Square Enix’s Octopath Traveler franchise is slowly climbing up to being a renowned IP alongside the likes of Final Fantasy & Dragon Quest. Since the first game release, it has explored new platforms from the Nintendo Switch all the way to Google’s now-closed Stadia as well. Even more, it also went ahead and delivered a sequel to the series as well.
In 2023, Octopath Traveler II arrived with an even more ambitious campaign & experience. The following year, Square Enix committed to the Xbox version of the game as well, which showed how much involvement the firm is in keeping the series in everyone’s crosshairs. Square Enix even released a mobile prequel in Japan previously, too.
Well, at the Nintendo Direct, Square Enix officially announced Octopath Traveler 0. You can watch the announcement trailer in the video below:
“Start from zero in a personal quest of restoration and retribution! In this prequel to the first OCTOPATH TRAVELER, journey to stop powerful villains using fast-paced, turn-based combat. For the first time in the series, play through the eyes of your own custom protagonist and rebuild your hometown.
“With over 30 recruitable party members, an engaging story, and all-new features and returning core elements like the iconic HD-2D graphics and the Break & Boost battle system, players embark on a journey of their own creation,” the description for the game reads in the press release.
