Believe it or not, Octopath Traveler II debuted on the Nintendo Switch and other platforms just last month.
If that has you wondering about the third entry in this HD-2D series, the team isn’t quite ready to talk about what’s next. He did, however, “talk casually” about how certain parts of the series could be developed in the future.
Here’s what director Keisuke Miyauchi had to say during an interview with Japanese publication Famitsu (translation via Nintendo Everything):
Famitsu: “Compared to the last entry, this game [Octopath Traveler II] has improved a lot, but I can’t help but wonder: “If II has already evolved so much, what would they do if they made III?” Still, it’s a bit premature to think…”
Miyauchi: “We have not yet clearly decided on future developments, but we have been casually discussing what might develop in the future.”
The rest of the crew sounds like they just want to get some rest before they even seriously consider a third outing, joking that they’re “out of ideas.” At the very least, Miyauchi’s answer is promising for the future of the series.
If you haven’t played Octopath Traveler II yet, it’s worth checking out. In our Nintendo Life review, we called it a triumphant and confident follow-up to the original hit – with Team Asano demonstrating mastery of their craft at every turn.
