26

A little over a few months ago, Square Enix revealed Star Ocean: The Second Story R, a remake of the classic PS1 RPG with a stunning new 2.5D aesthetic, and as the game nears its launch in early November, the publisher is beginning to reveal more details.

For example, the remake’s animated opening video has now been revealed. Featuring multiple glimpses of its sci-fi fantasy world, its cast of characters and some of the key story moments that fans of the original will be familiar with, the cinematic is set to the theme song stella, performed by Japanese duo SUIREN.

Star Ocean: The Second R promises to be a sweeping overhaul of the original game, with fully recreated 2.5D visuals, new combat mechanics, a rearranged soundtrack (which also includes the original), full voice-acting and more.

It launches Nov. 2 for PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC.
