Square Enix has announced today that Kingdom Hearts Re:coded will soon be completed, with a release date scheduled for January 11. If you're in Japan then you'll be able to pick it up this Friday.
Set after the events in Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts Re:coded let's players revisit events and characters from the previous games in an attempt to solve the mystery discovered by Jiminy Cricket.
Here's the story:
Jiminy Cricket is looking over the journal he used to document his first adventure with Sora when he discovers a mysterious message. He didn't write it – so how did it get there? King Mickey is determined to find out, so he and his friends decide to digitise the journal and delve into its deepest secrets.
Inside this "datascape" dwells a second Sora who is about to embark on a grand adventure of his very own.
Featuring a new custom avatar system, a variety of different play systems and all new mechanics, Kingdom Hearts Re:coded will be available on January 11 in North America on the Nintendo DS.
