Believe it or not but Octopath Traveler II<\/a> only made its debut on the Nintendo Switch and other platforms last month.<\/p>\n

If it has got you wondering about a third entry in this HD-2D series, the team isn’t quite ready to discuss what’s next. However, it has “casually chatted” about how certain parts of the series could evolve in the future.<\/p>\n

Here’s what Director Keisuke Miyauchi had to say during an interview with the Japanese publication Famitsu (translation via Nintendo Everything):<\/p>\n

\n

Famitsu: “<\/strong>Compared to the last entry, this game [Octopath Traveler II] has advanced a lot, but I can\u2019t help but wonder, \u201cIf II has already evolved this much, what would they do if they made a III?\u201d A bit premature to think about, though\u2026”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Miyauchi:<\/strong> “We haven\u2019t decided clearly on future developments yet, but we have casually chatted about what could evolve in the future.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The rest of the team sounds like it just wants to rest for a bit before even seriously considering a third outing, joking about how it was “out of ideas”. At the very least, Miyauchi’s response is promising for the future of the series.<\/p>\n

If you’ve not played Octopath Traveler II yet, it’s well worth a look. In our Nintendo Life review, we called it a triumphant and confident follow-up to the original hit – with Team Asano demonstrating mastery of its craft at every turn.<\/p>\n
