Sora is not the only Kingdom Hearts representative heading to the Nintendo Switch soon. In fact, several Kingdom Hearts games will be making their way to the Nintendo Switch soon!

Announced during the final “Mr. Sakurai Presents” and on a Square Enix blog post, 10 Kingdom Hearts games will be debuting on Nintendo soon! These games include the standalone collections Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX Cloud Version, Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue Cloud Version, and Kingdom Hearts II + Re Mind (DLC) Cloud Version. Alternatively, all games can be purchased together in the Kingdom Hearts Integrum Masterpiece collection. As noted, all games will only be available over cloud.

Slightly confusing naming conventions aside, the games will follow Sora’s adventure from his first moments as a Keyblade wielder all the way to his most recent adventures. Additionally, each of the games will come with several of the spin-off stories, including Re:Chain of Memories and 358/2 Days. The former follows Sora and company after the conclusion of the first game while the second focuses on Roxas, a protagonist with connections to Sora.

The full list of Kingdom Hearts games coming to the Nintendo Switch is as follows:

Kingdom Hearts Final Mix
Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories
Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days (HD Remastered Cinematics)
Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix
Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix
Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded (HD Remastered Cinematics)
Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance HD
Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A Fragmentary Passage-
Kingdom Hearts x Back Cover (movie)
Kingdom Hearts III + Re Mind (DLC)

Square Enix has yet to announce when these games will come to the Switch.

Additionally, Square announced that the final story of the mobile game Kingdom Hearts Dark Road will release this winter and that the story for Kingdom Hearts Union x [Cross] will be able to be viewed through a theater mode.

Finally, as next year is the series’ 20^th anniversary, Square Enix will be gearing up for a special Kingdom Hearts 20^th Anniversary celebration.
