SQUARE ENIX announced that "OCTOPATH TRAVELER", an RPG for Nintendo Switch, has shipped more than 1 million copies worldwide and sold more than 1 million downloadable copies.

In "OCTOPATH TRAVELER," a completely new RPG jointly developed by Square Enix and Acquire, players select one of eight main characters, each with a different origin and purpose of travel, and play through a world of 3DCG, traditional dots, and distinctive effects in "HD-2D. Players will choose one of eight protagonists, each with a different origin and purpose in life, and explore the fantastic world of the Orstera continent, depicted in "HD-2D," a combination of 3DCG, traditional dots, and characteristic effects.

The eight main characters have their own unique "field commands" that allow them to approach almost any townspeople, such as challenging them to a fight, stealing their belongings, seducing them, or asking them for information, and they also have the ability to detect enemy weaknesses at the start of a battle, unlock unique treasure chests, mix materials to heal or attack, and even to use their own weapons. Each player has his or her own "unique actions," such as detecting enemy weaknesses at the start of battle, unlocking unique treasure chests, and mixing materials to heal and attack, providing a unique role-playing experience.

The battle system is based on the command battles that many RPG fans have grown accustomed to, with "Breaks" that strike enemy weaknesses to neutralize them, and "Command Boosts" that increase the number of attacks and the power of abilities by consuming BP (boost points) that accumulate over the course of a turn. The unique "Command Boost" battle system increases the number of attacks and the power of abilities by consuming BP (boost points) that accumulate over the course of a turn. By combining these features, players can enjoy strategic and exhilarating battles.

Since its release on July 13 (Friday), the game has been extremely well received and the total worldwide shipments and download sales of this title have exceeded 1 million units!　This is an amazing accomplishment for a completely new title, yet it only took three weeks after its release to reach the million-seller mark.
