Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent western version service operations to transfer to NetEase Games on January 16, 2025

As a dedicated fan who has spent countless hours traversing the fantastical landscapes of Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent, I can’t help but feel a mix of emotions upon hearing about this service operations transfer to NetEase Games. On one hand, I’m excited for the prospect of fresh content and potential enhancements that a new partnership might bring. After all, two heads are better than one, and with Square Enix and NetEase working together, we could be in for quite the adventure!

Starting January 16, 2025, management of service operations for the western version of “Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent”, a free-to-play game, will be handed over from Square Enix to NetEase Games, as stated by both parties.

The mobile role-playing game, “Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent,” was initially released in Japan on October 28, 2020, for iOS and Android devices. It later expanded to North America and Europe on July 27, 2022, followed by China on November 29, 2022, and Southeast Asia on December 7, 2023. Notably, NetEase Games has been overseeing the game’s operations in both China and Southeast Asia.

Here is the full message from Square Enix regarding the service operations transfer:
