octopath traveler seemingly joining its sequel on playstation

The original "Octopath Traveler," a classic Japanese role-playing game renowned for its HD-2D visual style and turn-based combat, is rated for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. Initially a Nintendo Switch exclusive, this game later expanded to PC and Xbox but was absent from PlayStation. This development, combined with the confirmed release of "Octopath Traveler 2" on Xbox Series X and S, means both games will soon be available on all modern platforms. The original game's rating by the Taiwan Digital Game Rating Committee suggests an imminent release.

While there's no official release date yet, the game being rated in Taiwan typically indicates that its availability is forthcoming, likely very soon.

"Octopath Traveler" was released by Square Enix in 2018 and was praised for its nostalgic yet innovative gameplay. Players follow eight unique characters, each with their own storylines that intertwine as they progress. Its sequel, "Octopath Traveler 2," continues this tradition but has not yet been released on Xbox platforms, making this update particularly noteworthy for fans of the series.
