Square Enix has announced its lineup of games to be shown at E3, and, while there may be surprises yet to be revealed, the company has already unveiled a rather big one. Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded, a new DS game by 358/2 Days developer h.a.n.d., will be on display at the show.

The game sounds like an action-RPG remake of the Japan-only mobile game Kingdom Hearts: Coded, in which a virtual Sora retraces his steps through the original Kingdom Hearts. "Jiminy Cricket is looking over the journal he used to document his first adventure with Sora when he discovers a mysterious message," according to the description of Re:Coded included in Square's E3 press release. "He didn't write it – so how on earth did it get there? King Mickey is determined to find out, so he and his friends decide to digitize 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."

The game currently has a "TBD" release date. Square Enix didn't specify how much of the game would be shown, but considering it's just been announced, we expect little more than a trailer.

"I think this is the 4th spinoff game made after Kingdom Hearts 2. They are really focusing on handhelds lately with the series.

This wouldn't be so much of an issue if we knew anything about KH3."

1. The KH3 Team is working on FF13 - Versus, i woudl rather wait for KH3 and have it developed by the team that knows KH than another team for the next big console release.

2. This game is a remake of KH : Coded, this was only available in Japan (I think , not sure if it made it to the US) on a mobile phone. I actually like the fact that i can now play it as before there was no way i could.
