As we’ve known since March, Octopath Traveler will launch on 13th July, with a special edition of the game including a pop-up book, map, sound selection CD and replica coin releasing alongside the standard version on the same day.
With this in mind, the wait for the official release of the game just got a tad easier as today’s Nintendo Direct has revealed players will be able to take another early look at Square Enix’s upcoming fantasy RPG an entire month before launch if they download the Octopath Traveler Prologue Demo.
If you download and play the demo from the Switch eShop when it becomes available on 14th June, you will be able to transfer your save data over to the main game when it is finally released. This will include the migration of certain choices you make. Once you’ve purchased the main game you can then live out the stories of each of the eight travelers as you freely explore the world of Orsterra.
Tell us in the comments if you’re excited about the announcement of the Octopath Traveler Prologue Demo.

I really like all of the demos we're getting for this.
I stopped playing the first demo almost immediately, knowing I'm probably in - save transfer is HUGE, and I love that RPGs have been doing this the last few years on 3DS and now Switch.
Playing the all Nioh demos, thus the first two areas 3 times burnt me out on release.
Shining Resonance DEMO also out now.
I'm on the fence for this game. I felt that the first demo didnt show me enough of what i wanted to see. I'll be happy to try this though.
Looking forward to this.
I'll try it again because I want to like this, but in the first demo I found it really hard to feel connected to the tiny characters and the static battles were just a chore.
I really want another Bravely or DQ.
The random battles could be annoying but I enjoyed primrose's story and liked boosting attacks.
MY HYPE IS UNBENDING
Why can't the 14th come sooner? If it weren't for Smash Ultimate this would be my most hyped game of all time! It looks like everything I want in a JRPG, so needless to say I'll be playing the crap out of the new demo!
P.S. In the original demo, each character's story was about an hour long...so since this demo includes each character's first chapter, does that mean that we're getting eight hours of free content? This is amazing!
So excited for this, loved the first demo
Wow !!!!! Soooo excited by this !
I plan on picking this up, and sonic mania plus in july!
Looks like I'll have plenty of free material to sell me on the full package when I do get a Switch. Definitely still intrigued by this one!
Already pre-ordered this game in full months ago. Looking forward to another demo!
What about the first demo, can we also transfer that to this one and the actual game?
I wonder if you can choose any of the 8 starter characters?
This is bad news... I still have 2 full games to complete + buy Hollow Knight and play it before I can try the demo... I'll call in sick and stop sleeping until I catch up with these releases.
Very much looking forward to this. About time we got a proper new jRPG. Personally, I loved the 1st demo. I hope not too much got changed around. Definitely going to download this tomorrow and pick up the game in a months time.
