PlayStation 4 received a healthy list of new titles during the Tokyo Game Show 2015 press conference today, with Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 at Square Enix’ forefront, Metro UK reports.
To start of the Tokyo Game Show 2015 off good, Square Enix released a couple of PlayStation titles to look forward to this coming months.
