Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent announced for mobile
Last year's Nintendo Switch exclusive JRPG Octopath Traveler released to rave reviews and critical acclaim. Square Enix appears to be following up its successful game with a prequel, titled Octopath Traveler: Tairiku ni Hasha, or, Champions of the Continent. A short gameplay trailer gives us a look at the game, which appears to be fairly similar to the original, with a few changes made to reflect the somewhat surprising platform shift. Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent will be released for iOS and Android, and will be a single player mobile game that tells a story that takes place before Octopath Traveler. Japanese publication Famitsu interviewed Square Enix about the game's reveal, who stated that Champions of the Continent will be a free-to-play title, and will not have any multiplayer elements. though new story content will slowly be added post-launch. A release window of 2019 was given for Japan, with no current confirmation of a western release.
