Amazon.de listed the US version of Octopath Traveler with a release planned for August 17th.

The game will be published in the West by Nintendo and August 17th is a Friday. The games that Nintendo is publishing (1st party + some 3rd party games) are all releasing on Fridays so the date matches previous patterns.

So it's leaked both Octopath and Mario Tennis date...

I guess this means they will be announced soon?

HeisenbergWW62 · Mar 4, 2018

Direct this month hopefully, can't wait for this

Cocobani · Mar 4, 2018

Please let it be true! That's sooner than I expected.

Sir_Bumble_Bee · Mar 4, 2018

I'll take it if true. Now gimmie dat TWEWY release date

I have a pretty good feeling we'll at the very least get some release dates for stuff announced during the Direct Mini a couple months ago.

Nikachu · Mar 4, 2018

Believable enough to consider it somewhat legit

Deleted member 31092 · Mar 4, 2018

Sales wise summer is the most sensible release window for the game, fall/holiday would be a suicide against Ninty's big title(s) and all the 3rd parties that will be released.

black070 · Mar 4, 2018

Damn, thats a great release date.

What's the Mario Tennis date?

John Frost · Mar 4, 2018

Is this going to be a 60$ game?

ryushe · Mar 4, 2018

I believe

Kouriozan · Mar 4, 2018

That would be perfect.

June 22 I believe

Acquila · Mar 4, 2018

Greatly enjoyed the demo so I'm definitely looking forward to this.

Hail Satan · Mar 4, 2018

This would be awesome! Much sooner than I expected. One of my most anticipated switch games this year.

dheophe · Mar 4, 2018

Is the game's title final?

Phendrift · Mar 4, 2018

Why is this sooner than expected from some people?

I was expecting Early 2018 lol. The game was shown off last January

Why must this always happen..... Sigh....
I will go set another Chibi Robo on fire then.

But really. It is my most anticipated title of 2018. I cannot wait for it!

Wise · Mar 4, 2018

This is a nice release date. Not much comes out during this time, so I'll be able to fully dedicate my time to Octopath Travelers.

I played the Demo and liked what I played so hopefully the full game is great.

Comic Obsessed · Mar 4, 2018

Hope this is right.

Deleted member 864 · Mar 4, 2018

Not a bad date, I'm certainly interested in the game. Still need to play the demo.

Oregano · Mar 4, 2018

Probably the game I'm most looking forward to right now.

Asano Team are brilliant.

Jraphics Horse · Mar 4, 2018

That's just about far enough beyond E3 that they can officially announce the date at E3, tbh.

Fanuilos · Mar 4, 2018

Lets go Final Fantasy XVI

DarkChronic · Mar 4, 2018

Wow, really? Seemed like this game was still a year or so away.

If it's going to be announced at E3, I doubt amazon would know this early

I think it'll be announced sooner...

cyba89 · Mar 4, 2018

Where does it state that date on the actual product site?
All I see is the date listed at that third party seller listing.

Why wouldn't it ? The presentation is top notch (VA, great BO...).

dheophe said:

Probably not. We'll know soon with the next Nintendo Direct.

Mary Celeste · Mar 4, 2018

I knew the name wasn't gonna change lol

Dekuman · Mar 4, 2018

Late summer, ok.

Hope we get a direct soon.

Darkmaigle · Mar 4, 2018

Sooner than expected but not soon enough!!!!!

BasilZero · Mar 4, 2018

How come Nintendo's always the ones who bring over SE's titles from the team that makes bravely default?

SE too lazy?

Kass15 · Mar 4, 2018

I purposely stopped playing the demo to not spoil the game for me when it comes out. So hyped for this one.

Oh ok. I'm not paying 90$ with taxes here in CAD that's all :)

sora bora · Mar 4, 2018

How are we feeling about this, expectations-wise? A return to 16-bit glory days? Or closer to an I am Setsuna level of quality?

Buff DrinkLots · Mar 4, 2018

Loved the demo, I'll be picking this one up after some impressions.

KtotheRoc · Mar 4, 2018

Potentially excited. I never played the demo, but all the positive reception has excited me.

Deleted member 17627 · Mar 4, 2018

Awww, was kind of hoping we'd see it in June, would've made for a great summer RPG just like the Bravely games before it (I know Default came out in February but I got it a few months late lol).

Then again, if the game was going to come out then I guess we would've heard a date for it in the last direct. Nonetheless, super excited that it's only five months off, wonder when we'll get a title.

Brewster123 · Mar 4, 2018

Reset the clock!

Madison · Mar 4, 2018

Octopath is getting me close to buying a Switch.

It's not just the Bravely team's games, they're also bringing over TWEWY.

Well what are you waiting for?!

Dark Cloud · Mar 4, 2018

August sounds perfect for Octopath Traveler.

Dremorak · Mar 4, 2018

That makes sense, cool. Hopefully the story and gameplay hold up, cause that demo was great!

Based on everything I have seen so far and the great demo, I would say it's definitely the former!

After the demo, I think that everyone has pretty high expectations. The musics are stellar, the battle system is fun and the story engaging. Really looking forward to it.

Can I still play the demo? I didn't know that. (I'm also in the middle of a few other games at the moment. But if I can still play the demo, I'll give it a shot.)

Yeah it's more than a little dubious.

Sweet, really looking forward to Final Fantasy XVI: Octopath Traveller
