When the ESRB rated a game, it usually means that the release date is not too far along. This week, Square Enix’s Kingdom Hearts Re:coded received a rating from the ESRB.
Below is the full excerpt from the ESRB’s notice:
This is an action role-playing game in which players control a character named Sora, who must navigate a series of virtual fantasy worlds to decipher a hidden message. Players mostly use magic spells and a large key-shaped sword to strike and slash at creatures and classic Disney villains (e.g., Maleficent, Hades, Jafar). Some levels allow players to engage in top-down turn-based battles or traverse through side-scrolling levels while firing magic spells at waves of flying enemy creatures. Characters react to damage by grunting/crying out in pain or bursting into small orbs.
Re:Coded is scheduled for release this October in Japan. Will Kingdom Hearts fans able to see this game in North America by Winter?
