Following the release of Octopath Traveler 0 earlier this month, Square Enix has announced that the series has crossed six million sales thus far.
The first title launched in July 2018 for Nintendo Switch before coming to PC, Xbox One, PS4, and PS5. Octopath Traveler 2 followed in 2023, launching for all platforms except Xbox (which arrived in 2024). Both titles received notable acclaim for their role-playing mechanics, as each offered eight playable characters with unique Path Actions.
Octopath Traveler 0 is similar, but this time, you’re creating a character and embarking on a journey to rebuild Wishvale. Along the way, you’ll combat the antagonists responsible for its destruction while collecting seven powerful rings. Unlike previous titles, there are more than 30 characters to recruit, either as party members or town members.
You can field eight units in battle, which adds a more tactical layer to the series, and unleash Ultimates. Wishvale also presents its own unique town-building systems, providing valuable resources if you dedicate enough time. Check out our review for more details.
