Star Ocean: The Divine Force release date, trailers, gameplay, and more

Aside from old-school JRPG fans, the mention of Star Ocean might not mean much. The series has always been two or three steps down in popularity from the likes of Final Fantasy or even Dragon Quest, but those who have dug into this slightly more obscure series are quick to sing its praises. First established in 1996, the Star Ocean games have come at an irregular pace, with only five total games in the mainline series released so far, the latest being Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness in 2016. That game, and the previous entry, were not all that well-received, leaving fans unsure about this smaller franchise’s future.

Sony’s October 2021 State of Play event wasn’t full of many big surprises, but the announcement of Star Ocean: The Divine Force was one that meant a lot to fans of the series and also has made fans of JRPGs in general curious about this strange game that mixes fantasy elements into a sci-fi-inspired universe. The trailer we got was only a brief two and a half minutes, but more information has been trickling out. If you were intrigued by this unique-looking JRPG from the masters of the genre, Square Enix, here’s everything we know about Star Ocean: The Divine Force.

Star Ocean: The Divine Force has been given the release date of October 27, 2022.

While the trailer made for Sony’s State of Play event only listed Star Ocean: The Divine Force as coming to PlayStation 4 and PS5, it will also be coming to Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and S, as well as PC. It will hit every platform day and date, so there’s no platform exclusivity, timed or otherwise. Obviously, we expect the current-generation versions to have benefits over the previous ones, but for now, we don’t know what those differences will be. Graphics,
