Editorial overview

Inside Kingdom Hearts 0.2: Birth by Sleep - A Fragmentary Passage

What it is

A short sequel to Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep that partially takes place during the events of the first Kingdom Hearts, A fragmentary passage gets its name from a hidden ending to BBS and tells the story of Master Aqua's ten-year journey through the Realm of Darkness. 0.2 acts as a prologue to the upcoming Kingdom Hearts III, and also as a demo of Kingdom Hearts traversal, combat, and graphics in Unreal Engine 4 as it will appear in KH3. This game is only playable as part of the collection Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue.

The premise

Following the events of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, the story follows Aqua's journey through the Realm of Darkness, where she will face her deepest fears in a story leading to Kingdom Hearts III.
