Developed by Square Enix and Acquire, the role-playing game employs a distinctive visual aesthetic described as "HD-2D." The graphics combine sprite-based two-dimensional character art and three-dimensional polygonal terrains. There are eight adventurers' paths to choose from, four male and four female, playable in any order.
Octopath Traveler is available for Windows through Steam, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One. The 4-disc CD release ships through CDJapan. Square Enix's second "HD-2D" title is in development for the Nintendo Switch, under the working title "Project Triangle Strategy."
