If this turns out to be an elaborate hoax, then I say give this person a standing O! Recently it was discovered, somehow, on LinkedIn that a Game Designer with the credits of Kingdom Hearts 2.9 and 3. I’ve heard of Kingdom Hearts 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3, but never a 2.9. The leak goes hand in hand with a schedule leak that was corrected at this past E3, when Square-Enix had Kingdom Hearts 2.9 listed then they removed it
The following information was taken from LinkedIn by KH13

This won’t be a collection of past games remastered and all on one disc, but it may be a prequel. Much like Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, this may be lower priced game that helps set up the story for Kingdom Hearts 3. Seeing how Sony has a history with the Kingdom Hearts franchise, this may also be coming to Xbox One but at a later time.
