Square Enix has announced that Infinite Undiscovery, an Xbox 360 exclusive RPG, is to be released in North America on September 2, with Europe following on September 5.
Infinite Undiscovery is a collaborative project with tri-Ace Inc. (Star Ocean and Valkyrie Profile) and promises to be the first in a completely new line-up of Square Enix titles for the Xbox 360 platform.
“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,” said John Yamamoto, president and chief executive officer of Square Enix, Inc. and Square Enix, Ltd. “This is something that we have aimed to do for a long time and we look to continue to deliver worldwide gaming experiences across all platforms well into the future.”
The moon, known as the throne of gods, rested peacefully in the heavens, with man enjoying great prosperity by harnessing its great power. That is until Dreadknight and his menacing horde, the Order of Chains, ensnared the moon and bled life from the planet. The once enchanted lands were transformed into wastelands and their inhabitants lived in fear.
The fate of the world now lies in the hands of a young boy named Capell and a small band of brave warriors who have gathered under Sigmund the Liberator to free the world from the grip of the Order.
Infinite Undiscovery puts players in a real-time world where every decision made leads to countless discoveries and affects every encounter. Combat, exploration and other actions will all take place within the same environment, with the game said to seamlessly shift between each gameplay element.
Players will have a choice of 18 characters from which they must assemble a party with which to battle. Battles will also require multiple methods to defeat the enemy, with the most obvious solution rarely being the correct action. It will also be important to choose the best combination of characters for job at hand, whether that means going for a bow-equipped ally or a skilled magic user is up to the player.
