Square Enix had announced on Friday that it is producing a new smartphone RPG in its Octopath Traveler game series titled Octopath Traveler Tairiku no Hasha (Octopath Traveler: Ruler of the Continent).
The official Japanese Twitter account for Square Enix’s Octopath Traveler game series hinted at a new console game in the series on Friday, writing, “To everyone who is waiting on a new console game, we apologize, but production is going to take a little while longer, so in the meantime, we’d be happy if you enjoyed the smartphone game!”
Square Enix will launch the game this year, and the game will be free to play with optional in-game purchases for items.
The game is set on the same Orsterra continent as the original game, but is set a few years before the start of the story.
