Hey there, folks! Re:coded has come and gone but for you extra-keen Kingdom Hearts nuts there's always the novel to feast your eyes upon. Thanks to forum member pepe1092 we now know what the cover will look like and you'll be pleased to know we think it's extra cute!

The novel is only available in Japanese so far but if you know the language or are from the country, you can purchase the 290-page book from Square Enix's website, where it also lists the game as having a release date of July 28 2011 at a price of 800 yen (tax included). French fansite KHDestiny informs us that the novel has been written by Tomoko Kanemaki and illustrated by Shiro Amano, both of whom have worked on previous Kingdom Hearts manga.

Are you going to purchase the novel? How do you think it will compare with the game version of Re:coded or indeed the original mobile game coded? Tell us here on our thriving forums!

Until next time!
