So I know you're all playing Zelda right now, (it goes without saying that I am as well), but I've got some (now kind of old!) Octopath news for you magnificent travelers.
First thing's first: Dark Horse is publishing
The Art of Octopath Traveler outside of Japan.
Containing art from OT 1 and OT:CotC (Part 1&2) the artbook is finally getting translated into English, which is fantastic stuff! Hopefully we'll also get Vol 2., which released in Japan
today, sometime down the line.
Secondly: Solistia is coming to the mobile game (CotC) in June (I think?) in Japan.
Check it out!
If the EN release doesn't die, and it hasn't so far, then the western player base will also get magically teleported to the land of Octopath 2 sometime in the future. And you know what that also entails? Yep, new Nishiki music. You can already take a sneak peak at a new track in the teaser trailer.
And lastly: The OST for OT:CotC, specifically the first volume, has been made available on streaming services! Here's a handy
YouTube link.
So even if you don't care for mobile gacha shenanigans, which I kind of don't as well, (don't know if I'll ever get back to the game, though... probably. I'll probably cave), you can still check out some new, superb OCTOMUZIK.
