Kingdom Hearts is the action role playing game series of video games from Square Enix. Now the publisher has revealed plans to release Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days for the Nintendo DS in Europe and across the PAL territories in October. The series has shipped more than 12 million copies worldwide since it first hit the scene in 2002.
In ‘Three-Five-Eight Days Over Two’ players follow Roxas from Kingdom Hearts II as they find out more about his time spent as a member of the mysterious Organization XIII. The game answers many questions through its story and is also the first Kingdom Hearts game in the series to feature a multiplayer mode.
Larry Sparks, Vice President of Brand, Square Enix products said, “The Kingdom Hearts series goes from strength to strength. With Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days we are delighted to be revisiting these wonderfully unique worlds and very excited about the addition of a multiplayer mode. I am sure fans will find this another thrilling and essential entry in the series.”
Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days also features the special near death ability borrowed from Final Fantasy VII, and a handy panel system to allow easy organization of weapons, spells and abilities. The game is scheduled to release for the Nintendo DS on October 9, 2009, while prices haven’t been revealed.
