KINGDOM HEARTS Collection [I ~ III] Confirmed for Nintendo Switch 2 — October 8, 2026 Release

Nintendo confirmed during a Nintendo Direct that KINGDOM HEARTS Collection [I ~ III], a comprehensive bundle of the long-running Square Enix franchise, will arrive on Nintendo Switch 2 on 8 October 2026.

The announcement brings one of the most requested console collections to Nintendo’s next-generation hardware and was accompanied by an official trailer shown during the broadcast.

Background and collection details

KINGDOM HEARTS is a collaboration between Square Enix and Disney that began on the PlayStation 2 in 2002 and grew into a multi-title franchise blending Square Enix action-RPG design with Disney worlds and characters.

The newly announced KINGDOM HEARTS Collection [I ~ III] bundles three major packages: KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5+2.5 ReMIX, KINGDOM HEARTS HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, and KINGDOM HEARTS III plus the Re Mind DLC.

KINGDOM HEARTS III originally launched in 2019 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and the Re Mind expansion released in 2020.

What Nintendo revealed

During the Direct, Nintendo presented the collection as the definitive way to play the series on Nintendo Switch 2.

The company stated that players will be able to join Sora, Donald and Goofy as they travel through Disney and Pixar-inspired worlds, confronting Darkness and forging friendships with an iconic cast of characters.

Nintendo described the bundle as an accessible entry point for both newcomers and long-time Kingdom Hearts fans.

Platform history and availability

Entries in the Kingdom Hearts series have historically been available on PlayStation platforms and, over time, expanded to other systems and PC.

The release for Nintendo Switch 2 represents the first time this full compilation—combining 1.5+2.5, 2.8 and KINGDOM HEARTS III with Re Mind—will be packaged specifically for Nintendo’s next-generation handheld/console hybrid.

Release timeline and next steps

Nintendo set the launch date for 8 October 2026.

The Direct included a gameplay and montage trailer to accompany the announcement; Nintendo has not yet released a full breakdown of editions, pricing, or detailed eShop availability, and has left those specifics to be shared ahead of the launch.

Fans and industry observers can expect further updates from Nintendo and Square Enix as the release date approaches.
