Octopath Traveler II is the next entry in the RPG series where players will embark on an exciting journey through the brand-new world of Solistia.

Developed by the same team behind the beloved original, which has sold over three million copies worldwide, Octopath Traveler II improves upon the series' iconic HD-2D visuals: a striking blend of retro 2D characters in a beautiful 3D world.

The game's new storyline, characters and features make it the perfect entry for newcomers to the series, while also preserving the charm of the original game for veteran players.

Players can look forward to following the journey of eight distinct protagonists as they explore the land and conquer enemies in strategic turn-based battles on an adventure all their own

  • Day/Night Cycle – The townscapes and Path Actions available to each character will change depending on if it is night or day, creating more opportunities for exploration and discovery.
