- Octopath Traveler has been delisted from the Nintendo eShop, but you probably don't need to worry - 3 March 2024
Square Enix's debut HD-2D title Octopath Traveler appears to have been delisted from the Nintendo eShop, but there's probably nothing to worry about. Earlier this week, it was spotted that Octopath Traveler, the RPG that originally released in 2018 and introduced Square Enix's HD-2D style of graphics, had been removed from the Nintendo eShop. There was no formal announcement about its removal from storefront, so it obviously came as a bit of a surprise to some - the game is available on other digital shops like Steam still, so it's not like the game would be completely inaccessible. As pointed out by Gematsu , though, since at least December 2023, Square Enix has been listed as the game's publisher, where previously Nintendo was the publisher for the international release. This might suggest that the game has only been temporarily delisted while some behind the scenes changes are being…

- Dragon Ball FighterZ and Octopath Traveler are among Xbox Game Pass leavers - 15 February 2023

- Square Enix announces Bravely Default 2 sells a million - 22 December 2021
RPG Site reports that Square Enix announced via its website that Bravely Default 2 has surpassed one million units sold across all platforms. We already knew that the game sold 950,000 on the Switch alone, but its recent Steam release has pushed the game past the million milestone, an impressive number for a genre that many underestimate the popularity of. To commemorate this achievement, Square Enix is having a sale in Japan as well as a contest open to Japanese residents where they can win a gift card or an art print by artist Naoki Ikushima. The illustration features the four main characters above a stylized million number and the word “Thanks!” It’s a bit of a tradition for a celebratory illustration to commemorate a Square Enix JRPG’s success, and it’s cool that a fan will get to have it now too. JRPGs are having something of a renaissance on the Switch. Bravely Default…
- Microsoft won't quit with Xbox Game Pass announcements, and Octopath Traveler is next - 16 March 2021

- The best game soundtracks you can listen to for free right now - 24 September 2019
Another month, another big video game publisher puts a great big dollop of video game music online for zero pennies. This time, it’s Bandai Namco, who have just uploaded every single Tekken soundtrack onto Spotify because, well, apparently everyone loves Tekken. I’ve never partaken in a Tekken, but with track names like “Massive Stunner” and “Lonesome City Jazz Party 1st”, I’m already 100% convinced the music must be great. However, given my rather lacking expertise in all things Tekken-related, I thought that instead of doing a big Tekken musical breakdown like I did for Capcom and all the Final Fantasy games , I’d take this opportunity to celebrate some of the other great gaming soundtracks you can currently listen to for free right now, because boy howdy are there loads of ’em. So bang on those headphones and turn up the volume, f…
