<p>Craving a current gen <em>Kingdom Hearts</em> fix that isn&#8217;t stuck on handhelds? Want a refresher on most of the convoluted story that&#8217;s occurred so far? Missed out on the series completely first time around? Square-Enix have you covered as an HD Collection of various titles from the <em>Kingdom Hearts</em> series will be hitting the PS3 next year.</p>
<p>But which titles are going to be included? The <em>Kingdom Hearts</em> universe is lengthy and numerous thanks to all of the handheld spin-offs and prequels and interquals and spin-off prequels and spin-off interquals. Well, Square are doing it as a trilogy and giving us HD versions of the original <em>Kingdom Hearts</em>, the Gameboy Advance (and, later, PS2) spin-off <em>Chain Of Memories</em> and the DS spin-off <em>358/2 Days</em>, However, that last one is only getting its cutscenes HD-ified and sent off as, being a DS title natively, a lot of fundamental changes would have to be made to the game to make it playable on a Sony console.</p>
<p>Both of the playable KH games will come with full trophy support (presumably, Square don&#8217;t want to make a trophy for <em>358/2 Days</em> for sitting through every cutscene) and KH 1 is the <em>Final Mix</em> edition. This version was never released outside of Japan and features numerous gameplay tweaks; best known as the definitive edition.</p>
<p>But that is not all on the <em>Kingdom Hearts</em> news front! No, the other story is not news that <em>Kingdom Hearts III</em> is finally being made. Don&#8217;t be ridiculous. Instead, a <em>Kingdom Hearts</em> social game is inbound. Not much is known, but it&#8217;ll be a browser based game and will return to the card based system of <em>Chain Of Memories</em>. There&#8217;s no release date for it yet, but it&#8217;ll be interesting to see if it actually works.</p>
<p>As for the <em>Kingdom Hearts</em> HD Collection? It&#8217;s called <em>Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Mix</em> and will be coming to Japanese PS3s next year. No word on a Western release date, yet, but it can&#8217;t be far behind, surely?</p>
