Mobile Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent hits the west this year

Even more paths to travel

The mobile Octopath game is finding its way over to new regions. Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent will be coming to North A𓆏merica and Europe sometime this year.

Announced earlier today and shared on Twitter, Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent is a mobile prequel to the 2018 RPG Octopath Traveler. It maintains the look and feel of Octopath, but obviously takes place on a phone rath🃏er than Steam or Nintendo Switch.

OCTOPATH TRAVELER: Champions of the Continent (English ver.) will launch in North America and Europe in 2022!
We'll have more to share in mid-February, so keep an eye on the official Facebook page for the latest news!

It’s already out in Japan, but this will bring the extra story of the Octopath world stateside. While a mobile prequel game may not be something hardcore RPG fans would jump at, maybe games like Fantasian have loosened the cap a bit. And you really can’t beat that art. Here’s a from the lead-up to the Japanese release:

Over the last four years Octopath Traveler has become a pretty notable RPG, at least in terms of its looks. Games like Eiyuden Chronicle and the Dragon Quest 3 remake are a similar “HD-2D” art style.

Tomoya Asano and his team are currently ramping up to the launch of another HD-2D game, too. Triangle Strategy is set to launch on March 4, with its own new-retro look and the team’s own spin on the tactics genre.

We’ll hear more about when, exactly, this Octopath prequel will arrive later on. The stu📖dio is currently teasing some news to come in mid-Febru🦋ary.
