October 9, 2008 7:50 AM

Developer tri-Ace's first Xbox 360 release of the Star Ocean role-playing franchise will hit North American retailers on March 3, 2009, publisher Square Enix announced today.

Alongside some new screenshots, the company noted that the Japanese version of Star Ocean: The Last Hope and its action-based battle system will arrive a few weeks before, on February 19, 2009.

Today's announcement but made no mention of an eventual release on other platforms. However, the title was once again not billed as an Xbox 360 exclusive, suggesting that a later PlayStation 3 version is possible, a la Square's The Last Remnant.

Always enjoyed the series. Found the story a bit "meh" ish in the last title, but the gameplay and characters were still pretty fun.
