Square Enix has worked with many different developers to release their games through its “Collective” program. A couple of these games have already made their way to Switch, including the recently-launched Fear Effect Sedna.

Switch owners can expect at least one more title from the Collective program this year. Phil Elliott, creator and project lead, shared the news in an interview with Fragments of Silicon. Elliott indicated that the company is looking at prior releases to see if they can be brought over to Switch.

For those who didn’t get a chance to order a physical copy of Lost Sphear, the game is back in stock for on the Square Enix Store. You can place an order here.

The Octopath Traveler – Traveler’s Compendium Edition went up on Amazon Germany last week. But less than a day in, pre-orders sold out.

Fans in Germany will be happy to hear that this is back up once again. Orders can be placed here. The game, a pop-up book, a map of Orsterra and a replica coin are all included.

Square Enix sent out a new wave of details and screenshots for Octopath Traveler today. We primarily learn more about Tressa Colozone and Alfyn Greengrass, as well as some gameplay tidbits. You can find the latest information below, along with screenshots. 

Amazon and GameStop have both been taking pre-orders for the Octopath Traveler Wayfarer’s Edition. Now it’s Best Buy’s turn. If you’d like to reserve the special edition, do so here.

Octopath Traveler launches on July 13.

Amazon Germany has started taking pre-orders for the Octopath Traveller Compendium Edition. If you’re interested, place an order here.

Thanks to axel for the tip.

For those who missed it last week, the Octopath Traveler: Wayfarer’s Edition is in stock again on Amazon. You can place an order here.

The Octopath Traveler: Wayfarer’s Edition comes with the game, a pop-up book, a two-sided cloth map of the game world, the Octopath Traveler: Sound Selections CD, and a replica coin.

Dragon Quest Builders for Switch is one of the few entries in the franchise released in the west ahead of Japan. The Japanese release just took place on March 1.

For the week of February 26, we heard that Dragon Quest Builders sold just under 30,000 copies. Dengeki further reports that it sold through about 55% of its initial shipment in Japan.

The debut Japanese sales of Dragon Quest Builders for Switch aren’t really comparable to the initial PlayStation debut, but it’d be a bit silly to compare them in the first place. This is a somewhat late port at the end of the day, and we also can’t forget that Dragon Quest Builders 2 will be available sometime this year. Long term sales are also possible.

GameStop has now opened pre-orders for the Octopath Traveler: Wayfarer’s Edition. You can reserve it here.

We should point out that the special edition has already sold out on Amazon, and it’s unclear if more stock will be made available. Signs are pointing to it being more of a limited release.

Square Enix has published the first web commercial for Octopath Traveler. It’s technically for the Japanese market, but has English narration. You can view the advert below.
