Square Enix Unveils The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales for Nintendo Switch

At February’s Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase, Square Enix concluded the presentation with an exciting reveal: The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales, a brand-new HD-2D action RPG set to launch on Nintendo Switch.

Alongside the announcement of Octopath Traveler 0, this new adventure marks another bold entry in Square Enix’s acclaimed HD-2D library, blending classic RPG visuals with modern action gameplay. Developed by Square Enix and targeting a 2026 release, The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales places players in the shoes of Elliot, an adventurer tasked with safeguarding the fantasy realm of Philabieldia.

The game distinguishes itself by emphasizing dynamic, action-oriented combat, with players able to wield seven different weapon types as they explore varied environments and confront formidable foes. Cooperative play is a notable feature, offering the option for two players to join forces.

Gamers can collaborate, dividing their efforts between Elliot and his fairy companion, Faie, to overcome challenges and maximize their effectiveness in battle.

This local co-op experience aligns with Square Enix’s commitment to delivering versatile gameplay on the Nintendo Switch platform. In a statement during the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase, Square Enix highlighted the game’s combat and cooperative mechanics, underscoring their dedication to evolving the HD-2D genre.

The company stated that action and teamwork are core pillars supporting both the single-player and cooperative experiences within Philabieldia’s expansive world. Although a specific launch date is yet to be confirmed, Square Enix has committed to a broad 2026 release window for The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales.

Fans eager to experience the game early can look forward to a free demo available via the Nintendo Switch eShop, launching the same day as the announcement.

Square Enix also confirmed that they will be seeking player input through a feedback survey following the demo’s release, ensuring that community voices are considered throughout development. The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales marks Square Enix’s ongoing innovation within the action RPG genre and continues their tradition of supporting the Nintendo Switch with distinctive, visually striking titles.

With its blend of collaborative play, HD-2D artistry, and combat-focused action, the game is poised to draw significant attention as it approaches its 2026 debut.
