Chinese game publisher NetEase said it will begin the beta testing phase for a mobile version of Octopath Traveler on May 16, with the game scheduled for release on June 30. Octopath Traveler was developed by Japanese firm Square Enix and released in 2018 as a role-playing game featuring retro-inspired pixel art and a unique HD-2D visual style. Square Enix released the second installment in 2023, and the overall series achieved global sales surpassing four million copies. The game features eight major professions: swordsman, dancer, merchant, scholar, apothecary, ranger, hunter, and astrologer. The mobile version is expected to adopt the 8-player team combat mode, allowing for strategic turn-based battles. [IThome, in Chinese]
