Square Enix announces October 27th as the release date for STAR OCEAN: THE DIVINE FORCE, the new entry in this action/RPG series. No fewer than three videos accompany the news, a Release Date Trailer, a Mission Report- #1 on Main Characters and Combat, and Raymond’s Story: Opening Movie. If you're nervous that digital copies of the game will be in short supply, preorders should be underway by tomorrow. Here's a bit on the game and early purchase bonuses:

STAR OCEAN THE DIVINE FORCE will be available as a physical and digital Standard edition across all platforms. There is also a Digital Deluxe Edition which will be available across all platforms. Players who purchase the Digital Deluxe Edition will get their hands on a beautiful soundtrack composed for STAR OCEAN THE DIVINE FORCE, as well as in-game items which include the Armour pack, Accessory pack, and Weapons pack.

Customers who early purchase any physical or digital edition of STAR OCEAN THE DIVINE FORCE will receive a mini game pawn pack*. Customers who pre-order either the Digital Standard Edition or Digital Deluxe Edition will also receive an in-game item weapon pack for the protagonists, the “Greatsword” for Raymond, “Lionheart's Blutgang”, and the “Dual blades” for Laeticia, “Flashing Naglering.”

The game features dual protagonists, who 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 the underdeveloped planet, Aster IV. 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).

*The digital early purchase incentive will be available until November 30, 2022.
* The physical early purchase incentive will be offered by select retailers and will be available while stocks last.
