Opening with a look at Kingdom Hearts 3 to remind you it’s in development, Square Enix has released an English version of the Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, featuring a look at the remastered Dream Drop Distance, a tease of the playable episode set after Birth by Sleep, and an idea of what to expect from the Unchained cinematics.
Unlike the Japanese version of the trailer where it says Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 is releasing in 2016, the North American and European trailers just say it’s “now in development.”
Here’s what’s included inside Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue:
- Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance Remastered
- Originally released in 2012, Kingdom Hearts [Dream Drop Distance] HD is a full-HD remastered version of Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance].

Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep – A Fragmentary Passage - A completely new playable episode that links to the story of Kingdom Hearts 3, taking place after the storyline of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep played from the perspective of Aqua.
Kingdom Hearts Unchained Back Cover Movie - A new HD movie that tells the mysterious story of the Foretellers, connecting the earliest parts of the series’ history, showcased in the upcoming mobile title Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ[chi].
