News ► Kingdom Hearts 2.9 Listed on LinkedIn Profile & Possible New Kingdom Hearts 3 Information

[Oracle Spockanort]

It has been discovered on the LinkedIn profile of a Square Enix staff member currently working in Osaka, Japan that there may possibly be a title called Kingdom Hearts 2.9 currently in the works for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4. On their profile, it also mentions their work on Kingdom Hearts 3 where they serve mainly as the main scenario planner for two worlds in the game and also have various other jobs related to the game.

Their portfolio website also lists Kingdom Hearts 3 as one of their current projects as well. 

It should be noted that this is not the first time Kingdom Hearts 2.9 has been seen before, as it was shown on Square Enix Presents' E3 2015 schedule right on the showroom floor, but was later removed and the mysterious title remained unmentioned during the event. The staff member's profile also shows that there may be Pixar worlds, Gummi Ships, and a multiplayer mode in Kingdom Hearts 3.

Yes. DDD HD, here I come. My PlayStation 4 is ready.

 

[Happyfunshineman]

This is obviously Kingdom Hearts 3 Ground Zeroes.

Hopefully this means we'll be getting a patched 2.5 on ps4.

 

[gosoxtim]

if this truei i'l admit that nomura fool of no plans for kh remixes and if this rue kh3 will pixar world confrim

 

[Oracle Spockanort]

(So I'm at work, but I just wanted to say that it is a ute invasion of privacy to browse people's LinkedIn to report news but sing their portfolio isn't~)

*chants quietly* 1.5 + 2.5 + KH3D + KH3 Prologue. Best be believin'

 

[Nazo]

Dear God, please let this be real and be announced at TGS and include Dream Drop Distance. Square does have a "secret" game in their TGS lineup. Could it be 2.9?

 

[ShardofTruth]

It's the Final Fantasy Type-0 model: DDD HD + Kingdom Hearts III demo.

 

[BlackOsprey]

Whaaat?!

So, I'm assuming that this "KH 2.9" is separate from "KH ?". It could be a DDD remaster with Attraction Flow that will be released with KH3 Final Mix or something like that. I don't know. there's not enough to go off here. Who knows, maybe it could be something no one even thought of.

Or maybe it was something of a tech demo for III. Or an actual demo that people will be able to play.

*hoping for remix ports instead* *or at least ports with whatever they're making*

 

[MrFranklin95]

This is obviously Kingdom Hearts 3 Ground Zeroes.

Well... technically, you're not wrong lol

maybe or maybe not but the best place to annouced it in my opion is the kingdom hearts fan event in november however we n't know yet and maybe this is the plan he was talking about some way to indrouced kh to newcomers who hasn't played the remixes yet and want to jump in kh and play it

It is weird how so many people conveniently forgot 2.9 was leaked at E3 (even though they didn't publicly reveal what it was).

I wish I could say I'm surprised by "omg new KH game" but I'm not

 

[TinyZo]

it will either be a comp of both REmixes plus extras (3D HD?), or a Ground Zeroes-esque prologue for KH3.

gotta say though, "2.9" would be an awful awful name for either type of game

[Chuman]

/rant
i am cautiously optimistic about this. wonder what the multiplayer could be.

 

[WanPisu]

True or not, I'm not entirely convinced that it's the KH Collection we all wanted. I pray it is.

We got Three-Five-Eight-Days-Over-Two, I'm sure we'll survive.

that at least had meaning. what possible meaning could they give for "2.9" other than that it takes place immediately before 3. and thats ONLY if its the prologue-esque game, not a compilation. your argument is certainly not quite the same

nomura: ground zeroes was taken. *laughs* i also really like numbers.

 

[hemmoheikkinen]

I first thought that the KH2.9 thing at E3 was some sort of joke. Now that is has appeared again, this might be something really interesting. Oh man, if we would get a port collection that has 1.5 + 2.5 + DDD HD, I would be happy man. Some sort of KHIII demo would also be awesome, but I don`t think that is gonna happen.
Oh also, new collection means possibility of new Nomura artwork! Ooh, I can`t wait. Maybe this is the secret title that was in Squares TGS line up?
