Octopath Traveler Releasing On Switch In July
In today's Nintendo Direct, Square-Enix presented Octopath Traveler, which they confirmed will launch this July.
The JRPG based on old school sensibilities introduced two new characters, Tressa the Merchant and Alfyn the Apothecary, who both have unique skills to help them through their journeys. Tressa can engage in commerce with other characters, while Alfyn has the ability to root out more information from NPCs with his Inquire skill.
The game is launching with a special edition that includes a pop-up book telling the origins of the eight characters, a map, a replica coin from the game's currency, and a sampler CD.
Octopath Traveler is releasing exclusively on the Nintendo Switch on July 13.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
