Octopath Traveler II, the highly anticipated RPG, has just received an exciting new update alongside its release on Xbox and Game Pass. Players can now access a brand new mode called ‘Extra Battles’ after defeating the game’s final boss. This mode promises to challenge players with even tougher opponents than those encountered in the main game, including characters from the original Octopath Traveler.
The update, now available on the Switch version, brings not only the new Extra Battles mode but also various other changes and additions. The patch notes shared on Steam include updates to the title screen, credits, graphics, and new tutorial text for the newly added features.
To add to the excitement, a new bundle has been made available for purchase, which includes both Octopath Traveler and Octopath Traveler II. Players can opt to buy the games individually or take advantage of the bundle offer. Additionally, the original Octopath Traveler has been released on PlayStation 5 and 4, further expanding the game’s reach.
Square Enix also shared the milestone achievement of Octopath Traveler, with the game now having sold over four million copies worldwide. This success is a testament to the popularity and appeal of the franchise among players.
Octopath Traveler II initially launched on the Switch last year to critical acclaim. The game was praised as a “confident and triumphant follow-up to its predecessor,” earning a stellar rating of nine out of ten stars in reviews. The addition of the new Extra Battles mode further enhances the gameplay experience for fans of the series.
