Kingdom Hearts HD II.5 ReMIX

Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX, stylized Kingdom Hearts HD II.5 ReMIX, is an HD remaster compilation of the Kingdom Hearts series and follow-up to Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX. It includes full HD remasters of Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix, and a collection of remastered cutscenes from Kingdom Hearts Re:coded. It marks the first time Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix will be made available outside of Japan.

History
In the credits of Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix, clips of the games featured in the collection were shown, hinting at the collection. Additionally, when IGN interviewed Shinji Hashimoto about Kingdom Hearts III, he stated that the studio would consider another HD collection if the reaction to the first one was positive enough.
