Octopath Traveler 0 Announced, And This Time You’ll Be Able to Create Your Character
A new Octopath Traveler game has been announced, and no, it’s not Octopath Traveler 3, but rather Octopath Traveler 0. That’s “Zero,” and as the name may suggest, it’s a prequel to the first game.
But don’t think for a minute that this tale won’t be as epic as the previous entries, because despite being a prequel, it’s bringing some major new features, with the protagonist being a character that you get to create yourself.
It All Starts With Zero
In addition to creating your own character, Octopath Traveler 0 is also introducing a new town-building mechanic, which was shown off in the trailer above. More details on the new features and the game in general can be found below.
About the game (via Steam)

Enjoy familiar features such as the series’ HD-2D graphics, a fusion of retro pixel art and 3DCG; the player’s ability to roleplay using Path Actions of their choice; and the Break and Boost system that can turn the tide of battle. Additionally, brand-new features such as character creation and town building allow you to create your own character and restore your hometown.
