A new mini collection has been revealed for the Octopath Traveler series in which both games will be bundled together on a single cartridge.

This is being planned for Asia with an English cover. The games will support English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese language options. Just like with all Nintendo Switch titles, the bundle is region free, meaning it is compatible with all consoles.

Square Enix has shared a new sales milestones for the Octopath Traveler series. Since launch, total shipments and digital sales for the RPGs have surpassed five million units worldwide.

That news was shared in an official tweet today. A special piece of art was posted to celebrate, which we have below:

Art of Octopath Traveler

The Art of Octopath Traveler previously released in Japan, but it’s now receiving an official English release. Dark Horse has teamed up with Square Enix on the localization.

The Art of Octopath Traveler contains concept art and developer commentary not only from the Switch RPG, but also the mobile title Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent. It includes over 200 pages.

Square Enix has announced that Octopath Traveler has sold over 2.5 million units worldwide both digitally and physically. They released this information via their official PR Twitter account, along with emphasizing that Bravely Default 2 is releasing on February 26, 2021. 

Octopath Traveler has achieved these sales after releasing in July of 2018, so it has had a strong run. It will be interesting to see how these numbers stack up to Bravely Default 2 and the newly announced Project Triangle Strategy once they are released.

Dark Horse has teamed up with Square Enix to provide an English localization of Octopath Traveler: The Complete Guide. The hardcover book will feature information about the main narrative, boss strategies, and subquests. That’s on top of environment maps, illustrations, and explanations/commentary from the development team.

Here’s an official description from Amazon:
