Fans can travel back in time with the STAR OCEAN – THE LAST HOPE – 4K & Full HD Remaster this fall as the much-loved RPG gets a full HD remaster, to be released digitally on November 28, 2017 for the PS4 and PC via Steam.
Developed in partnership with tri-Ace, STAR OCEAN: THE LAST HOPE takes place at the beginning of the STAR OCEAN series timeline and is a full HD remaster with added 4K support and PC keyboard, mouse and controller support. The game takes players on a journey across the universe in an large, intergalactic story of survival where humanity must turn to the stars in search of a new home. Featuring strategic real-time combat, the remastered title also keeps the original deep Item Creation System and Private Action system that explores character relationships and subplots for a richer and more rewarding story, and exhilarating Blindside battle system, which fuses evasion and offense.
The game will be released digitally from the PlayStation Store and STEAM for $20.99, which is quite a weird price point. Square Enix really needs that extra 99 cents! Until December 12th, PlayStation Plus members and STEAM users who purchase the game will receive a 10% discount. Additionally, those who purchase on STEAM before December 12th will receive an exclusive downloadable mini-soundtrack featuring music from the game. Those who purchase from the PlayStation Store before January 8th, will receive an exclusive PS4 system theme and 12 PlayStation Network avatars featuring the main characters.
And if you purchase the game before the year 2005 you’ll get yourself a neat feature phone so you can text yourself in the future about how nice buying video games was before buying the standard edition of a game was nearly impossible. Okay, so maybe that one isn’t really an option, but you never really know.
