Square Enix has announced it will host a special 5th anniversary live stream for its HD-2D RPG Octopath Traveler.
This event will take place next month on 13th July at 8 pm JST and will apparently include a "memorial corner" reflecting on the history of the series, the results of a user survey, and also feature SE producer Masashi Takahashi and Acquire director Keisuke Miyauchi.
There's no mention of any special announcements, but if we hear anything we'll let you know.
This special anniversary live stream follows the release of Octopath Traveler 2 on the Nintendo Switch earlier this year. The sequel reviewed well and the game has now shipped more than one million units.
The game's director previously spoke about the future of the Octopath Traveler series back in April, suggesting the team had "casually chatted" about how the series could evolve.

Lol a 5th anniversary. How long will it last, 3 minutes? Light a tea candle at the memorial corner I guess? This company gets goofier every day.
I almost feel like there has to be an announcement in this presentation, because, "Hey look! We made a well-recieved game 5 years ago!" is a weird reason to host a livestream.
i am starting to feel optimistic we may see a octopath 3 in the future..
I also play PlayStation, so hopefully the first one is coming to PlayStation finally. Probably wishful thinking, but I can dream!
@MidnightDragonDX I already have the game on Switch, but I'm hoping for the same thing. Fingers crossed!
I find it strange to promote a 5 year old game after its sequel came out.
But then I enjoyed the game for 40 hours but wished it hadn’t lasted for another 25.
Concert perhaps? I love Octopath’s music. Have the Original OST and the Break and Boost album.
In other word it's HD-2D 5th anniversary, probably they Show those Dragon Quest HD-2D, and beyond.
@MrGawain @Pak-Man I am guessing they will be celebrating the franchise's 5th anniversary, not so much just the first game.
But I could be wrong. This * is * Square Enix after all.
@johnedwin They should at least make 8 octopath games.
I’m still working through the game, just picked it up again after putting it away for a few months on completing all the chapter twos.
I love the graphics, the music and most of the characters and stories, but it does drag at times. I like the battle system in general but it feels like even the easy battles take too long. But hey, overall I still really like the game. Not sure I’d want to play loads of sequels unless they change things up. Still not sure whether I’ll get the second game or not, backlog and all that.
Man the only thing square is good at these days is congratulating themselves for mediocre achievements
Hopefully Xbox gets the sequel also.
Don't they commemorate Bravely Default and Octopath Traveler every year with a new drawing on Twitter?
@Bobb indeed. The facebook pages are worse. It's always time to celebrate a fictional somebody's birthday.
@Ryu_Niiyama
The music is so forgettable (for me)
Im currently playing the 2nd game (45 ish hours in.......literally played a bit a couple of hours ago)
I cant recall a single song.
Didnt they say something about a mobile game? (Or has it happened already)
Octopath is the best game I can't bring myself to recommend to anyone who isn't already a JPRG fan. It really doesn't hit its stride until chapter 2 (or even 3 for some characters), which is like 30+ hours into the game. And you won't even know the actual story if you just happened to miss some random jerk asking for a healing grape.
