Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8: Final Chapter Prologue

Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8: Final Chapter Prologue is coming to PS4, publisher Square Enix has announced. The game will include high-definition remasters of three Kingdom Hearts titles: Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance, Kingdom Hearts X Back Cover, and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep 0.2. The announcement of Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8: Final Chapter Prologue was made at a press conference held by Sony in the lead up to the Tokyo Game Show. There is also now an official website for the game.

Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 will come to the Playstation 4 in 2016, but no specific release date has been offered yet. The new title follows Square Enix’s pattern of releasing 3 remastered Kingdom Hearts titles in one package. The last package, Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX, compiled remastered versions of Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix, and cutscenes from Kingdom Hearts Re:coded. It was released last year exclusively for Playstation 3.

The announcement puts to rest rumours that have been circulating the internet for some time that a Kingdom Hearts remake was in development for the PS3 and PS4 (although the rumours suggested the title would be Kingdom Hearts 2.9). The rumours originated with a Square Enix developer who listed work on a game called “Kingdom Hearts 2.9” on their LinkedIn page. The developer apparently worked on the game for 10 months and oversaw “game idea planning and documentation” and “boss planning.”

The rumours also suggested that the upcoming Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 remaster would lead directly into Kingdom Hearts III, and that appears to be true. Square Enix revealed Kingdom Hearts III, the long awaited next instalment in the main series, at E3 in 2013. It had actually been in development from as early as 2006, but Square Enix kept it quiet for some time. The publisher recently announced that the game would feature a world from the 2014 animated film, Big Hero 6.

Helldivers 2 proved to be a surprising success, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the gaming industry. As per Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, it currently ranks as Sony’s seventh highest grossing game in the United States to date, trailing behind a trio of Spider-Man titles, a couple of God of War games, and Ghost of Tsushima. It’s only been on the market for less than three months and is not even being sold at full price.

According to Piscatella, a significant factor contributing to the game’s success is its release on PC. He mentioned that, based on Circana’s Player Engagement Tracker, the game has consistently ranked first in terms of active users on Steam in the US since its launch, including April. The release of Helldivers 2 on both PlayStation and PC has been an extraordinary triumph.

He stated that Helldivers 2 has already become the seventh highest-grossing Sony-published game in history. Without a PC, it would not currently be considered one of the top 20 games. While I’m emphasizing the success of the PC SKU, it’s important to note that I’m not disregarding the success of the PlayStation SKU. I just wanted to clarify that. This launch has proven to be incredibly successful.

Prior to the release of Helldivers 2, Sony made it clear that they would be launching their live service-style titles simultaneously on both the PS5 and PC. The success of this approach will undoubtedly strengthen their strategic vision. It will be intriguing to witness if the company reveals official sales figures in the near future, as the title appears to be one of the platform holder’s most successful sellers to date.

Shift Up, the Korean developer, seems to be reconsidering its contentious alterations to the Stellar Blade outfit. In a message to fans, they have urged everyone to stay tuned for updates and expressed gratitude for the passionate feedback from players. For those who may not be aware, a petition gained significant attention over the weekend when gamers discovered changes made to a few of the game’s costumes through a day-one patch.

The launch day update includes a fantastic New Game + mode, but some players were disappointed by the changes made to protagonist Eve’s outfit. These alterations sparked debates about censorship. Director Hyung-Tae Kim later clarified that this was the studio’s original vision, but he acknowledged that it may require further persuasion to win over users. Internal discussions were also underway to address any concerns.

There is no definitive confirmation regarding the reversal of the outfits, but considering the language used in the statement and the widespread controversy surrounding the alterations, it is highly likely that a future patch will restore the original costumes. If you want to get a sneak peek at all of Eve’s different outfits and learn how to unlock them, be sure to take a look at our comprehensive guide, All Outfits and How to Get Them.

Unfortunately, Stellar Blade will not be available on PC, at least not initially. Currently, the game is only available on PlayStation 5 starting on April 26, 2024.

Regrettably, it appears that there is no indication of a potential PC release for Stellar Blade in the future. In most cases, trailers for PlayStation timed-exclusive titles conclude with a disclaimer that specifies the duration of their exclusivity.

In the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launch trailer, it is explicitly stated that the game will only be accessible on other platforms starting on May 29, 2024.

Regrettably, when it comes to the stellar blade, there is no indication of such.

It’s important to note that Sony Entertainment Interactive published Stellar Blade, unlike Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This means that the chances of it being released on PC or other platforms in the near future are even slimmer.

However, it is worth noting that there is a chance the game might be released on PC in the future, given PlayStation’s track record of bringing their exclusive titles to the platform. However, it could be a while before this comes to fruition.
