Bravely Default II Brings The Series To Switch Next Year
Bravely Default II will bring Square Enix's retro RPG series to the Switch next year. Via: Square Enix In a bit of a shocker, Square Enix was present at The Game Awards with more than just Final Fantasy 7 Remake. After a demo reel showed off credits from last year's Octopath Traveler, a title card popped up and revealed that 2 will be heading to Switch next year. I suppose we're just going to ignore that Bravely Second was a thing. Obviously still early in development, Bravely Default 2 is clearly a more direct sequel to the 3DS original than Bravely Second. Showcasing some nice artwork and sweeping landscapes, I'm guessing the 2 moniker comes from the fact that this party of characters is completely original from the first game. As for the team behind this, the game will be co-developed by Team Asano and Claytechworks. Reno is returning to compose the soundtrack, which you can get a short sample of in the trailer below. Bravely Default 2 is currently slated for a 2020 release and will be a Nintendo Switch exclusive when it does come out. THEGAMER VIDEO OF THE DAY After years of stepping away from its roots, Square Enix released Bravely Default into the world. Heralded as a return to form, the game was met with acclaim from fans and critics alike. Many were happy that traditional, turn-based JRPGs weren't completely dead. After finding success, a sequel titled Bravely Second hit the 3DS and the series kind of went dormant for a bit. The team behind this series wasn't dismantled, though. They bound together and created Octopath Traveler for the Switch. A sort of testbed for Nintendo's new console, Square Enix released the game with the idea that it would return to the Bravely series should Nintendo's console not be a fluke. Obviously things went well, especially with Octopath making its way to PC. With the developers having proven themselves three times over now, it was only a matter of time before a new Bravely Default would get greenlit. It's strange that Square Enix wasn't teasing this earlier in the year, but at least we're getting a continuation of the series. There's an audience dying to get more traditional RPGs and it would be a shame for that to die off.
