The RPG Octopath Traveler is getting a prequel on mobile this summer. Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent is coming to mobile devices on July 27, featuring a similar HD-2D art style and a wide array of characters.

The announcement trailer shows off some combat with eight characters taking the field at once, and notes that it's a single-player RPG experience. The App Store listing promises over 64 characters at launch, far more than the eight playable characters in the original game. This takes place a few years before the events of Octopath Traveler, but appears to use similar combat mechanics and Path actions, and brings back Yasunori Nishiki as composer. You can pre-register now.

The original Octopath Traveler released on Nintendo Switch in 2018, and was subsequently ported to PC, Google Stadia, and Xbox platforms. It was the first of Square Enix's games to use the HD-2D art style, which was later followed by this year's Triangle Strategy.
