Rumor: Kingdom Hearts HD Collection To Drop September 2012

For all you Kingdom Hearts fans out there! I myself am stoked!

Tetsuya Nomura has been hard at work with his team making Kingdom Hearts 3D for the 3DS, but apparently, they’re discussing a 10 year anniversary plan. 2012 marks the tenth year since the original Kingdoms Hearts became a massive hit amongst PS2 owners. While Square Enix has been pushing out more installments of the franchise, they’ve all been (except for Kingdom Hearts II) for handheld devices.

Could this be a release later this year? Let’s hope so!

Nomura stated to Japanese magazine Dengeki that there’s a lot of talk about a Kingdom Hearts HD Collection to celebrate the 10 year anniversary. He wants to bring newcomers into the franchise but realizes that those being introduced to the series need to understand the story starting with the original. Hearing talk about it coming from the studio is a great sign leading to something fans and newcomers may be interested in.
