With more news out of the Microsoft RPG Premiere 2008 in Japan, the Unreal Engine-powered The Last Remnant, published and developed by Square Enix, was announced to be a timed exclusive for the Xbox 360, with the PlayStation 3 version following at a later date. The game was originally touted to be the first multiplatform worldwide release for Square Enix.

The game features two main characters, one of whom, Rush Sykes, is geared to the Japanese, while the other, The Conqueror, is geared to the West. The game will release worldwide, or close to it, with Japan and North America near-guaranteed to see it, with a European release following shortly.
