With that said, it isn’t giving anything else away just yet, explaining that “we are currently in the last stretch, so we ask that you wait just a little bit more. According to an interview with Famitsu and spotted in Gamerant, Square Enix has now confirmed that development on Octopath Traveler 2 is going pretty well indeed.Īccording to the publisher, much of the development work on the title is already done, with the game already being “90% complete.” It seems as though the game is coming along in line with Square Enix’s plans for a February launch. Square Enix announces Octopath Traveler 2, a sequel to its popular pixel-art JRPG, featuring a colorful cast of eight new protagonists. While it may have only recently been announced, the sequel it’s apparently almost nearing completion.

The game itself is a gorgeous-looking follow-up to the original Octopath Traveler from 2018. I’ll do a quick example of how this would work, using Cyrus as the focal point. Excitingly, it looks like we may be seeing the title come to fruition sooner rather than later. This way, every traveler has unique skills to offer and a deeper moveset, but the developers don’t have to break their backs by programming each traveler with twice as many skills for every job (which saves work on animations, voicelines, etcetera). While the announcement came a bit out of the blue, it’s certainly got a lot of people excited for the next in the Octopath Traveler Series. Publisher Square Enix and developer Acquire revealed the stunningly-designed JRPG Octopath Traveler 2 during last week’s Nintendo Direct.
