SoraMotto 0 Posted October 27, 2019 It mentions "for the HD development of Kingdom Hearts games" which is an interesting way to put it. I wonder if they mean more remakes or if this really is the next one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blue490246 43 Posted October 28, 2019 I seriously hope this is not a remake or remaster... We've honestly had enough of those... time to keep moving forward and either finish explaining the origin stories of the remaining Org members that we've still no clue of their backgrounds (i.e. Luxord and Demyx) and/or keep going with KH4 please...

I wouldn't really mind a KH1.5, 2.5 and KHDDD remake with UE4 graphics, but I'm sure they're focusing on the game before KH4 now 1 Movies798 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skorriii 0 Posted October 28, 2019 so is no one going to point out that this is for ps4 and xbox one. this means that it will probably come out before them (so around summer or fall next year) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Narutox212 0 Posted October 28, 2019 Could be a console version of Union X if it has to be a remake of anything. But I just think people are putting to much emphasis on the HD part and assuming its remake just because od that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stef106 1 Posted October 29, 2019 Wouldn't mind a remake of kh1 or something like that but definitely days first! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Transcendent Key 12,109 Posted October 30, 2019 This is such terrific and exciting news! Thank you so much for updating us on this, KHWaterBlock! Gahhh, the hype commences! I, for one, am very excited to see what the next Kingdom Hearts title will be! I think this may be that in between game Nomura mentioned in an interview. Or was it on the KHIII Ultimania? Anyways, he mentioned something along the lines of there being one more game before Kingdom Hearts IV. So perhaps this is the one? Cuz I believe that IV would come out as the series 20th Anniversary game, but that's just my thinking. Anyways though, I'm super excited! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
