Kingdom Hearts pre-orders on PS5 & Switch 2 with new box art

The legend of Kingdom Hearts is about to get a physical upgrade. Pre-orders for the Kingdom Hearts Collection 1-3 have landed on both the PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2, offering players the chance to unlock and dive into almost the entire iconic game series.

Set to launch on October 8, the collection is a treasure trove, packing everything from Kingdom Hearts Final Mix right through to Kingdom Hearts 3 + Re Mind (DLC). This means fans can jump ahead of the curve, getting access to classic adventures and expanded content well before the release of Kingdom Hearts 4 in late 2027.

Beyond the game itself, pre-ordering this collection comes with some seriously sweet exclusives. Choosing either platform grants access to special in-game keyblades—the platform-exclusive Midnight Blue Keyblade for the PS5, and the Long Night Keyblade for the Switch 2—along with a free exclusive poster. Plus, physical copies come complete with a reversible inlay featuring a 25th-anniversary design, making the collection a true collector’s item.

While the excitement builds, some attention has been drawn to the collection’s original box art. Though Square Enix stated that the initial design flaws, such as the questionable depiction of Donald Duck’s fingers and blurry clock towers, were the result of “human error,” the overall visual experience is certainly a topic for discussion. However, the marketing poster, which is double-sided, offers a chance to display the art to the first game if you prefer that route.

To ensure a simple and clean pre-order experience, fans are navigating various retail channels to secure their copies. Whether you are eyeing the PS5 or the Switch 2 version, the core promise remains: a stunning physical collection brimming with iconic lore and exclusive rewards. It’s time to prepare for the spooky season and collect the keys to the Kingdom hearts universe.
