Fans of Disney-Crossover series Kingdom Hearts can finally rest easy: publisher Square Enix has confirmed that the DS installment of their hit-action RPG franchise will be coming to North America in mid-2009.

Developed by h.a.n.d. (maker of Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo’s Dungeon) and titled Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, the saga’s latest chapter takes place following the events of 2004 GBA Game Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories and star Roxas (essentially a clone of seires protagonist Sora) and his cohorts in the mysterious Organization XIII. Despite the change in heroes, the gameplay remains essentially the same as in the main Kingdom Hearts titles: you’ll still travel to worlds based on various Disney movies (such as Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Hercules, and the Nightmare Before Christmas) and use physical attacks and magic spells to fight evil Heartless in real-time battle.

For the first time in the series, you’ll also be able to team up with friends in a four player co-op mode that lets you each control a different member of Organization XIII. Additionally, you can expect extragavant cut-scenes, quality voice work, and a plot that reveals what happened between Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts 2.
