Star Ocean Developer tri-Ace Looks to Be Hiring for a PS5 RPG

The studio's last original game, Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness, released on the PS4 in 2016 to middling critical reception.

tri-Ace, the studio behind Star Ocean, Valkyrie Profile, and Resonance of Fate, appears to be hiring for a new RPG for PlayStation 5. Specifically, tri-Ace seems to be hiring 3D VFX artists. The news comes from a Twitter posted translated by Gematsu.

“Why not work with us to create future action RPGs with the high-quality and exhilarating presentation of next-gen consoles?” the listing asks. “We don’t wait for commercial engines to support new platforms like PS5, we develop [the engine] ourselves,” it continues.

tri-Ace hasn’t made an original AAA game in some time, opting largely to work on remasters and remakes of previous Star Ocean titles and a Resonance of Fate remaster in the last few years. The studio’s most recent original title was Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness, which released to mix reception in 2016. Hopefully, whatever tri-Ace is hiring for, whether it’s Star Ocean, a sequel to one of their other IPs, or something else entirely, will be good.
