The polarizingKingdom Heartsfranchisesucceeded in winning the joy and ire of many fans and non-fans recently by taking part in anHD remix project, which includes the originalKingdom Hearts,Chain of Memories, and movies from358/2.
The problem is,Kingdom Hearts II, one of the most beloved games in the franchise (if not the most next toBirth by Sleep), was nowhere to be found. After being pestered by pretty much everyone, Nomura told Famitsu that “it would be unusual if there wasn’t [an HD remake of2].” So, there’s hope!
He also spilled some details on the upcoming1.5 HD Remixcollection, stating that the in-game models are fromKingdom Hearts 3D(cool!) — so they will be updated beyond a simple upscaling process.
Nomura additionally clarified the inclusion of358/2. A lot of sites are reporting that the version of358/2 Daysis a fully fledged game, but that is not the case: it’s simply presented in an in-game theater mode.
