Square Enix made a new trademark filing for "Star Ocean" in Japan.

Taro Yokō and Takamasa Shiba — creative director and producer for Square Enix's Drakengard 3 action role-playing game — revealed in an interview with Famitsu last month that the company is not currently making new installments to its Star Ocean video game series.

Star Ocean: The Last Hope was released for Xbox 360 in 2009 in Japan, North America, Australia, and Europe.
