The classic role-playing game’s remake is due out for the same platforms later this year, on November 2.

Star Ocean: The Second Story R turned a fair few heads with its announcement earlier in the year, thanks to its promise of a visually stunning ground-up remake of one of the best instalments in Square Enix’s sci-fi role-playing franchise. With the game out in less than a couple of months, Square Enix has also dropped a demo for those who want to dip their toes in the water to see how it’s taking shape.

That’s right, a free demo of Star Ocean: The Second Story R has seen a surprise release on all platforms that the game itself will be available on upon release. The demo will allow players to experience the game’s opening section, and as tends to be the case with most Square Enix demos, you will be able to carry over your demo progress into the full game and pick up right where you left off.

Star Ocean: The Second Story R is set to launch in full for PS5, PS4, Nintendo Switch, and PC on November 2.
