Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance HD is a full-HD remastered version of Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance. Tetsuya Nomura considers it a complete remake since the game goes from the Nintendo 3DS's two screens to one.[2]

The camera, battle system, and Reality Shifts were changed or recreated to fit the controller better, along with the mini-games concerning the Dream Eaters. Besides some graphical improvements and reworked animations, the whole game runs at 60 fps, a first for the series.[3]

Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance HD was first announced on September 15, 2015 as part of the Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue compilation and will be released worldwide in December 2016.[4]
