Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep to get a local release

PSP News | New Zealand's getting it, too.

Though not quite precise with the dates, fans of of the uber popular Disney/Square hybrid action RPG series Kingdom Hearts should be happy to know that Birth By Sleep, the next instalment in the franchise for PSP is coming to Australian (and New Zealand) shores.

Slated for a Q3 release 2010, Birth By Sleep follows a story set way before the existence of Sora, back when the world was controlled by a bunch of Keyblade Masters. Of course things go awry and you take the reigns of three new characters; Aqua, Terra and Ventus and go on an epic journey of probably saving the world from darkness and such.

The gameplay is similar to its PS2 predecessors, and be the first in the series to have a multiplayer component. Hopefully we'll be able to get an official release date soon, but for now fans can be happy it's actually coming.

the gaming news posts for the release date for Birth by Sleep have been a bit surprising. I read them and they sound like there surprised this little Japanese game is making its way around the world.
I can't wait. I've played my way through and loved all the Kingdom Hearts games I've gotten my hands on. Bring it on.

I only just recently (back in January) had the chance to play through the Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 when I finally decided to buy a PS2 (just to play those two). Loved every minute of them, and I'm now super excited for BBS.

Nice to hear, but it will probably come out a couple of months after the American release, so it will more than likely be redundant then. I'm probably wrong, though, because I don't really know when it'll be out in America. It just seems to be that way a lot of the time.

Looks like I need to buy a PSP just for this game!

But there's an error in the article. 358/2 Days had multiplayer so it isn't a series first.

I'm sure this will attract some attention due to Zack Fair being in the game. Going from the screenshots I've seen of him, he seems like hes as cheerful and outgoing as ever.

woohooo, go zack(I knew this awhile ago, but still..). I just finished all three hundred missions on finalfantasy7crisiscore, I love that game with all my heart. Though kingdom hearts has more my type of gameplay, so i'm guessing this'll be even beter
