Octopath Traveler, the Square Enix RPG, has been withdrawn from sale on Switch

Initially launched as a Nintendo Switch exclusive in July 2018, Octopath Traveler has inexplicably been withdrawn from sale on the eShop.

Indeed, players can no longer acquire the JRPG. This may be due to the fact that the first game has a new publisher, moving from Nintendo to Square Enix.

We can imagine that the game will be back soon, and that it could take the opportunity to land on PlayStation. Sony's consoles have never got the title, after all.
