Kingdom Hearts III co-director, Tai Yasue, has refused to rule out the possibility of Square Enix bringing the original Kingdom Hearts games to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Speaking during a chat with IGN, Yasue-san said that Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix and HD 2.5 Remix came about as soon as work commenced on the third installment in the Disney-Square RPG series.
While those games remain on last-generation platforms, the company is well aware that fans would be eager to see those titles make the transition to Sony’s latest home console.
"When we first came up with the idea for Kingdom Hearts III, it was always 1.5, then 2.5 and we were always thinking about those three titles at the same time," said Yasue-san. "I think [putting the games on PS4] is something we’ll explore. We understand what our players want, so we will explore the possibility. I’m not making any announcements though, we can’t make any announcements yet!
"It’s a big old question," he said of a PS4 1.5/2.5 HD Remix. "There’s a lot of things we need to think of when we consider consoles. One of them is what our players want, so we will definitely consider that. But there’s also schedule constraints, as we really don’t want the development of Kingdom Hearts III going later, so we have that to think about. We’ll consider all these things and come to a decision."
Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 Remix is out in North America and Europe this week.
