Octopath Traveler Prequel for iOS & Android Gets New Trailer; Launches Next Month In Japan

Today Square Enix released a new trailer of its mobile JRPG Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent.

We get to see the story focused on “Herminia, the Greedy Witch,” one of the three stories featured in the game.

Said three stories will lead our characters to face off against those who have mastered “wealth,” “fame,” and “power.”

Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent is set a few years before the original Octopath Traveler released for Nintendo Switch and PC, which has now shipped 2 million units on both platforms worldwide.

At the moment, there is no information on whether this mobile prequel will come to the west, but we know it’ll release in Japan in exactly a month, on October 28. It’ll come for both iOS and Android.

In the meanwhile, you can check out the trailer below. You can also check out the full-size artwork for Herminia herself.

Considering how popular Octopath Traveler is, I wouldn’t be surprised if Square Enix decided to bring it westward. They already have quite a few mobile games in English and some of them are fairly successful.
