Yesterday was X019, an Xbox-centric event, and while I didn’t watch the stream live, several exciting announcements came from it.
The Yakuza series is coming to the Xbox One. Yakuza 0, Yakuza Kiwami, and Yakuza Kiwami 2, which are all currently available for the PS4 and PC, will be available for the Xbox One in early 2020.
They will also be included in Xbox Game Pass, both for console and PC.
In possibly even more exciting news, the remaining Kingdom Hearts games are coming to the Xbox One in 2020 as well! It never made sense to me that Kingdom Hearts III, the conclusion of a story-driven saga that all but requires you to be familiar with the previous entries, was available for the Xbox One and yet they never brought the remix collections.
Now, Xbox One players will finally be able to play the Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 Remix and Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue and experience the series properly.
2020 will also see Final Fantasy VII, VIII (remastered), IX, X and X-2, XII, all three XIII games, and XV added to GamePass. Meanwhile, Final Fantasy XIV is planned for Xbox in the future, although it isn’t ready yet.
Those are some exciting announcements for Xbox players! If you have an Xbox One, will you be picking up any of these games when they come out next year?
