Star Ocean The Divine Force – A 25‑Year Epic Ready for Action
It’s hard to believe a quarter‑century ago the very first Star Ocean game launched on our beloved consoles. Now, after seven mainline releases, spin‑offs, and even a mobile debut, the series finally gets brand‑new next chapter this year.
What we’ve learned at PlayStation’s State of Play
- Officially revealed in October – the title is Star Ocean The Divine Force.
- Developed by Square Enix and tri‑Ace; this will be a joint PlayStation 4 / PlayStation 5 launch in 2022.
- It’s the ultimate sci‑fi meets fantasy mash‑up – light‑years of tech paired with enchanted lands.
Key Features
- Multiple story paths: your choices shape the whole cosmic saga.
- A roster of wacky and heroic characters – there’s a lot more than just one “hero” on this voyage.
- Fly‑around freedom: take control of giant aircrafts or zoom across the skies.
- Three‑dimensional exploration: gigantic worlds where every pixel promises an adventure.
- Fast‑paced, furious action – combat erupts in a flash, keeping your adrenaline up.
Picture this: you’re thrust into two different civilizations – one from the future, one from the past. Pick your side and your entire crew shifts accordingly. You can add comrades on the fly, each gearing up for battle.
Why this matters
Think back to Tales of Arise’s dual protagonists. Star Ocean cuts the same playful gut: two main leads from opposite worlds, each unlocking a host of side‑kick allies. The result? A massive, warp‑speed open world that lets you hop between the skies and navigate a breathtaking arena, all while the universe hangs in the balance.
Take the wheel, soar into the future, and decide if you’ll be the hero or the villain for the last 25 years of this legendary series.
Ready to press play when the game drops later this year? Hope you’re as pumped as we are!
