10 Upcoming January 2017 Video Game Releases To Look Out For
2. Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue
What is it: Kingdom Hearts 2.8 is the third HD re-release collection in the Kingdom Hearts franchise, and hopefully, promises to be the final one before Kingdom Hearts 3 releases. It's not like there're any other games to remaster at this point.
Featuring a triple pack of content, 2.8 HD's leading attraction is a remake of the 3DS's Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance, with brand new controls, a card system instead of touch screen minigames, and revised battle difficulty. It's practically a whole new game now.
Alongside it is KH 0.2: Birth By Sleep - A Fragmentary Passage, a brand new chapter entirely, which is set after the PSP's Birth By Sleep, using the engine from Kingdom Hearts 3, making it a both a prequel, a sequel, and a demo. Phew.
Kingdom Hearts χ Back Cover, the third package in the game, is an hour-long cinematic which details a new chapter of Kingdom Hearts history.
When's it coming out: 24 January.
