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:

Since the release on Octopath Traveler, Square Enix has released other throwback games like Oninaki, Trials of Mana, and more.
