Square Enix announced a new Octopath Traveler game for mobile earlier today. One reason why the company is interested in continuing the series is due to the success of the Switch game. Square Enix has revealed that Octopath Traveler has sold 1.5 million copies.
Octopath Traveler will also continue beyond the mobile title. Square Enix has confirmed that a new console game is in the works. Additionally, the company wrote on Twitter: “For those of you waiting for a new console game, we apologize, but we’ll need more time for production, so in the meantime we hope you’ll enjoy this.”

Dragalia Lost dev says Nintendo doesn’t want players spending too much money
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 0 comments
We’ve seen Nintendo team up with a few different companies on its mobile games over the past couple of years. One such company is Cygames, which helped create Dragalia Lost. Although that title is free to download, players can spend money on items. Unfortunately for Cygames, it sounds like players haven’t been putting down enough cash.
CyberAgent, the parent company of CyGames, reduced its fiscal year earnings forecast for the first time in 17 years in January. The reason? Dragalia Lost. While players of the mobile game have increased, revenue from each player has fallen short of projections.
