tri-Ace, the Japanese developer responsible for the long running Star Ocean series, appears to be hiring for a new PlayStation 5 project. It's currently looking for 3D VFX artists to help "create future action RPGs with the high-quality and exhilarating presentation of next-gen consoles" (thanks Gematsu for the translation).
The studio's most recent work was Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness, which released on PS4 in 2016. It received middling critic reviews and the fan reception wasn't all that good, so hopefully this next project is a step forward.
Do you have hopes for a new Star Ocean game? Or maybe something different? Shoot for the stars in the comments section below.

C'mon tri-Ace. Make a Radiata Stories sequel!
Tri-Ace has been scrounging for awhile after SO5 bombed. Remastering everything they can and focusing on mobile games. Hopefully they can make something great and really get something going again. It's been a minute
Resonance of Fate sequel would be sweet. The only turn based JRPG I ever enjoyed. Even got every achievement back on the 360. Awesome game!
In other words: WATCH THIS SPACE!
Be nice if they put out Second Story PS4 port in English after all this time.
A big problem with Star Ocean is that tri-Ace actively hates their fans. As I recall, SO3 has a trophy that takes 40 hours by itself and is literally just pressing the confirm button every 90 seconds or so.
If you're looking for a decent space jrpg, check out Cosmic Star Heroine.
@Milktastrophe I have been looking at Cosmic Star for awhile specially on my Vita but have been hesitant.
Would be nice to have a big budget Star Ocean game. Also ports of all the games on PS5 or Steam
@pharos_haven go for it. Cosmic star heroine is an excellent game. I platinumed it on vita and had a wonderful time doing so.
If this turns out to be true, I would personally hope for a new Star Ocean game. I love all the Star Ocean games. Even if some are better than others, I feel like all of them are pretty good. Although Integrity and Faithlessness is easily the worst out of them in my opinion, it still had a lot that I personally enjoyed.
I’m also super hopeful that Square Enix will at least release an HD remastered port of Star Ocean: Second Evolution, like they did for Star Ocean: First Departure in 2019. Even if that’s all we get, I’ll be super happy since I love the Star Ocean games.
I want a Star Ocean 2 PS4 Remaster and Star Ocean 6 on PS5, pretty please!
We already have Star Ocean 1 and 3-5 on PS4, so we only need those two games!
Hi there fellow gamers.
I would love if their next game was a Star Ocean game similar to my favourite of the series: Star Ocean 2: Secon Story.
That was the very first rpg that had that sci-fi space element that i always wanted in a rpg.
With Tales Of Arise looking pretty interesting, Final Fantasy XVI with medieval setting with crystals storyline and whatever this one turns out to be, it´s great to see more jrpgs coming back with a bang. Exciting times for the fans including myself.
Cheers, stay safe and happy gaming to us all
@Shigurui Hi there friend.
You were able to get every achievement on Resonance of Fate?
Kudos to you.
I remenber the game being kinda hardcore.
Or maybe I was just bad at the game 😜
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
@RaZieLDaNtE - I did indeed. Yeah it's a pretty brutal game difficulty wise, it has a really steep learning curve along with some ridiculous difficulty spikes. The end game Neverland dungeon is absolutely insane!
I really dislike turn based games usually but something about RoF just clicked with me and I fell in love with it. It definitely struck a chord as I'm doing it all over again, I'm about halfway to earning the platinum on the PS4 version.
