The collection bundles Kingdom Hearts -HD 1.5+2.5 ReMIX-, Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, and Kingdom Hearts III + Re Mind, which together hold seven games, three HD video works, and the Re Mind downloadable content. The package costs 11,000 yen with tax. The three titles also sell separately as digital versions: 5,280 yen for HD 1.5+2.5 ReMIX, 4,180 yen for HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, and 5,280 yen for III + Re Mind. Square Enix released six YouTube Shorts on September 14 that tour the worlds players visit, among them Arendelle, Pride Land, Halloween Town, Enchanted Dominion, Symphony of Sorcery, and 100 Acre Wood. The videos are made for viewers who have never played the series. The packaged version for Nintendo Switch 2 and PlayStation 5 requires an internet connection and an additional download to play.","whyItMatters":"The videos single out world tourism as the collection's selling point, not the numbered trilogy's plot, which points the package at lapsed players who quit the series before Kingdom Hearts III rather than at newcomers Square Enix says the Shorts are for.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe six Shorts cover Arendelle, Pride Land, Halloween Town, Enchanted Dominion, Symphony of Sorcery, and 100 Acre Wood.
