Square Enix has released the “official story trailer” for its upcoming RPG, “OCTOPATH TRAVELER 0”, a prequel to the popular ‘Octopath Traveler’ series. The trailer gives fans a closer look at the game’s world, main characters, and the story that takes place before the first game.
The video shows eight new heroes, each with their own story and goal, just like in the earlier games. Players will travel across a beautiful world filled with villages, forests, and deserts, meeting different people and facing new challenges along the way.
OCTOPATH TRAVELER 0 uses the same “HD-2D art style” that made the series famous, a mix of pixel graphics and modern 3D lighting effects. The trailer highlights stunning environments, emotional storytelling, and dramatic battles with turn-based combat.
The story takes players back to the early days of the world of Orsterra, where these eight travelers’ paths slowly cross as they each search for truth, justice, or redemption. Each hero has a unique skill that can be used both in and out of battle, adding strategy and personality to their journeys.
The trailer also gives a quick look at the game’s music, composed by Yasunori Nishiki, who worked on the previous Octopath games. The soundtrack seems to carry the same rich and emotional tone fans have come to love.
While Square Enix has not shared an exact release date yet, “OCTOPATH TRAVELER 0” is expected to launch in “2026” for “Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC”.
Fans of classic RPGs can look forward to another deep, emotional adventure with beautiful visuals and memorable characters, a true return to what made the ‘Octopath Traveler’ series special.
