The latest issue of Game Informer has unearthed details on Square-Enix's new RPG - The Last Remnant. Look for it to hit next-gen consoles next year, here are the full details:

- It will be released Spring 2008 on next-generation consoles and will be a 1-player RPG

- One thousand years ago humanity came into contact with Remnants. These magical fragments of a bygone era were once used to promote peace across the world. Soon, as the rift grew between those who ruled and those who obeyed, the remnants ceased being instruments of balance, and instead became paths to immeasurable power. Where once there had been peace, only bloodshed remained.

- It will be released simultaneously in U.S. and Japan

- Remnants vary in size and can take the form of machines, beasts, and weapons.

- 4 races revealed: Mitra (humans), Yama (Large fish-like beings), Qsiti (small humanoid lizards), Sovanni (four armed cat like creatures)

- Battle System will not be passive and will include QTEs in certain instances. Fights still take place in a turn based frame work.

- Game will use the Unreal Engine 3. Guess this confirms it, as far as I know Epic has not ported the UE3 engine to Wii, so the "next-generation consoles" bit probably means that this title will be headed to the Xbox 360 and PS3.
