As detailed by a report from Polygon, the "KH 2.8" collection includes three games called the "Dream Drop Distance," the "Back Cover," and the "0.2: Birth By Sleep." Each of which uniquely tells a tale that takes place from different parts of the whole story.

The "0.2: Birth By Sleep" and "Dream Drop Distance" which is formerly launched for the Nintendo 3DS are said to take place before "KH 3." "Back Cover," on the other hand, is not connected to the original "KH" story as it is set before the events of the original game.

Meanwhile, fans of "KH" are well aware that the well-celebrated game is celebrating its 15th year. Nomura made it clear that their team aims to finalize details for the anniversary but nothing has been decided as of this posting yet.

For this reason, players are advised to check on the official "Kingdom Hearts 3" website and Twitter to get latest updates on what's happening soon. In the meantime, check out the trailer of "KH 2.8" and let us know what you think by dropping a comment below.
