Square Enix announced that Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX will be launched exclusively for PlayStation 3 this fall and will include the original game redone in high-definition, the immediate continuation of Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories and cut-scenes from Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.
"We're proud to announce the upcoming release of KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5 ReMIX for North America!" Square Enix community manager Robert Peeler posted on the PlayStation blog.
"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."
Peeler also said that the story will continue as a journey through worlds inspired by classic Disney flicks like Aladdin, Hercules, Alice in Wonderland, Pinocchio and the Nightmare Before Christmas, but this time it will be in all its high-definition glory with the addition of new weapons, enemies, skills and scenes.
"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," Peeler added on his blog post about the release.
And Kingdom Hearts fans are expressing their excitement over the release on the PlayStation blog.
"This will be the happiest day of my life! I've been waiting for years to see the final mix comes to America! Now let's just get Sora in PlayStation All Stars so we can promote this!" user Spoelstra3 posted in response to Peeler's blog post.
"Finally the news I've been waiting to hear. Definitely a day one buy for me. Thank you for bringing this over to us," Im239 commented.
Peeler said that the new Kingdom Hearts release will not be available for digital download on the PlayStation store, but it will be launched in Europe on the same day as North America.
