Square Enix is marking the 30th anniversary of the Star Ocean series in style, with the unexpected release of Star Ocean: The Second Story R on the Switch 2. This action-packed RPG remake is now available for purchase on the Nintendo eShop, priced at $49.99 or the equivalent in your region.

Gamers eager to dive into this sci-fi adventure should note that, similar to recent releases like Octopath Traveler 1 & 2, there's no option to upgrade from the existing Switch version. Additionally, save data will not carry over, so players will need to start fresh.
