Square Enix Support Uploads, Removes Star Ocean: The Second Story R Banner

It seems another classic Star Ocean game could return. The official Square Enix Support Center page shared, then removed, a logo for Star Ocean: The Second Story R. This only appeared briefly on June 15, 2023. No remake has been officially announced yet. [Thanks, RPGSite!]

As a reminder, ahead of this Star Ocean: The Second Story R leak, the game’s appeared on a number of platforms. It first showed up on the PlayStation in Japan in 1998, with worldwide releases following. A Second Evolution PSP version in 2008 in Japan and 2009 worldwide. That version also eventually appeared on the PS3, PS4, and Vita in Japan.

This installment involved two storylines. People could follow either Claude, the son of Ronyx from the previous game, as he crash lands on a new planet called Expel or Rena, a woman from the planet. In each case, the party gets caught up in a world-spanning adventure to save the world.

We already saw one Star Ocean remake, though that was a few years ago. Square Enix released Star Ocean: First Departure R worldwide on the PS4 and Switch in 2019. That retold the story of Ronyx and Ilia as they encounter people like Roddick and Millie on the planet Roak to make a vaccine for a disease spreading on the planet that came from a person named Asmodeus in the past.

We could see Star Ocean: The Second Story R in the future. The game appeared on the PlayStation and PSP worldwide, then on the PS3, PS4, and Vita in Japan.
