A Square Enix game designer from Osaka has updated their LinkedIn page with the projects that they worked on at Square Enix from August 2014 to June 2015, and curiously "Kingdom Hearts 2.9" is listed here as a title for both PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4. For the 10 months that they reported working at Square Enix, they supposedly worked on both Kingdom Hearts 2.9 and Kingdom Hearts III, making the following contributions:

[Garrett Hawke]

That's an odd number...
I swear to god if they only port 3D to PS4 and not the other games I will cry.

 

[Toki767]

For PS3 too? Weird.

 

[Edge_Maverick]

Here we go!

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

The fuck? And no Xbox?

 

[Lnds500]

I'm dying.... Hold me...

 

[DKHF]

1.5, 2.5 and KH3D on PS4 in one package would be amazing.

And if this is real it also seems to confirm there is a Pixar world in KH3.

 

[Falk]

Nomura said 1.5 and 2.5 on PS4 is not coming.

...



......

.........

 

[GrizzNKev]

Please be a collection of all the previous games for ps4

 

[Auctopus]

Inside joke or typo. No way they're releasing a collection with that name.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Nomura said it's not coming.

...



......

.........

huehuehue

Inside joke or typo. No way they're releasing a collection with that name.

Have you seen the names of the KH games, lol.

 

[wmlk]

Inside joke or typo. No way they're releasing a collection with that name.

It's Tetsuya Nomura.

 

[The Last One]

Nomura said it's not coming.

...



......

.........

And I believed in him. Now look who created this thread lol

 

[DNAbro]

uhhh attraction flow in it?

 

[Hexa]

Yup. That sounds dumb enough to actually be the title. I'm in.

 

[LycanXIII]

That's an odd number...
I swear to god if they only port 3D to PS4 and not the other games I will cry.

If it was just 3D, it wouldn't be called 2.9
3D for PS3 only, the rest for PS4.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Inside joke or typo. No way they're releasing a collection with that name.

lol...you know how the first DS game was called.

 

[Ivan 3414]

That's an odd number...
I swear to god if they only port 3D to PS4 and not the other games I will cry.

KH isny a stranger to that.

 

[iosefe]

Nomura said it's not coming.

...



......

.........

Spoiler

avatar gets a lot of mileage

 

[Garrett Hawke]

If it was just 3D, it wouldn't be called 2.9
3D for PS3 only, the rest for PS4.

2.9 is a weird ass number and I don't think we can infer that it would or wouldn't just be DDD

It's just weird tbh

 

[Burbeting]

Inside joke or typo. No way they're releasing a collection with that name.

After naming their game "Dream Drop Distance" I will believe "2.9" any day.

That said, PS3 release is kinda weird, especially if 3D is included.

 

[Ray Down]

The fuck? And no Xbox?

Is it really that shocking?

Type-0 sold horribly on the system.

 

[HabeeNo]

1.5 + 2.5 + 3D = I'll drop another $60

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

It's going to be the Ground Zeroes to KH3's The Phantom Pain.

 

[Ahnez]

Attraction Flow is a Kingdom Hearts III mechanic

I don't think its a collection

 

[hydrophilic attack]

It makes sense that they would give us a chance to play DDD on ps4

 

[The Last One]

uhhh attraction flow in it?

KH III demo?

 

[CryptiK]

"Kingdom Hearts III" (PS4, Xbox One) Development (10 Months )
-Multiplayer planning and documentation

Ummm....

 

[Heartfyre]

I'll take that with a ladle of sodium chloride. I'd expect it to be 2.5 ReMix + DDD at best -- there's no way it's economical to release both remaster collections in one collection like that.

I'd love it, though. The 60FPS dream...

 

[Whompa02]

Multiplayer lol?

 

[iosefe]

the curios thing is it says attraction flow


this is 2.5 plus kh3 demo at the very least

 

[Vire]

2.9 fits the bill for increasingly stupid title names by Square Enix.

This checks out to me.

 

[Son Of D]

Nomura said 1.5 and 2.5 on PS4 is not coming.

...



......

.........

He said 1.5 and 2.5 weren't coming. 2.9 could be.

 

[EekumBokum]

Gummi ships are coming back, hmmmm.

 

[backflip10019]

The fuck? And no Xbox?

Yeah, that's too bad. Would've bought it if it released on the Xbox One.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

So the development of 2.9 started around the same time as Kingdom Hearts 3? Assuming the developer whose profile leaked this info started working on them from the start.

 

[DNAbro]

KH III demo?

oh shit please be true.

 

[sense]

Nomura said 1.5 and 2.5 on PS4 is not coming.

...



......

.........

they are not coming but 2.9 is

 

[Ridley327]

It's going to be the Ground Zeroes to KH3's The Phantom Pain.

You know, that's honestly not a bad comparison, as 3D sets up a lot of the conflict that's supposed to be taking place in KH3. It just happens to be a lot longer and has a pet simulator.

 

[Muzy72]

C'mon SE, a full KH collection for PS4! Please don't just be 3D!

 

[Takao]

Given PS3 is listed, possibly an internal build of KH3 using KH2's assets to try things out?

KH 2.9 is such a dumb name, which means it could be an actual product's name ...

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Nomura said 1.5 and 2.5 on PS4 is not coming.

...



......

.........

Which technically, he wouldn't be lying if they bundled it in '2.9'.

 

[RavenSan]

It's going to be the Ground Zeroes to KH3's The Phantom Pain.

....this actually sounds accurate.

 

[Dominator]

You know what, I would believe that title. Comes out before 3, is the necessary collection to get you all caught up, so why not name it literally a .1 number before the next mainline game?

 

[robotrock]

2.9 hahahahahahah

I'm IN

 

[RyanW]

No Xbox is disappointing

 

[kirblar]

I actually really like that name, it conveys what it needs to effectively.

 

[Metalingus5150]

2.9 The Kingdom Hearts HD collections in 1080p 60fps as well as Dream Drop Distance in 1080p 60fps. Hopefully.

 

[FelipeMGM]

Inside joke or typo. No way they're releasing a collection with that name.

lol, you havent really played teses games right?? Talk about weird names on the KH frachise

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Can anyone apply please and leak what they are working on?
