kingdom Hearts III’s “Re:Mind” DLC during Square Enix’s E3 press conference, and now we have some new information about it.
(Warning: the trailer and this post might at least imply spoilers for Kingdom Hearts III.)
From the previous announcement of the DLC, we knew it would include a new scenario called Re:Mind, a “Limit Cut” episode and bosses (“limit cut” is the term Japanese fans use for Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix’s data battles), and a secret episode and boss.
There were all sorts of theories about what the trailer showed, but thanks to a Famitsu interview with Nomura, we have some new details translated by Gematsu.
First, the trailer does not include any Limit Cut scenes. Most of what we see in the trailer is from the new scenario. The new scenario is also standalone and can be played after you beat the main game. The other playable characters will be available as you progress through this scenario.
This is significant, because many people thought the boss battles shown in the trailer would be either data battles or a revamped version of the game’s climax.
Second, Oathkeeper and Sora’s new form will be released as free DLC around the same time as Re:Mind. Finally, the Limit Cut bosses should be about the same amount as in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix.
There’s no release date yet for the DLC, but they’re hoping to avoid having it too close to Final Fantasy VII Remake’s March 3 release. That makes it likely that we’ll see Re:Mind in early winter.
I loved Kingdom Hearts III, and I can’t wait for the DLC. The news that those trailer scenes are mostly from the new scenario has me excited to see how it all fits together.
Are you planning to get Kingdom Hearts III’s Re:Mind DLC?
