The Octopath Traveller mobile game gets a new trailer and release window

Square Enix is one step closer to releasing Octopath Traveller: Champions of the Continent with a new trailer and release window. The mobile-exclusive title works as a prequel to the Switch game, with the glorious HD-2D graphics headed to an even smaller screen. For those who really can’t wait to get back into the world of Octopath, there’s a closed beta coming too.  

Taking place in the Orsterra region from the previous title, the Octopath Traveller: Champions of the Continent trailer picks up its narrative a few years before the events of the predecessor. From what we can see so far, it doesn’t look like the developer has compromised on either the deep JRPG battle mechanics, or the spectacular pixel art design, which is pretty impressive for a mobile title. It shows just how much Square is looking to push into mobile markets, too, especially with the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster series having recently concluded. 

If you’re one of the many fans eager to participate in the closed beta test, it’s easy to apply. Head to the Google play store and pre-register to put yourself forward as one of Square Enix’s international guinea pigs, before the full game launches. There’s no cost associated, and you’ll be one of the first in the west to experience the expansion of the Octopath world and lore.
