WithKingdom Hearts 3only a couple months away, Square Enix is giving fans of the series a chance to catch up onthe complex storybefore the next big installment comes out. Today, Square Enix officially announcedKingdom Hearts: The Story So Far, a compilation of every major installment to the beloved franchise all in one package. At the time of writing, the collection will only be released for PS4 and only in the United States.
Kingdom Hearts: The Story So Farwill feature all the games that will play into the story ofKingdom Hearts 3in some form. Some of the games in the series will be remastered, while others will be in a movie form that will cover that specific game’s story. The collection includes the following games:
Each of these games contributes to the story that players will embark on whenKingdom Hearts 3releases early next year. For those interested in trying the series out, this collection should be a great way to experience everything theKingdom Heartsfranchise has to offer. However, if fans don’t want to play through (and watch) all of these titles,Kingdom Hearts 3willrecap the storyfor those who are new to the series. WithKingdom Hearts 3tying together every game in the series, new players will definitely need some familiarity with the story so far.
This collection is perfect for those who do not already ownKingdom Hearts 1.5+2.5andKingdom Hearts 2.8, but could be skipped for those that already own those two collections. While convenient to have in one box, it does not seem like this new collection will feature any new content though fans will have to wait and see if that is true when the collection launches. Regardless, this will hopefullyhold fans over untilKingdom Hearts 3, which will hopefully be worth the wait.
Kingdom Hearts: The Story So Farlaunches October 30 exclusively on PS4.
