HD2D RPG ‘OCTOPATH TRAVELER 0’ Launches 4th December, Play Anywhere Supported

Last week, Team Asano and publisher SQUARE ENIX announced two role-playing games—one of which slated to launch on PC via Steam/Xbox PC, Xbox Series (Play Anywhere supported)¹, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch consoles: ‘OCTOPATH TRAVELER 0’, an “HD2D” turn-based RPG featuring a standalone story set before the critically acclaimed original ‘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.
