Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage- is an upcoming 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.

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."
