Just over a month after it disappeared from the Switch eShop, Triangle Strategy is available to buy once again on the storefront.
Square Enix announced earlier today that the HD-2D strategy RPG is back and ready for you to spend your hard-earned pennies (or gold points) on if you haven't already.
And, as we suspected, the game's absence from the eShop was due to a publisher change. The game was originally a Switch exclusive when it launched in 2022, and it was published by Nintendo, but it's since launched on PC and Meta Quest. Now, Square Enix is listed as the publisher.
This happened previously with the first Octopath Traveler, another HD-2D game that was a Switch exclusive before launching on other platforms. So, nothing surprising here!
HD-2D is thriving right now after last year's excellent Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake. 2025 is set to deliver Dragon Quest I & II in the same style, too, so turn-based RPG fans have lots to look forward to.
But if it's tactics you're after, then you can't really go wrong with Triangle Strategy on Switch.
Will you be grabbing Triangle Strategy on Switch? Let us know in the comments.

Glad to hear that it's confirmed that it's just because of a publisher change and so it's already back for those interested in getting it (I already have it physically, just haven't played it yet)!
Nintendo losing those exclusive publisher rights again
I've yet to purchase this game, but if I will, it'll be physical and not digital.
@abbyhitter just the timed contracts coming to an end. Square Enix can now release the game for the other console platforms if they want.
Not surprised. Timed exclusivity. As for Triangle Strategy, if I can finish plowing through Fire Emblem: Three Houses, then I will get on with this, as I loved the demo.
Took it down in time to avoid black Friday and boxing week sales hmmm 🤔 👍😂🙄 fun em haven't been the same in years... All they do is make Arpgs now. Yes they PUBLISH good turn based RPGs certainly don't make em themselves anymore 😂🤮😑id rather not buy anything they make full price... Got shadowrun 2&3, FF9, golf story,last faith, vaporum lockdown, OT2,FF6 and tactics ogre reborn during both sales, and all of them at least 50% off🥳🤙. I wanted to buy TS them ripping it outta the store just so everyone knows they just published it is pathetic I can't be the only sale they missed out on this past month
We can finally strategize triangles again
Glad it's finally back again, hopefully soon they will announce a Triangle Strategy II for Switch or Switch 2 which will be published by Nintendo again 😁
@kevinm360 The game is already available on other platforms for a while now such as the Steam Deck, AYA Neo, GPD Win, ROG Ally, Lenovo Legion, and PC.
@Serpenterror sorry, I thought I said "other console platforms" rather than Steam.
I plan to get it physical, Tactics Ogre Reborn is alright but has it's limits, Front Mission is ok as well. I may be particular with this one as well.
I saw it new or so at full price in one store, checked online of another and it's cheaper. I may order it from the other at cheaper pre-owned then.
It had intrigued but I just got other games of Square's in 2023 instead that were their 2022 releases on PS4 (some PlayStation only like Valkyrie Elyisum) while Diofield just got on PS4 as just the copy I found at the time.
I'll consider Triangle Strategy on Switch eventually. Will be my first HD 2D game and to see what the graphics are like besides just how modern Square tactics games are. Will I hate it or like it as I am tactics picky even if new to the genre in many cases and enjoy some, don't others.
@SuntannedDuck2 I wasn't drawing into Tactics Orge too much but I loved Triangle Strategy
@Staatz Fair enough. I'll look into it more.
