Summary

  • June 18 is the full-release date for The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales, Square Enix’s new action RPG coming to Steam, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S|X.
  • The game follows explorer Elliot and fairy companion Faie on a “thousand-year mission,” pairing action-based combat with support abilities and an HD-2D presentation Square Enix has refined through Octopath Traveler and related titles.
  • A 90-minute Steam demo had already drawn strong fan reaction, with players on Reddit comparing its gameplay feel to a 2D Zelda and praising its interactive features.
  • The launch lands as Zelda interest is rising again after an Ocarina of Time remake was confirmed earlier this week, positioning Square Enix’s title as a near-term fantasy RPG alternative.
