Kingdom Hearts Rumor: Possibly in Development
A recent rumor has surfaced regarding the Kingdom Hearts series, pointing to a potential remake of Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. Originally launched in 2009 on the Nintendo DS, this spin-off focused on the character Roxas and his experiences within Organization XIII. Although its storyline was included in Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix as high-definition cutscenes, the gameplay itself has not seen an update until possibly now.
Details of the Rumored Remake
According to the rumor, the full remake of Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days is reportedly being developed by Japanese studio h.a.n.d., which also handled the original DS version. This remake could release in 2025 and might omit certain elements, such as the original’s multiplayer missions.
The decision to pursue this project seems to stem from Square Enix’s efforts to fill the gap before the launch of Kingdom Hearts 4, which is not anticipated until 2026 at the earliest. By revisiting 358/2 Days, Square Enix could maintain fan interest while bridging the timeline between major releases.
Credibility and Caution
Despite the excitement surrounding this potential news, the source of the rumor a post on 4chan raises questions about its reliability. While some leaks on 4chan have proven accurate, the anonymity of the platform means the credibility of these claims can’t be confirmed easily. For now, fans should approach this rumor with a healthy dose of skepticism.
Why This Matters
If true, this remake would be significant for longtime Kingdom Hearts fans. The original 358/2 Days gained praise for its narrative and character development but was limited by the DS’s hardware capabilities. A full remake could introduce modernized gameplay and enhanced graphics, offering a deeper experience to a new generation of players.
Closing Thoughts
While the future of Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days remains uncertain, these rumors have sparked renewed discussions within the fanbase. Whether this remake becomes reality or remains speculation, one thing is clear: Square Enix’s Kingdom Hearts series continues to capture the imagination of players worldwide.
Stay tuned for official announcements and updates as more information becomes available.
