Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMiX Announced October 15, 2013

The Kingdom Hearts series has served as the perfect meeting of Disney and Square characters, and features a gripping storyline that has spanned across multiple games across tons of different platforms.  Right off the heels of the fantastic Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix release, Disney and Square Enix have announced that three more of the Kingdom Hearts games will be remastered for the Playstation 3 in 2014 in the form of Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX.

Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 Remix will be very similar to the previously remastered Kingdom Hearts HD release in that it will include two full games from the Kingdom Hearts series remastered for the Playstation 3, and all the remastered cinematics from a game that was originally exclusive to the Nintendo DS.  Also like the previous HD rerelease, the 2.5 HD ReMIX will include the Final Mix versions of the PS2 exclusive Kingdom Hearts II and PSP exclusive Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep.  These Final Mix versions of the games were previously only released in Japan and include a lot of new content and features not in the original North American releases.  And like with the 1.5 HD ReMIX the game will include all the cinematics, but not the gameplay, from a previously Nintendo DS exclusive game, Kingdom Hearts RE: Coded.

So how is this game going to look in HD?  Just have a look for yourselves!

I’m really excited about this.  Kingdom Hearts II is my favorite game of the Kingdom Hearts series and I’m so happy that I’ll finally be able to play the Final Mix version of the game in glorious HD.  Also, I’m sure that Sony hardware purists who never owned a DS will be excited to get the chance to see the events that happened in Kingdom Hearts RE: Coded in anticipation for the eventual release of Kingdom Hearts III.

Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX is coming in 2014 exclusive to the PS3.
