Square Enix has put a date to the European release of
Star Ocean: Second Evolution on the PSP. We will have it over here for our consumption as of February 13th - one calendar month from today.
The game, if it's alien and unfamiliar to you, is part of the fine Square tradition of updating its older titles and putting them on the PSP. This time its
Star Ocean: The Second Story getting the treatment. Second Evolution follows
Star Ocean: First Departure, a PSP remake of the first
Star Ocean game.
Square's pitch for
Second Evolution goes thusly - "Following the exploits of humankind’s journey across the stars, the
Star Ocean saga continues with the completely remastered
Star Ocean: Second Evolution. Featuring a revised game engine, an improved battle system and fully-voiced, all-new animated scenes displayed in 16:9 widescreen. With a newly added layer of character interaction, players can enjoy their journey into the rich
Star Ocean universe like never before."
Square has also set loose some fresh screens from the game. You can find some below and more (as well as more information on the game) over on SPOnG's
dedicated page.
