There was a lot of attention on Xbox missing out when Octopath Traveler II arrived on pretty much every other platform earlier this year, but team green supporters can now rejoice! Square Enix's well-received sequel is officially coming to Xbox next year.
Yep, this pair of Square JRPGs have gotten lots of praise in recent months and years, and the first one launched on Xbox so it always felt a bit odd that we missed out on number two. Clearly, Xbox's newly forged partnership with the publisher has bore fruit already.
Anyway, back to Octopath itself. Xbox says you can expect to be playing through the sequel in "early 2024" when Octopath Traveler II launches on Xbox and Windows PC. Here's a bit more information on this much-revered JRPG:
"In the faraway realm of Solistia, step into the shoes of eight new travelers, each with their own origins, motivations, and unique skills. Some people thrill to glamorous stars of the stage and industry, while others are brought to tears by war, plague, and poverty. Explore the land as you see fit, using their unique talents to aid you along your journey. Embark on an adventure all your own!"

I'm glad it's coming to Xbox. But very surprised we heard nothing about the FF14 beta & the pixel remaster collection. But more Dragon Quest in the future is fantastic starting next week.
Considering the recent Square financial report, this is likely just the start of many releases on Xbox.
Hoping it'll also hit GamePass.
Was there any word on whether this one would get a physical release?
Bring over FF16. I still want to give it a try.i could buy it on my PS5. But prefer the Xbox controller if i have a choice.
By the time I can afford it, it very well could come to Game Pass.
Now Tactics Ogre Reborn!
@Kaloudz When a specific game or genre does not sell enough physical copies in the UK to hit the top 10, that is evidence that said game or genre is hated by Xbox owners. It’s just science. 🙃
Played this on PS5. Hope you all enjoy it! Better than the first I think.
Great news, just a bit late. I played through the first on Game Pass and loved it. Finally almost done with #2 on the PS5. Had this come out for Xbox a few months ago I would have played it on Xbox instead. Great game though for those that haven't tried it. It takes a few hours to get going, but it's all good from there.
This is excellent news, I did enjoy the first one on the Xbox, didn't like the whole process and difficulty spike around the true ending, but good game. Looking forward to OT2.
Yeeeeeeaaa not buying any SE games on Xbox until I’m confident that the support will be ongoing. The mystery is still what caused the relationship to degrade to this level in the first place?
Looking forward to this release, would like to pick up both on physical discs if possible.
Separately, these articles are using "Anyway" far too often, I think the last few months I have come to expect it and it throws me off on what the article was originally focused on. Not to be mean!
