Octopath Traveler 0 is an expansive RPG that offers a fresh and exciting take on this acclaimed franchise.

The game tells a gripping story of restoration and retribution, set across the realm of Orsterra. Our tale begins in the idyllic town of Wishvale in the verdant Woodlands region - although it’s not peaceful for long. Due to an… unfortunate event we won’t ruin here, the charming settlement is completely destroyed.

In the wake of the tragedy, your hero sets off on a journey to seek revenge - and rebuild your hometown in the process.

For the first time in the series, you create your own customized protagonist, choosing the appearance, voice, motion, and even your favourite dish. Then you’ll take them on a grand adventure over a large and beautiful world full of quests to complete, more than 30 characters to recruit, and people to interact with via the series’ signature Path Actions!

Plus, more than a few dangers to face in gripping turn-based battles with up to eight characters in your party!

As you play, you’ll also rebuild your hometown. As you explore the world, you’ll find resources that you can use to build up your settlement. You’ll place buildings, create decorations and bring its scattered people back to their homes.

And, of course, all this is portrayed in the stunning HD-2D visual style, which combines beautiful pixel art with 3D environments and modern effects. As you can see, it’s real pretty:

The ‘Break and Boost’ battle system returns, now offering even more strategic depth than before. It’s based on exploiting enemy weaknesses to remove their shield points. Once these are at zero, your hapless foe is stunned and will take more damage for a turn.

To help you break your foe, you earn Boost Points (BP). You can spend these to attack multiple times in a turn, strengthen a big hit, increase the effectiveness or duration of abilities and more. Knowing when to conserve your points and when to spend them can be the difference between a quick win or a brutal defeat.

Set on the continent of Orsterra, the world of the original Octopath Traveler, Octopath Traveler 0 is a story of revenge and restoration surrounding the divine rings.

This time, we will introduce the tyrannical monarch plotting to seize control of Orsterra, your companions who will stand against his ambitions alongside you, and a few of the unique and unusual facilities you can construct through Town Building.

Master of All Pardis III, Ruler of All

The absolute monarch who rules the Kingdom of Edoras, with Wealth, Power, and Fame all at his command. His insatiable greed knows no bounds, as he initiates an invasion to seize Orsterrain its entirety.

The embers of war scatter and spread across several nations, igniting countless tragedies

Can you, Ringbearer chosen, shatter the tyrannical monarch’s ambitions?

The greed of the Master of All looms over the land of Orsterra!
