LONDON, UK (June 14, 2024).

“For the daunting challenge of re-recording one of my most loved songs I enlisted the help of my friend and collaborator A. G. Cook. The new versions of “Simple and Clean”/“Hikari” are still the songs I wrote 22 years ago, but they come from a different place, a different viewpoint. They’re reflective, wiser, and kinder. There are no such thing as wins or losses in life, just what we take away from our experiences. I’m in awe of all the lives that KINGDOM HEARTS has touched and enriched, and looking forward to more to come.” – Hikaru Utada, singer-songwriter

Certain playable titles included in KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX and KINGDOM HEARTS 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue will feature textural updates to their graphics. Users who purchase KINGDOM HEARTS III + Re Mind (DLC) will also receive the new platform exclusive Keyblade, “Dead of Night.”
