An RPG series that debuted on the Nintendo Switch is making an appearance in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, as the next in-game event is bringing in characters from 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Octopath Traveler as Spirits.
Octopath Traveler is a 2D JRPG developed by Square Enix, which was originally released for the Nintendo Switch in 2018, before moving to Steam in 2019 and Google Stadia in 2020. The name Octopath Traveler comes from the eight different playable characters in the game. The player has to follow each character's individual story while uniting the group to tackle dungeons and take on boss monsters. Octopath Traveler was a critical and commercial success, especially as it was released at a time when the Switch was still finding its feet in the mark😼etplace.
July 13 marks the 2nd anniversary of Octopath Traveler's release on the Nintendo Switch. To celebrate the occasion, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is hosting an Octopath Traveler-themed event. According to an in-game notification sent to all Super Smash Bros. Ultimate players, the "Octopath Traveler 2nd Anniversa༒ry Event" will run from July 10 to July 15.
The ꦡOctopath Traveler Anniversary event will add four Spirits to the game, each one consisting of battles against two characters. These battles include Olberic & Primrose, Tressa & Cyrus, Alfyn & Therion, and H’aanit & Ophilia. The battles will involve fights against Ganondorf, Bayonetta, female Villager, Palutena, Dr. Mario, Pit, Robin, and Shiek. If the player defeats these Spirits on the Spirit Board, then they will be able to add them to their collection.
A character from Octopath Traveler might have been considered for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate if the game had stayed a Switch exclusive. As it stands, a group of Spirits is the best that anyone can expect from the game. The Octopath series is continuing on mobile platforms and many expect there to be more entries on consoles and PC, so there might be more Octopath representation in the Super Smash Bros. series in the future.
The Octopath Traveler 2nd Anniversary event will run in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate from July 10 to July 15.
