Star Ocean: The Divine Force features a story that blends fantasy and sci-fi settings, a plethora of different playable characters, side stories, and a battle system that allows for thrilling fights using simple and instinctive controls.

Star Ocean The Divine Force will transport players to an expansive sci-fi fantasy world and take them on an exhilarating journey with fast-paced action combat, rich exploration and an original story.

Showcasing a diverse cast of playable characters, Star Ocean The Divine Force will tell a gripping story that seamlessly melds science fiction and fantasy elements and can be enjoyed by newcomers to the series and veterans alike. The game features dual protagonists, which offer different story perspectives and gameplay experiences: Raymond, the captain of the space trading ship, Ydas, and Laeticia, the princess-knight of a kingdom on an underdeveloped planet. Fate will bring Raymond, Laeticia, and several other ally characters together, all designed by renowned artist Akiman (Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness, Street Fighter series).

Although it’s the sixth mainline entry in the Star Ocean series, The Divine Force will be an excellent starting point for newcomers as it tells a completely original story with brand-new characters.

With Star Ocean celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, The Divine Force builds on that rich history with new features that are sure to delight for many years to come.
