Other Breaking down Kingdom Hearts 2.8 Name

[Demon_Skeith]

Kingdom Hearts HD II.8 is easily the most confusing title in the KH series, KH designer Tetsuya Nomura helps breaking down why for the name.

“This Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance compilation follows the previously HD work 2.5...and is worthy as taking its place as 2.6,” said Nomura.

He added that the thinking is that the absence of Sora in Kingdom Hearts χ and Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ as well as the χ series in Kingdom Hearts χ Back Cover is the number zero.

“Because Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep is 0.1, this is how the 0.2 came to be put in the latest Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep,” Nomura added.

“Thus,” Nomura said, “the 2.8 number appears from 2.6 plus 0 plus 0.2.”

It has also been confirmed that 0.2 Birth by Sleep will run on Kingdom Hearts 3 engine and gameplay style.
