“Although my heart may be weak, it’s not alone. It’s grown with each new experience. And it’s found a home with all the friends I’ve made. I’ve become a part of their heart, just as they’ve become a part of mine… I don’t need a weapon. My friends are my power!”
Since this memorable speech, Sora’s dedication to his friends has shown across the series, and the magic of KINGDOM HEARTS continues to unite fans throughout the world. Ten years later and seven entries in, we have a new opportunity to replay the adventure that started it all in beautiful HD.
We’re proud to announce the upcoming release of KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5 ReMIX for North America! The young Sora wields the magical keyblade in search of his lost friends, making new ones with Disney’s Goofy and Donald along the way. The story continues through classic Disney stories like Aladdin, Hercules, Alice in Wonderland, Pinocchio, and The Nightmare Before Christmas. Utilizing RPG mechanics and gaining new exploratory powers throughout his adventure, Sora solidified himself as a starry-eyed hero that bridged Disney classics with a unique overarching story of friendship and courage. This classic hit comes in breathtaking HD with various gameplay enhancements, and is exclusively available for the first time on PlayStation 3 this fall.
Sora’s adventures took a dramatic turn with his journey into the mysterious Castle Oblivion in KINGDOM HEARTS Re:Chain of Memories. These events revealed some of the hidden intentions behind the shadowy Organization XIII. Their movements and the training of one notable character in the series, Roxas, are detailed even further in stunning HD visuals through the cinematic scenes of KINGDOM HEARTS 358/2 Days.
All of this is included with full Trophy support in one spectacular release. Plus, KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5 ReMIX includes the once-exclusive KINGDOM HEARTS FINAL MIX content, like new enemies, weapons, abilities, cutscenes, missions and more!
We can’t thank the fans enough (many of whom have asked us many times for this very game!) for all their support throughout the years, and we urge all of you to continue to follow news surrounding KINGDOM HEARTS on our official Twitter and Facebook. Relish this opportunity to replay the original and know again why without a doubt, the light, is KINGDOM HEARTS!
Why not bring it to the Vita? The vita needs some loving too. Make it transffaring so we can always take it to go. I’m a person who is always traveling so it would be awesome. Buy the PS3 get the vita for free. The idea of having more people playing your games all the time because I’m enjoying my capcom games with ultimate marvels vs capcom 3, street fighter x tekken, at home and on the go. Also Konami’s Metal Gear Solid HD collection.
I think Im going to cry , this just made my life ^_^
Wooohoo :D
Wish it was coming out sooner, PS4 is in the fall!
KH2 and Birth By Sleep also need HD re-masters!
i cant wait to get this GAME I AM SO EXCITED WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
I switched over to online gaming on the first XBox around the time the first KH’s came out, so missed out on all the KH games and haven’t played a FF title since FFX.
I picked up a Vita a couple weeks after launch in hopes of getting back into the fantastic Sony exclusives I’ve been missing out on, but don’t have a PS3 and have no desire to pick one up with PS4 launching this fall.
I just grabbed FF6 during the FF Anniversary sale and plan to pick up FFXHD whenever it hits.
I sure hope you guys decide to bring this to the Vita. I’d love to get acquinted with this franchise and I’m sure my boys would also.
Peace and Good Gaming All.
YES YES YES YES YES. Thank you Square, thank you so, so much.
Never have played a game in this series, as soon as I see a disney character in a game, for some reason (i enjoyed the cartoons well enough growing up) I lose interest in the game. The thought of playing a game where you have to interact with or even use a disney character like goofy… feels wrong.
Although there is a certain strange appeal to the thought of playing as a pantless duck… I should probably think on that some…
But I’ve heard so much hype from people for this series that I’ll definately consider picking this up when it’s out. Most of the people who play the games I like to play also love this series and I really haven’t heard a bad word about it, I hope there’s a demo.
Thanks for bringing this to NA.
Just logged in to say Thank u! and to tell u that FF7 its the best PSN classic game sold….. WHY FF7 Remake Its not possible still with all the profit u had made with it! :(
this is excellent news. If remakes and updates are what SE needs to stay afloat, I’ll gladly give them my money. I’ll pretty much do anything to help see the Kingdom Hearts trilogy to a close. Just…please, don’t make me wait another 7 years. and PLEASE don’t try to make any more STUPID MMO’s. I think I speak for the majority of your community that a return to your roots in a fresh, new way would go over much better than following this trend of “breaking the mold” that has been happening since just about after FFX.
Thanks square!!! I was getting sad that it wouldn’t be localized (now Namco should bring Jojo’s Bizzarre Adventure All Star Battle to america) , the ending of this game is so pretty, especially when Cloud reunites with Aerith, looking forward to it in glorious HD!!
I can’t wait. I LOVE Kingdom Hearts so much.
damn,,,, im waiting this since i have played the third part 7 years ago
So Awesome, I can’t wait until I can add this to my Kingdom Hearts collection!!!
Too bad we won’t be getting kingdom hearts any time soon >:( GAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (lol)
If KH3 ever gets announced I hope it stay exclusive to the Playstation Brand unlike how the main Final Fantasy games did.
Now put him in PSASBR and that dlc will be selling like hotcakes
Great news, but I would have liked for all 3 of the ps2 games to be out in one package, KH1, KH CoM, and KH2. I would have much preferred KH1 and KH2 instead of Chain of Memories. Hopefully you guys are working on HD releases of the rest of the games as well, and hopefully they don’t take too long.
Oh and please work on KH3 already! We’ve been waiting for it for YEARS now!
<3 I have been waiting for this
haha. I guess they knew the actual game of 358/2 Days wasnt really worth playing. But I don’t hold that against em. Most long-running franchises have a crappy entry, that just happened to be theirs
So I’m going to assume that the reason you guys omitted KH2 is youre planning a second collection for it?
OOHHH YEEEAAAA!!!!!
Any chance of New Zealand seeing a release?
I am so excited for this. I also hope that KH2’s final mix is released in this same fashion.
OMG OMG OMG OMG! I’m so happy, I think I shed a tear :’)
Oh, wow! Robert Peeler. This if off topic, but can you shed some light on the Square Enix rewards program soon? I’ve been ultimate since 2009 and I still use my iPod you guys sent. Really looking forward to hearing news about the new program for this year since you guys changed it, but I’m worried since it’s nearly over and I’m not sure if I’ve done enough to hit ultimate.
I don’t want to divert the topic too much, but you can expect some news soon.
