Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent will see Square Enix transfer operations to NetEase

Author : Ellie Jan 05,2025

Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent's operations are moving to NetEase in January. The transition should be seamless, with save data and progress transferring over. While this ensures the game's continued operation, it raises questions about Square Enix's future mobile game strategy.

This news follows the recent announcement of a Final Fantasy XIV mobile version, developed in partnership with Tencent subsidiary Lightspeed Studios. The contrast between this collaborative effort and the outsourcing of Octopath Traveler to NetEase suggests a potential shift in Square Enix's mobile approach.

Square Enix's reduced mobile ambitions may have been foreshadowed by the 2022 closure of Square Enix Montreal, the studio behind successful mobile titles like Hitman GO and Deus Ex GO. While the survival of games like Octopath Traveler is positive, the outsourcing highlights a strategic change, particularly given the significant player interest in mobile ports of Square Enix franchises, as evidenced by the enthusiasm surrounding the FFXIV mobile release.

This shift prompts questions about the company's future mobile game development. In the meantime, explore our list of top Android RPGs to enjoy while waiting for the Octopath Traveler transition.
