Infinite Undiscovery, the first in a series, will be out Septemeber 2 for North America, Septemeber 5 for Europe, and Japan on Septemeber 11. Certainly strange they're getting a game last, especially an RPG, but president John Yamamoto says they plan on making upcoming releases global events.

The Last Remnant, powered by the Unreal Engine 3 (as was Lost Odyssey), will be on the Xbox 360 this winter; its PS3 window is unknown.

Star Ocean 4: The Last Hope is set for the 360, to which it will be exclusive, in 2009.

(Note: the screenshots pictured are in order of the games as listed previously, two each.)

It looks as if 2008 is set to be the year of the role-playing game. Earlier this year Mistwalker's Lost Odyssey was released on the Xbox 360, and Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors was recently released on the Wii. Portables also picked up some action, with titles including The World Ends With You and Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings coming to the Nintendo DS.

As far as the rest of the year goes, it's looking pretty good too. Two long-awaited epics are on the way--Peter Molyneux's Fable 2, and Denis Dyack's Too Human. On top of that, Baroque is coming in July for the Wii and PlayStation 2, and Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core is imminently due for release in Europe, with both already out Stateside.

And if all those games weren't enough, Square Enix has added another two RPGs to the roster this year, with a third to follow in 2009.
