　　Hikari, a WarriorAgnea, a DancerPartitio, a MerchantOsvald, a ScholarThroné, a ThiefTemenos, a ClericOchette, a HunterCastti, an ApothecaryOctopath Traveler II will once again employ the HD/2D graphics style that originated with the first Octopath game in 2018, and has since been employed by Triangle Strategy and the recent Live A Live remake. This new Octopath game is also confirmed to have no story connection to the previous titles, meaning new players will be able to jump in with no issue. However, the Break and Boost battle system from the first game will return, so players can still prepare for the sequel if they so choose.

　　Octopath Traveler II will tell a new story in the growing Octopath universe when it launches February 24 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. A Collector's Edition has also been announced, which will include an art book, a soundtrack, and miniature busts of all eight playable characters for $180.
