On the series’ eighth anniversary, Square Enix has announced that HD-2D RPGs Octopath Traveler and Octopath Traveler II will launch in the West for Switch 2 this October. They can be purchased individually digitally and physically, and as a bundle digitally. The main differences between the Nintendo Switch version and the Switch 2 version are improved resolution and frame rate.
Those in Japan don’t even have to wait: it is now available in that region.
Here is a description of Octopath Traveler, via Square Enix:
In Octopath Traveler, players will set forth on an epic adventure through the enchanting yet perilous continent of Orsterra, stretching across vast landscapes from lush forests to desert outposts and snow-swept cathedrals. Featuring eight distinct characters, each with their own tales to enjoy, ranging from journeys of self-discovery to quests for revenge, each traveler will start their journey in a different land, so players can steer their own journey depending on whom they choose.
And here is a description of Octopath Traveler, again via Square Enix:
Octopath Traveler II introduces players to the world of Solistia, where eight travelers with unique storylines and motivations must navigate treacherous lands, conquer enemies in strategic turn-based battles and navigate the perils and promise of a new industrial era. [It] tells an epic story, set in a new World independent from the original title. Players will be introduced to eight original characters and experience all-new features and gameplay elements.>
