Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage- is ninth game in the Kingdom Hearts series. It is releasing exclusively for the PlayStation 4 system as a part of the complete Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue package. The story acts simultaneously as an epilogue to Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep as well as a prologue for the upcoming Kingdom Hearts III, following Aqua's journey through the Realm of Darkness. The game is developed through Unreal Engine 4, acting as a sort of technical demo meant to give players a taste of Kingdom Hearts III's gameplay. The entry is roughly the size equivalent of a single Kingdom Hearts III world.[citation needed]

Chronologically, the main events of 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage- occurs in the past after the events of the Secret Episode from Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix and coincides with the events from Kingdom Hearts. However, it is told as a story by King Mickey and Yen Sid to Riku and Kairi in the present (after the events of Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance) and leads to the events that will occur in Kingdom Hearts III.

Story

"A completely new playable episode that links to the story of KINGDOM HEARTS III, taking place after the storyline of KINGDOM HEARTS Birth by Sleep played from the perspective of Aqua."
