Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix: Disney Trailer Boosts Sales? Interactive Studios Video Focuses On Featured Disney Characters

Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix has been given a new trailer by Disney Interactive Studios and Square Enix, DigitalSpy.com reports, leaving many wondering if it boosted sales for the game.  

The video focuses on the Disney characters featured within the games included in the HD collection - over 100 Disney characters appear in the titles, including Goofy and Donald, who venture alongside main protagonist Sora, DigitalSpy.com also reports.

Square Enix will release a 2.5 version of Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix if the game remains popular, Shinji Hashimoto, producer of the game's seriers, revealed to IGN.

"If everyone plays 1.5 HD Remix, if everyone likes it and everyone supports us, then 2.5 HD Remix could happen. So at this stage, we just have to encourage people to play 1.5 HD Remix!" Hashimoto told the website.

"The fact is that the main focus of the series is Sora and Riku; how their friendship develops, but also how they grow up - after so many years, the players' personal growth is closely tied to thegame's story at this point, so that's the most important thing about the series and what we want to put into the game."

The release of Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix has also prompted announcements as it relates to the release date of Kingdom Hearts 3.

While Kingdom Hearts 3 has been confirmed for a release, there is no word on an official date for the game's arrival.

But speculation suggests Square Enix would be awaiting the development of FlowMotion technology on next-generation consoles Playstation 4 and Xbox One to release the game.

"Square Enix could take full advantage of the next gen consoles and give gamers an open expansive Disney world which would be perfect for FlowMotion. We could also fill up the expansive world with Disney characters that we could interact with," a source revealed to SidhTech.com.
