In the absence of official release dates we often rely on retailer listings to get an idea of when a particular title is launching, and while many of these are usually incorrect guesses, Amazon - by and large - gets things right most of the time.
That's why we're willing to believe that a recent listing for Project Octopath Traveler on Amazon's German site is legit. The retailer has the game scheduled for launch on 17th August this year, which is a Friday - the day that Nintendo-published games traditionally launch on.
We certainly can't say for sure that this is correct, but given the length of time the title has been in development, it would make sense in terms of timing. The game doesn't have a final title as yet, so we'd imagine that we'll be hearing more about it in the not-too-distant future - in an upcoming (and long overdue) Nintendo Direct, we would imagine.

Octop ath
October 8th
Missed opportunity. They'd only have to wait another couple of months.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE As much as I’d love that, I have a feeling this is probably true so this game doesn’t get dominated by big holiday realeses. (Because October is a holiday month now thanks to Odyssey)
Never played the demo but almost certainly will pick this up.
Really want this game ! I’m hoping they just stick with the octopath traveller name and just drop the project
Despite being a huge Bravely Default fan I wasn’t 100% sold on the Octopath demo. Cautiously optimistic.
This game looks really interesting! I never got a chance, but the demo makes me want to go back and try the two Bravely Default games.
@Aaron09 Next thing we know, they'll be releasing Summer games in March!
I'm excited! Hopefully they make each character's story come together unlike the demo...because then it would just be 8 stories in one world...
Please let this be true
@SLIGEACH_EIRE On the contrary, August is the 8th month of the year. 08/08/2018?
I hope this is true.cant wait for this one
I still find it funny they don't have a title. The working title has grown on me though. It's weird.
Might have worked my way through Xenoblade 2 by then so good timing
Loved the Demo, hope there is a physical
Hope so. I really liked the demo.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE But August is the 8th month (Octo) and 1 plus 7 is 8 so they got pretty close.
So pumped for this game, easily my most anticipated game for switch in 2018.
Probably the game I was most excited for during the reveal for the Switch. Day one for me, I just hope they do a Collector's edition.
Hope Nintendo confirm it on the next Nintendo Direct or at E3 2018. I don't mind August or any month after that as long as it release late this year.
I hope this is true, I would love for this to come out that close to my birthday!
I wasn't too excited for this when it was first revealed, but I've gradually grown much more interested. I also really liked the demo.
This is absolutely a Day One purchase for me.
@Fandabidozi Opposite for me. I couldn't get into Bravely Default, yet could not get enough of the Octopath demo.
My b-day is on August, 4th. I'll buy this day one.
Seems likely. It wouldn't surprise me if this is the "big" game for August
I've still been keeping an eye on this one. I haven't been able to try the demo, but it's hard for me to not trust the team behind Bravely Default at this point. The weird title has also grown on me.
The demo was great and I have already saved up for the full game
@Drommajin Mine is on the the 14th i hope this game releases in august!
I would be very okay with an August release. The demo made the wait harder, tbh.
On an unrelated note, that Kirby demo was really good. I am currently resisting the urge to preorder the full game on eShop.
this isnt news. its just a third party seller, not amazon
I'd be so happy. One of my most anticipated games coming out on my birthday? Yes please.
I thought it was early 2018 originally?
@SLIGEACH_EIRE OMG, a comment that isn't a complaint! Good job man! I am so proud of you!
But seriously though, how DO you manage to be the first comment on like every article?
@inktivate I just have to say, I totally respect your avatar. I would love a supergiant games collection on the Switch.
hopefully confirmed tomorrow
