Join the club of people who don't know what's happening in the Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue release trailer

Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue is out now, and here's a release trailer to prove it.

What's going on here? Even just sorting out what the heck Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue is can cause headaches, so let's just assume the plot makes sense to someone.

Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue collects up the last few bits of the Kingdom Hearts saga not included in the previous two HD Remix complications - most notably Dream Drop Distance, originally released on 3DS in 2012.

But it also features new material, including a playable sequence linking into and providing a taster of Kingdom Hearts 3. That's exciting, isn't it?

If you're a big Kingdom Hearts fan and played all the original games as they come out, this volume is all you need to prepare for Kingdom Hearts 3. If this is your first time round, though, this one's probably less important than the previous two releases.

For the full picture I guess you could try all three. Alternately, skip all that and consult Alex's guide to everything you need to know about Kingdom Hearts 3.
