Infinite Undiscovery

RPG from the Star Ocean team set for a September 5th release in PAL regions.

London (22nd May 2008) – Square Enix Ltd., the publisher of Square Enix® interactive entertainment products in Europe and other PAL territories, today announces that INFINITE UNDISCOVERY™ will be released across all PAL territories on 5th September 2008, exclusively on the Microsoft Xbox 360™ system.

The game will be released simultaneously worldwide, with the North American version shipping from 2nd September and available across the rest of Europe and other PAL territories on 5th September.

The first in a completely new lineup of Square Enix titles for the Xbox 360, this fantasy RPG (role-playing game) is a collaborative project with fan favorite development studio tri-Ace Inc. (STAR OCEAN® and VALKYRIE PROFILE®).

John Yamamoto, president and chief executive officer of Square Enix Ltd. comments, "With the simultaneous release of INFINITE UNDISCOVERY, Square Enix is entering an exciting new period of delivering great gaming experiences to our fans all around the world at the same time, creating new global communities.

INFINITE UNDISCOVERY envelops players in a lush real-time world where any decision can unveil a myriad of discoveries and affect every encounter. The team that created a new standard for RPGs by seamlessly transitioning from battle to field in the STAR OCEAN series now creates a new benchmark for the genre, perfectly marrying traditional tri-Ace elements with the technological possibilities discovered on the Xbox 360. The experience is enhanced with a soundtrack by composer Motoi Sakuraba from the STAR OCEAN and VALKYRIE PROFILE series.

About INFINITE UNDISCOVERY

Story

Since ancient times, people have believed the moon to be the throne of God, and have prospered by harvesting its energy.

This is the story of a world where the destiny of man is bound to that of the moon.

One fateful day, the moon was chained to the earth by an army of men calling themselves the Order of Chains. Led by a man whom the awestruck people christened the Dreadknight, the Order proceeded to ravage the land, and all lived in fear.

Our story begins deep within a forest, inside a prison governed by the Order of Chains. A boy named Capell is being held captive having been mistaken for a hero of the people...

Suddenly, a girl named Aya comes to Capell's rescue, helping him to escape. She is a companion of Sigmund, a hero dedicated to ending the tyranny of the Order of Chains. When they meet soon after, Capell and Sigmund discover to their astonishment that they are virtually identical in appearance...like twins.

Capell's life is about to change forever. Unbeknown to him, he is destined to decide the fate of the world.
