Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent will see Square Enix transfer operations to NetEase

Feb 10,25(5 months ago)

Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent is transitioning operational management to NetEase, effective January 2024. This change, while potentially signaling a retreat from mobile game development for Square Enix, shouldn't disrupt player progress, as save data and game advancement will be transferred.

This news contrasts with the recent positive development of a Final Fantasy XIV mobile version, facilitated by Tencent's subsidiary, Lightspeed Studios. The outsourcing of Octopath Traveler's operations raises questions about Square Enix's future mobile game strategy.

Square Enix's reduced mobile focus may have been foreshadowed by the 2022 closure of Square Enix Montreal, the studio behind successful mobile titles like Hitman GO and Deus Ex GO. While the survival of Octopath Traveler is welcome news, the shift is regrettable, especially considering the significant player interest in mobile versions of Square Enix games, as evidenced by the enthusiasm surrounding the FFXIV mobile port.

This strategic shift prompts reflection on Square Enix's mobile gaming ambitions. In the meantime, explore our list of the top 25 best Android RPGs to enjoy while awaiting the Octopath Traveler transition.
