Square Enix has officially announced the upcoming release of Octopath Traveler 0, a new addition to the critically acclaimed Octopath series, set to launch on December 4. This highly anticipated RPG will be available across various platforms, including PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Drawing inspiration from the mobile game Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent, this new title has been re-engineered into a standalone, offline single-player experience, offering fans a fresh perspective on the series` rich narrative. Preorders are now open for several editions, starting with the Standard Edition priced at $50.
Exclusive Octopath Traveler 0 Preorder Bonuses

Regardless of the edition chosen, all players who preorder Octopath Traveler 0 will receive the Travel Provisions Pack. This in-game bonus is designed to give you a strategic advantage during the early hours of your adventure. The pack includes a useful assortment of items and a unique skill:
- 5x Healing Grape (M) item
- 5x Inspiriting Plum (M) item
- 5x Revitalizing Jam item
- Icewind Mastery skill
Octopath Traveler 0 Standard Edition Details
The base version of Octopath Traveler 0, the Standard Edition, is priced at $50 and includes the complete game. Preordering this edition grants you the Travel Provisions Pack. Physical preorders are available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch, with digital preorders also widely accessible.
It`s important to note that the physical Nintendo Switch 2 version will be a “Game-Key Card” release. This means the actual game data is not stored on the cartridge itself; instead, the cartridge functions as a physical key to download and play the digital version on your Switch 2. In contrast, physical editions for PS5, Xbox Series X, and the original Nintendo Switch will include the full game data on their respective media. While the Switch 2 is backward compatible with Switch 1 games, Square Enix has not indicated an upgrade path for the Switch 1 version. Therefore, players seeking enhanced performance and visual fidelity on the Switch 2 will need to opt for either the Game-Key Card or digital versions.
Octopath Traveler 0 Digital Deluxe Edition
For those who prefer digital access, the Digital Deluxe Edition is available for $60. This version encompasses the full Octopath Traveler 0 base game, the exclusive Deluxe Travel Provisions in-game item set, and a digital art book. Please be aware that the digital art book is specifically excluded from the PlayStation 4 Digital Deluxe Edition.

The “0” in its title positions Octopath Traveler 0 as a prequel, detailing the earliest known events within the series` captivating chronology. Players familiar with previous installments will immediately recognize the distinctive HD-2D graphics style and the strategic turn-based combat system. This new entry enhances the combat experience by allowing party sizes of up to eight characters, expanding upon the four-character limit of prior games. Furthermore, Octopath Traveler 0 introduces an innovative town-building system, where players are tasked with rebuilding their devastated home village following its destruction in the game`s opening sequence.
For newcomers to the series or those aiming to complete their collection, physical copies of the original Octopath Traveler are available for Nintendo Switch at $50. Its sequel, Octopath Traveler II, can be found for Switch, PS5, and PS4, with the PS4 version offering a complimentary upgrade to the PS5 edition.
