Shinji Hashimoto announced earlier that a new Kingdom Hearts game will be revealed at the E3. Well, Kingdom Hearts Re:coded, seems to be it. It's not a new game, it's just a remake of Kingdom Hearts coded, which is only released in Japan on mobile phones. Kind a disappointment...

Currently no plans for DLC Final Fantasy XIII

Posted by Zidane007nl on 18 February 2010, 10:47 - 0 comments

There were some rumors going on about Final Fantasy XIII getting downloadable content, but a few days ago Square Enix has stated that they currently don't have any plans for DLC.

In an interview with producer Yoshinori Kitase and director Motomu Toriyama by PlayStation.Blog.US said the following:

"Regarding the DLC content, we feel that the final product is 100% enjoyable…it’s the complete package. So we’re not planning any DLC at this time. In regard to the rumored cut content, we feel it was taken out of context. There are a lot of ideas that are brought to the table, and then the team takes the best ideas out of those, and the final product is polished that way. There was content that were “ideas” that didn’t make the final content, but the team isn’t looking to release that as downloadable content."

If the company decides in the future to release DLC, we will let you know.

Vagrant Story

In the latest newsletter that was sent today Square Enix has announced that Vagrant Story will be released on the European PlayStation Network soon.

"Way back at the dawn of time (better known as the year 2000), a certain video games company called SQUARE made a game called VAGRANT STORY, which stormed the charts, became a genre-defining classic and, amongst other things, garnered a perfect score from Famitsu magazine - so pretty much business as usual for character design god Akihiko Yoshida. But the great news is that SQUARE ENIX are bringing it to the PS3 and the PSP - no confirmed date yet, but it'll be soon!"

At first Square Enix said that the game will be released tomorrow, but it seems the date was wrong.
