Square Enix has announced that The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales is in development for Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch.
From Team Asano, you can look forward to a fantastical adventure set in the world of Philabieldia – a savage land overrun by fierce beasts. When a mysterious set of ruins is discovered just beyond the protective walls of the Kingdom of Huther, humanity’s sole bastion, a young adventurer named Elliot and his fairy companion, Faie, embark on a perilous journey – one that will unfold across the fabric of space and time.
The duo Elliot and Faie will traverse a vast world teeming with enemy hordes, hidden caves and ancient ruins. Elliot can wield seven weapon types – ranging from close-quarters swords to versatile chains and sickles that can reel in enemies. Each weapon is customisable through magicite, allowing players to tailor their combat style. Faie’s powerful Fairy Actions are formidable in and out of battle, whether she’s striking enemies, retrieving hard-to-reach items, or aiding in exploration.
“I’m very pleased to announce The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales, the first action RPG in the HD-2D series. It features simple and easy-to-understand gameplay yet offers a deeply satisfying and challenging experience!” Tomoya Asano enthused in a Square Enix blog post.
“As the HD-2D series has expanded and evolved, we’ve gradually shifted genres. We started with a classic RPG with Octopath Traveler and went on to do a strategy game with Triangle Strategy. When we thought about where to go next, we felt that challenging ourselves to an action RPG would be a good direction.
“It goes without saying that we want to deliver this game to all the people who enjoyed the games that we have made previously (Bravely Default, Octopath Traveler, Triangle Strategy, etc.), but I would be delighted if it could reach out to a new audience of gamers as well!”
Producer Naofumi Matsushita adds: “I hope that everyone, including all the fans of Team Asano’s previous games, can play the Debut Demo and experience for themselves what our first foray into the action genre looks like! We’ve pulled out all the stops to create an epic experience, as Elliot travels through a thousand years of history in an adventure that can be enjoyed by all! Look forward to great things!”
The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales will be released at retail and digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch worldwide in 2026.
