SquareEnix spilled some juicy news at this week’s E3 with heavy implications for the console front. Their game line-up indicates a shift away from Sony and the Playstation consoles. AgtFox at Evil Avatar has the press release.

First on the list is a re-release of the RPG classic Chrono Trigger for the Nintendo DS, with a new dungeon and wireless play. That game never gets old, and I look forward to playing it when its released towards the end of the year. SquareEnix is also porting Dragon Quest IV to the DS in September.

The release also provides more information on the strangely titled Infinite Undiscovery, an Xbox 360 exclusive tailored to more Western RPG sensibilities. The game, to be released in September, boasts a medieval setting and real time combat, as well as a dynamic world and situational battles that change depending on player choice, an unusual feature for SquareEnix.

The Last Remnant also differs from the classic RPG formula and centers around large-scale battles. This game will come out on both Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, although the PS3 release date has yet to be announced.

Two Star Ocean games appeared in the missive with 2009 release dates: Second Evolution for the PSP and The Last Hope, a prequel that sticks to the franchise’s traditional mechanics and is exclusive to the Xbox 360.

Earlier this week, it was announced that Final Fantasy XIII will be released on the Xbox 360, and on the same day as the Playstation 3 release. There has been no other news about the upcoming game so far. The loss of exclusivity is a severe blow for Sony, for whom Final Fantasy has been a core franchise since the birth of the Playstation.

With major releases scheduled for the DS, PSP, and especially the Xbox 360 and an absence of Playstation 3 news, other than the loss of exclusivity, SquareEnix appears to be moving away from their classic ally, or at least going multiplatform. This is good news for anyone who wants to enjoy J-RPGs without a Playstation.
