It’s been almost 20 years since Kingdom Hearts first sprinkled its Disney-fied action-RPG fairy dust on PlayStation, and while the series has (across many, many instalments) graced a multitude of platforms, its remained frustratingly elusive on PC – until now. Square has revealed a huge chunk of the series will be coming to the Epic Games Store on 30th March.
In total, PC players will be able to get their hands on 11 Kingdom Hearts titles, split across four different bundles. First up is Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + ReMIX, where newcomers will definitely want to start. This includes Kingdom Hearts Final Mix (a remaster of the first game, with HD visuals, improved controls, and more), Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories (released on Game Boy Advance in 2004), and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, which, while technically the fifth game in the series (it launched on DS in 2009), is chronologically the next in line.
You’ll 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.
The second bundle available to PC players on 30th March is Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, featuring Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance HD (a spruced-up version of the 2012 3DS game), and Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-, a short adventure leading directly into the events of Kingdom Hearts 3. Wrapping up the collection is Kingdom Hearts χ Back Cover, an HD movie set before Birth by Sleep.
