The game that was released back in 2018 has taken some big steps. We saw it released on different platforms. Starting with the Nintendo Switch, moving to Steam, Stadia, and all the way to Xbox One in 2021. Square Enix has taken a retro style for these games. For those eager to play the sequel, the game looks and plays exactly like the first one so that’s amazing. The game is set to release in February of next year.

Fire Emblem Engage Announced For Next Year
During the trailer, we were able to see a lot of new things coming to Octopath Traveler 2. The most important is the new cast of characters. Hikari, a katana-wielding warrior. Agnea, the dancer. Partitio, the merchant. Osvald, the scholar. Throné, the thief. Temenos, the cleric. Ochette, the hunter. And finally, Castti, the apothecary. Each new Octopath Traveler 2 character will have different patch actions during the day and night. Also, there is a chance that several stories will intertwine, making even more fun and engaging narrative. So far, the combat seems similar to the first which is great for those who loved the original game. Octopath Traveler 2 release date is almost here and you can already see the game’s page on the online store, however, pre-orders aren’t up yet.
