After 3 years on the Epic Games Store, the Kingdom Hearts series is finally releasing on Steam
I'm still surprised the Kingdom Hearts series exists at all, let alone that it finally hit PC back in 2021. Since then the famously convoluted meeting of Square Enix JRPG with classic Disney icons has been exclusive to the Epic Games Store, but that's about to change.
According to the description on this yet-to-air Square Enix YouTube video (it's also embedded below, but it doesn't premiere until tomorrow) every Kingdom Hearts game belonging to the Dark Seeker Saga will hit Steam on June 13. I'm sorry, but that warrants a list, because there's a lot of Kingdom Hearts games, and their titles sometimes look like occult equations from antiquity.
Based on what Epic already has, we'll get:
Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5+2.5 ReMIX
Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue
Kingdom Hearts III + Re Mind
We may also get, though it's as yet unclear, Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory, which is a rhythm action take on the series that I didn't know existed until now.

Kingdom Hearts 4 was announced in 2022, by the way, and it looks like it may feature (drum roll) Star Wars, because everyone loves Star Wars, don't they?
