11 games available in four versions.
It’s been almost 20 years since Kingdom Hearts first sprinkled its Disney-fied-action-RPG feast on PlayStation, and although the series (across many, many episodes) spans a multitude of platforms, it has been frustratingly elusive on PC remained – until now. Square has revealed that a large portion of the series will hit the Epic Games Store on March 30th.
In total, computer players can get their hands on 11 Kingdom Hearts titles, which are divided into four different volumes. The first place is Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + ReMIX, where newcomers definitely want to start. These include Kingdom Hearts Final Mix (a remaster of the first game, with HD footage, enhanced controls and more), Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories (released on Game Boy Advance in 2004) and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days , which, although technically the fifth game in the series (it was launched on DS in 2009), is chronologically next in line.
You also get Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix (a remaster of the second game), Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix (first released on PSP in 2010) and Kingdom Hearts Re: Coded – the 2011 DS remake of Kingdom Hearts Coded.
Kingdom Hearts Series Epic Games Store Announcement Preview.
The second bundle available to PC gamers on March 30 is Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, featuring Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance HD (an expanded version of the 2012 3DS game) and Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep – a fragmentary section -, a short adventure that leads directly to the events of Kingdom Hearts 3. The collection of the collection is Kingdom Hearts χ Back Cover, an HD movie set before Birth by Sleep.
The bundles are accompanied by two additional offerings: Kingdom Hearts 3 + Re Mind – the combination of the 2019 game and its DLC – plus Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory, a rhythm action tour of the series’ music that was originally released last year .
Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + ReMIX costs £ 39.99, while Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, Kingdom Hearts 3 + Re Mind and Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory cost £ 49.99 each. By the way, if you happen to also have a PS4 or PS5 and have not yet sat in Kingdom Hearts, you might be interested to know that the entire series of games above (minus Melody of Memory and the Kingdom Hearts 3 DLC) are currently being discounted . up to £ 22.49 on the PlayStation Store, which is a significant saving.
Square has not yet clarified whether Kingdom Hearts is a permanent or temporary exclusive Epic Games Store, but we will no doubt learn more about the publisher’s plans as March 30 approaches.
