Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days sees delays

Yep, TGS has began, and it seems that, rather than blowing us away with a new Kingdom Hearts game, Square have decided to focus on the three currently in development… by giving us bad news…

How bad is the news? Not awful. Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days has had its Japanese release date delayed until February 2009. For those who may remember, they were telling us last TGS that the game would be released in the middle of 2008, then that became December 2008, now its January 2009. Will it be delayed again? Who knows, but at least we can be sure that Square is taking all the time needed on the title!

In other news, a new 358/2 Days trailer has been shown at the event, and while nothing hugely incredible was revealed, we can confirm a few things that have been shown: Xion’s hair is black (kinda the opposite of Namine’s, I see…), and there is a scene where Axel and Roxas talk… on Destiny Islands!!

Yep, Destiny Islands are featured in some way in 358/2 Days. Cool bananas? I think yes! XD

Stay tuned for more Kingdom Hearts-related news in the coming days!

Additionally, you can check out a full demo report here at IGN, straight from the show floor! See what you think!
