Next up we had Star Ocean: The Divine Force, an action RPG from Square Enix, that looks to celebrate the series’ 25th anniversary. This latest entry has robots, dragons and a beautiful planet which is in danger. We’re not 100% on what’s going on with the trailer, but it looks like an expansive adventure to say the least. The ‘Double hero’ mechanic, which allows players to make decisions based on the experiences of whichever protagonist was chosen, will guide the expansive story based in both science fiction or fantasy backgrounds. It’s out in 2022 for both PS5 and PS4 players.
Little Devil Inside
Little Devil Inside was billed as one of highlights of the State Of Play. It’s unique style, with the over world having the a look of a home made table top village, while the gameplay looks more like a 3D claymation style adventure game, we follow Billy as he is pulled into a world that gets stranger and stranger the more missions he is given to do. It’s coming at some point in 2022.
