Octopath Traveler 1 and 2 getting new Nintendo Switch physical bundle, pre-orders open

A new mini collection has been revealed for the Octopath Traveler series in which both games will be bundled together on a single cartridge.

This is being planned for Asia with an English cover. The games will support English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese language options. Just like with all Nintendo Switch titles, the bundle is region free, meaning it is compatible with all consoles.

We have overviews of both Square Enix RPGs below.

Octopath Traveler

Eight travelers. Eight adventures. Eight roles to play in a new world brought to life by Square Enix. Explore each traveler’s story and use their abilities in and out of battle. Will you expand your horizons as the Merchant or track down a traitor as the Warrior? Where will you go? Who will join you? You alone can choose your path.

Step into the shoes of a traveler to inherit their struggles and strengths. Use each character’s special abilities to interact with the world and enhance your tactics in turn-based battles. The Dancer’s alluring charm leads followers into battle, whereas the Apothecary can mix items to heal allies or unleash explosive attacks. Discover enemy weaknesses and target them to break through their defenses. Store Boost Points with each turn and then spend them at strategic times to strengthen abilities, chain attacks, or provide aid. Choose the path you wish to walk and discover what lies beyond the horizon.

Octopath Traveler 2

In the world of Solistia, eight new travelers venture forth into an exciting new era. Where will you go? What will you do? Whose tale will you bring to life?

Every path is yours to take. Embark on an adventure all your own.
