Square Enix's JRPG Octopath Traveler 2 Coming to Mobile

Author : Jack Jan 10,2025

Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent's operations are shifting to NetEase in January. This transition, including save data transfer, shouldn't significantly impact players. However, it raises questions about Square Enix's future mobile gaming strategy.

While many mobile games have recently shut down, Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent will continue. This contrasts with Square Enix's earlier decision to outsource Final Fantasy XIV Mobile to Tencent's Lightspeed Studios. These moves suggest a potential retreat from direct mobile game development.

Square Enix's reduced mobile ambitions might have been foreshadowed by the 2022 closure of Square Enix Montreal, known for Hitman GO and Deus Ex GO. Although some titles will persevere, the shift is unfortunate, particularly given the strong player interest in mobile versions of Square Enix properties, as evidenced by the enthusiasm for the FFXIV mobile port.

This strategic shift is understandable, but leaves fans wondering about the future. In the meantime, explore our list of top 25 Android RPGs.
