Octopath Traveler Returns Under NetEase
Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent's operations will be transferred to NetEase in January. Players will experience minimal disruption, as the transition will include save data and progress transfer. While this news offers relief to fans, it also raises concerns about Square Enix's future mobile game strategy.
The recent announcement of a mobile Final Fantasy XIV version, developed in partnership with Tencent's subsidiary Lightspeed Studios, contrasts with this move. This outsourcing of Octopath Traveler to NetEase, combined with the FFXIV mobile partnership, suggests a potential shift in Square Enix's mobile game focus.
The writing may have been on the wall since 2022, when Square Enix Montreal, the developer behind successful mobile titles like Hitman GO and Deus Ex GO, was closed. Although some titles will continue, this strategic shift is unfortunate, especially considering the high demand for Square Enix games on mobile, as evidenced by the significant interest in the FFXIV mobile port.
