According to the US edition of the Official PlayStation Magazine, Square Enix has commenced the development of Kingdom Hearts II. The sequel to the highly popular 2002 action RPG will appear on PlayStation 2 sometime in late 2004.

This information comes off the heels of a comment by Disney consumer product president Andy Mooney, who at a press conference on last week's Games Convention 2003 in Germany, had confirmed that Kingdom Hearts II was in development. While Kingdom Hearts II is very likely to be officially unveiled at the upcoming Tokyo Game Show 2003, Square Enix has yet to announce its line-up for the show.
