Square-Enix has unveiled the Limited Edition of "Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue," which will launch for the PlayStation 4 in January next year. The company also gave a treat for consumers who pre-order the game as they are going to be automatically upgraded to get the Limited Edition for free instead of just the standard edition of the game.
As per Gematsu, the Limited Edition comes with an exclusive Disney's Collectors Pin, this one containing both Mickey Mouse and Sora. The box art is also slightly different compared to the standard edition, but these are all the additional things fans will get in the Limited Edition.
Unlike other special editions for other games, this comes with no exclusive content, no separate disc with the official soundtrack, no poster, no figurine, or no behind-the-scenes DVD either. Because it lacks the traditional items often associated with a collector's edition, the Limited Edition costs only $59.99 in North America.
Despite the lack of special items in the Limited Edition, it is noted that "Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue" is not just one game. It is a package containing the HD remaster of "Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance," and an all-new game "Kingdom Hearts 0.2: Birth by Sleep - A Fragmentary Passage," which focuses on the story of Aqua.
There is also the full CGI film, "Kingdom Hearts χ Back Cover," which tells the tale of the Foretellers. This film is only going to be one hour long, but it will unveil some of the backstories regarding the Keyblade Wars and some of the franchise's main villains.
Together, all three entries in "Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue" will set up the events that take place in "Kingdom Hearts 3," which is also scheduled to release sometime in 2017 or in early 2018.
"Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue" will roll out for the Playstation 4 on Jan. 24 in North America and Europe. Japan will be getting the game a bit earlier on Jan. 12, 2017.
