TheKingdom Heartsseries is set to launch onSteamthree years after it was originally ported to PC and released as anEpic GamesStore exclusive.
Revealed in the description of anupcoming announcementtrailer that is set to premiere on the Square EnixYouTubechannel later today, the games are going to launch on June 13, 2024. Although there aren’t many further details, the description does confirm that this will include the entire “Dark Seeker Saga.”
Based on what’s already available on the Epic Games Store, it seems reasonable to expectKingdom Hearts HD 1.2+2.5 ReMIX,Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, andKingdom Hearts 3and its ‘Re Mind’ downloadable content (DLC) to arrive on the platform. There is also a chance thatKingdom Hearts Melody of Memory, a rhythm game spinoff that is also available on the Epic Games Store, will be released, too.
If you’re not familiar with theKingdom Heartsseries, two of these titles are large compilations that contain content from across the series. get ready for some funky game titles.Kingdom Hearts HD 1.2+2.5 ReMIXincludes:Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts 385/2 Days, Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix,andKingdom Hearts Re:Coded. That’s an awful lot of games, but it’s worth bearing in mind that bothKingdom Hearts 385/2 DaysandKingdom Hearts Re:Codedare present in the form of cinematics that deliver their respective stories without any of the original gameplay.
Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologuethen containsKingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance HD, the movieKingdom Hearts x Back Cover, andKingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep. If this all sounds supremely confusing, you basically just need to start by completing everything inKingdom Hearts HD 1.2+2.5 ReMIXbefore moving on toKingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologueand thenKingdom Hearts 3 to get the full experience.
TheKingdom Heartsseries is a long-running collaboration between Square Enix and Disney, bringing together elements from a range of Square Enix games likeFinal Fantasyand Disney properties such asToy StoryandFrozen. They’re incredibly meaty games with hours and hours of content to discover and, while it is important to stress that compatibility is not confirmed at this time, it seems like they would be a fantastic fit for theSteam Deck.
