April 11, 2019 It seems to be like Octopath Traveler hits Steam in June.
Square Enix has formally introduced that the beautiful throwback JRPG Octopath Traveler is coming to PC, however that announcement appears to have come by accident. The firm put out a weblog publish confirming that the game will hit Steam on June 7, however that publish was rapidly deleted. Of course, that is the web, so the message was rapidly saved for posterity.
“We have some very exciting news for PC gamers,” Square Enix says. “Octopath Traveler is coming to Steam on June 7, 2019! So, y’know, add it to your wishlist now.” Presumably, meaning the game’s Steam web page is supposed to go reside quickly, nevertheless it’s not there but. You can learn the total weblog publish through Gematsu, nevertheless it doesn’t present any particulars on what to anticipate from the port.
This comes after a listing from Korea’s Game Rating and Administration Committee (translated through Google) appeared earlier this month, referring particularly to one thing known as “PC Octopath Traveler.” While the Nintendo Switch model of the game was revealed by Square Enix, the applicant behind this itemizing is Bandai Namco, suggesting {that a} launch on PC could possibly be being dealt with by a unique firm, not less than in Korea.
There aren’t any different pertinent particulars included inside the itemizing, aside from the truth that the game is an RPG, and that it’s been supplied a score of 12+, neither of that are significantly shocking.
While minimal consideration was understandably paid to the game on PC when it launched, it induced fairly a splash on the Switch. Roughly six months after launch, its builders introduced that gross sales on Nintendo’s console had surpassed 1.5 million.

Harry performed the console launch (though we don’t discuss that) and mentioned that he was impressed by its “2D-HD” artwork fashion and story, though he wasn’t so eager on the JRPG grind.
