While Octopath Traveler has been available since 2018, it hasn’t received much merchandise or official products here in the west, like a strategy guide. The game’s sizeable strategy guide is finally getting an English release, via Dark Horse.
The English version of the Octopath Traveler: The Complete Guide is now up for pre-order over on Amazon (affiliate link), for $39.99. A release date for the Complete Guide is set for December 1st, 2020.
The hardcover guide comes with lots of info on the game’s characters, stories, bosses, environments, and even includes illustrations, maps, and commentary from developers – all fully translated into English from the original Japanese release.
Here’s a look at the guide:

Back in 2018 and just after the games initial worldwide release, Square Enix and Octopath Traveler producer Tomoya Asano teased that the publisher has ‘several other titles’ for the Nintendo Switch, as well as non-Switch games in development. Since the release on Octopath Traveler, Square Enix has released other throwback games like Oninaki, Trials of Mana, and more.
