Rumor: Kingdom Hearts coming out this year in Japan [update]

by Candace Savino { Jul 23rd 2008 at 2:00PM }

Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days' teaser website has turned into an actual website now, with menus to click on and everything else you'd come to expect from a Square Enix website. It's still lacking in compelling content, however, aside from a downloadable wallpaper and a beautiful background song. (You can also see the Japanese character profiles for Roxas and Axel, as well as browse through a few screens in the "Story" section.)

The other interesting 358/2 Days news is that in the manual for the DS remake of Dragon Quest V (which released last week in Japan), an ad for the game boasts "Coming 2008." We'll probably find out for sure at Square Enix's DKΣ3713 event whether this is true or just an advertiser's wishful thinking, although it's important to keep in mind that us non-Japanese gamers will have to wait for localization, anyway.

[Update: Everything on the website is translated into English here. Thanks, Monkey!]

Wait, i thought it had already been announced that KH: 358/2 would be released in Japan during the summer. I don't remember the source (i believe Famitsu, or a Nomura interview), but i'm certain it had a 'summer 2008' release date. So i was expecting it in august.

Now it's only 2008? That really sucks. If it's Q4 2008 in japan, we can expect it during Q2 2009 in english.

Anyway, it'll probably get a release date at SE's party in august.
