Square Enix announced high-definition versions of Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories for PlayStation 3 via Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix at the Tokyo Game Show last month. But what about Kingdom Hearts II? Famitsu interviewed series director Tetsuya Nomura this week and inquired the same.
“Is there gonna be a high-definition version of Kingdom Hearts II later?” asked Famitsu.
“It’d be unusual if there wasn’t,” Nomura replied with a smile.
Nomura also shared new details on Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix. Sora and the other character models for Kingdom Hearts have been replaced with character models from Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance. And play operation is closer to Kingdom Hearts II. Regarding the Theater Mode, 70 percent are mainly old scenes made to be new cutscenes with voice.
“I’m happy to be restarting this title,” said Nomura. (Literal translation: “If this title becomes a restart, I’m happy.”)
