Square Enix has just confirmed their lineup for this year's Gamescom, and among those will be Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX. Although it is not yet clear, we should be expecting the HD remaster to be playable at game terminals.
For those unfamiliar with the convention, Gamescom is an annual game convention that is held in Germany and has grown in popularity ever since its first convention back in 2009.
During the past weeks, Square Enix has usually been showcasing the same parts of the game, so whether they will be showing new segments, or even a brand new trailer will become clear when the event itself takes place during August 13th-17th.
Check out the full lineup for Square Enix here below:
