A prequel to Octopath Traveler is finally coming to the West. Mobile game Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent was released in Japan in 2020 and is getting a closed beta ahead of its 2022 release in the United States. There is one catch, however: the closed beta is only available on Android devices, leaving Apple users out of luck.

While the playtest isn’t until later in March, players who have been anticipating the RPG can pre-register for it now. The game is set before the events of Octopath Traveler and tells a new story set in the world of Orsterra. Players can expect the series’ iconic HD-2D pixel art blended with 3D-CG effects as well as the fast-paced and strategic combat and party system with more than 60 characters to choose from. Even composer Yasunori Nishiki is returning with a brand new soundtrack.

The closed beta version of Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent will begin on March 22 and end on April 4. The game will release sometime after the end of the playtest, but Square Enix has yet to announce an official release date or window. Despite the closed beta being only for Android devices, the game will be available for both.
