Octopath Traveler 0 announced

During the Nintendo Direct, that was broadcasted earlier today, Square Enix has announced Octopath Traveler 0, an HD-2D turn-based RPG featuring a standalone story set before Octopath Traveler.

In Octopath Traveler 0, players will experience a story of restoration and retribution over the divine rings in an epic saga that unfolds across the realm of Orsterra. The game features returning core elements from the series, and–for the first time in series history–players will be able to customize their own protagonist and rebuild their hometown after it has been destroyed. The story builds upon that of the mobile game Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent, adding new story content where players rebuild their town, and reinterpreted story beats unfold throughout. Fans familiar with the series can enjoy the return of its iconic HD-2D art style, the ability to interact with other characters in various ways through Path Actions, and the Break and Boost battle system which can turn the tide of battle.

Octopath Traveler 0 will be released on 4 December 2025 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC via Steam and Microsoft Store.
