Octopath Traveler has been made available to purchase on the Nintendo eShop again.
The game was temporarily delisted from Nintendo Switch’s digital marketplace without explanation last month.
It’s been speculated that the delisting may have been related to Square Enix recently acquiring the publishing rights for the game from Nintendo.
Octopath Traveler was released in 2018 and has sold over three million copies across Switch, PC, Xbox One and Stadia, according to Square Enix.
The company released Octopath Traveler 2 in February 2023 for Switch, PS4, PS5, and PC via Steam.
The sequel is scheduled to hit Xbox consoles and Windows PC in “early 2024”.
FromSoftware owner Kadokawa recently purchased Octopath Traveler Studio Acquire for an undisclosed sum.
The Tokyo-based studio is also the developer behind the Tenchu, Way of the Samurai and Abiba series.

“To strengthen the ability to create IP in games as part of our game business strategy, we have made Acquire Corp. into a wholly owned subsidiary,” Kadokawa said.
“By acquiring the company, which has produced million-seller hit titles, we expect to generate synergies with our existing game-related subsidiaries, strengthen our planning and development capabilities groupwide, and enhance our line-up of console games.”

Almost 20 years after its original release, Mother 3 has still never been officially released outside of Japan. Nintendo has never offered up a concrete explanation as to why that is, and for some reason, it continues to taunt those of us who would give them vast amounts of money for an official US release. Mother 3 was recently added to Nintendo Switch Online, but only on Japan, and the plushes revealed to mark the occasion are now available to pre-order.
