The official Octopath Traveler team shares a fantastic news, announcing a whopping 5 million copies sold for the series!

Check out this week’s new releases!

Octopath Traveler is a series of games developed and created by Square Enix in collaboration with the Acquire team. The series debuted on Nintendo Switch on 13 July 2018, and gradually expanded to other platforms, particularly landing on Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S o this year, on 5 June 2025.

Octopath immediately captured players with a classic-style RPG that combines a new approach to retro-pixel art the team calls “HD-2D.” A style inspired by the great classics of the Super NES but with all the benefits of modern graphics. It also offers replayability and an engaging story, thanks to the 8 available characters. Quickly becoming one of Square Enix’s most beloved “smaller” series.

The announcement comes directly from the series’ official Twitter (X) page. With a post on December 21, 2024, the team thanks fans and shares a special illustration by Rika Okazaki, the character designer of the series, celebrating 5 million combined copies sold across both Octopath Traveler games.

A fantastic milestone for the series, with combined sales of both physical and digital versions. Celebrations also highlight a special discount on the series, particularly 50% off Octopath Traveler II.

What’s Next for Octopath Traveler and Save During the Holidays

Fantastic news for fans of classic-style RPGs, especially those who loved Octopath Traveler. As many are eagerly awaiting the announcement of the next chapter, hoping the series solidifies itself as one of Square Enix’s great franchises, especially considering how it has inspired a return of many classic JRPGs.

Many speculate that the arrival of Switch 2 might somehow be tied to all this, just like with the first chapter, even though recent years’ Square Enix prefers to focus on multi-platform launches. We’ll have to wait for official news, taking advantage of the best prices on Octopath Traveler thanks to Allkeyshop.
