Square Enix Unveils The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales for Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch

Square Enix has formally announced The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales, a brand-new action RPG from the acclaimed Team Asano, set for release on both Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch.

Marking a significant evolution in the studio’s signature HD-2D visual style, the game is scheduled for a worldwide launch in 2026, available both physically and via the Nintendo eShop. Background and Setting Team Asano, recognized for titles such as Octopath Traveler, Bravely Default, and Triangle Strategy, is bringing players to the mysterious world of Philabieldia—a ruthless landscape overrun by dangerous beasts.

Players will follow the journey of Elliot, a young adventurer, and his fairy companion Faie, as they venture beyond the Kingdom of Huther’s protective walls.

Upon the discovery of enigmatic ruins just outside the kingdom, Elliot and Faie embark on an epic quest that transcends both space and time. Gameplay and Features The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales offers an expansive world filled with enemy hordes, secret caves, and ancient ruins.

Players can leverage Elliot’s mastery of seven distinct weapon types, from close-range swords to versatile chains and sickles designed to reel in adversaries.

Weapons are fully customizable through the game’s magicite system, giving players the flexibility to define their combat approach.

Faie, Elliot’s fairy ally, brings her unique Fairy Actions to both battles and exploration, helping attack foes, retrieve items, and unlock new paths. Developer Insights and Vision In a statement on the Square Enix blog, series producer Tomoya Asano expressed his enthusiasm, noting, “I am thrilled to introduce The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales as our first foray into action RPGs within the HD-2D series.

The game aims to be accessible yet deeply challenging, building upon our experience with Octopath Traveler and Triangle Strategy.” Asano highlighted the natural progression of Team Asano’s projects—from classic RPGs to strategy titles—and their excitement in expanding into the action RPG genre.

He also hopes the title will resonate not only with existing fans but also with a broader audience of gamers. Producer Naofumi Matsushita reinforced this vision, inviting players to experience the debut demo and emphasizing the team’s commitment to delivering a grand adventure that spans a thousand years of in-game history.

Matsushita expressed confidence that both longtime fans and newcomers would find much to enjoy in Elliot’s journey. Release Details The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales will be released globally in 2026 for Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch via retail and the Nintendo eShop.
