The sequel boasts significantly improved graphics compared to its 2021 predecessor and appears more expansive, narratively speaking. Unfortunately, Capcom didn’t give us a solid release date and stated that it’s coming to Switch 2 “sometime in 2026.”All in all, there were around 24 games shown off during the July Partner Showcase. Titles ranged from Persona 3 Reload to Apex Legends. However, the most talked-about release was Octopath Traveler 0, which closed out the Direct.

The upcoming RPG is set to launch on Switch 2 on December 4th, and is the third game in the beloved HD-2D series. Although there is some confusion as to whether this is based on the mobile game.There isn’t a lot we know about the new RPG yet, but the game’s trailer description confirmed it’s a new story. “Start from zero and discover the newest entry in the OCTOPATH TRAVELER series. Experience a story of restoration and retribution over the divine rings—an epic saga that unfolds across the realm of Orsterra.”The biggest feature of Octopath Traveler 0 is that it allows you to create your own custom protagonist. “And for the first time in series history, fans will play through the eyes of their own customized protagonist and be able to rebuild their hometown after great destruction is brought to it. Embark on a journey of your own creation.” Regardless, this will likely be one of Switch 2’s most popular titles coming in the holiday of 2025. I found it to be the best thing showcased at the July Partner Showcase event, aside from Persona 3 Reload.The post July Nintendo Direct Roundup: Every Game Announced appeared first on VICE.
