Square Enix isn’t giving hopeful signs…
Star Ocean Fes was held on May 20, which didn’t have a single word about Star Ocean 6. During the stream (which you can find here) if you can understand Japanese), Shuichi Kobayashi, a Square Enix producer, said the following:
„I understand, I know what else everyone would like to hear, but speaking frankly, it’s not that simple to make. If it could be made without tri-Ace, then surely it would be possible. But that’s not the case, is it? I’m saying please wait a little longer. Won’t you please wait a little longer? Please keep faith in us as we continue with Anamnesis. I’ll also do my best. That’s all I can say today, but I believe that everyone’s support will empower us to work hard.”
Star Ocean: Anamnesis launched in December 2016 in Japan – it’s a smartphone game. The RPG franchise’s last console installment was Star Ocean (5): Integrity and Faithlessness, which launched on PlayStation 4 in June 2016. tri-Ace is the developer of the franchise. As he mentioned the mobile game, it’s likely that they focus on that until it stops rolling in money…

GOG’s revenue couldn’t keep up with growth, the fact that we’re dangerously close to being in the red has come up in the past few months, and the market’s move towards higher [developer] revenue shares have, or will, affect the bottom line as well.](https://thegeek.games/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/the-gog-1-302x180.jpg)
