Octopath Traveler

Art of Octopath Traveler

The Art of Octopath Traveler previously released in Japan, but it’s now receiving an official English release. Dark Horse has teamed up with Square Enix on the localization.

The Art of Octopath Traveler contains concept art and developer commentary not only from the Switch RPG, but also the mobile title Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent. It includes over 200 pages.

Square Enix has announced that Octopath Traveler has sold over 2.5 million units worldwide both digitally and physically. They released this information via their official PR Twitter account, along with emphasizing that Bravely Default 2 is releasing on February 26, 2021. 


Octopath Traveler has achieved these sales after releasing in July of 2018, so it has had a strong run. It will be interesting to see how these numbers stack up to Bravely Default 2 and the newly announced Project Triangle Strategy once they are released.

Dark Horse has teamed up with Square Enix to provide an English localization of Octopath Traveler: The Complete Guide. The hardcover book will feature information about the main narrative, boss strategies, and subquests. That’s on top of environment maps, illustrations, and explanations/commentary from the development team.

Here’s an official description from Amazon:
