Despite early playful criticism across the internet that the name was far too basic and on the nose, almost as if generated by artificial intelligence, Square Enix ultimately decided to keep the title as is anyway, simply dropping “Project” from it, as they also previously did with Octopath Traveler prior to its own respective release.Ī free debut demo was made available for (Project) Triangle Strategy immediately following the game’s initial reveal, allowing fans to submit feedback to the developers on how to improve the overall experience. Triangle Strategy was first announced during a Nintendo Direct airing in February 2021 under the working title “Project Triangle Strategy”.

While both titles are produced by Tomoya Asano, and can technically be classified as turn-based RPGs, Octopath Traveler has a menu-based battle system, comparable to early entries in the Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest series, whereas Triangle Strategy has a grid-based one, such as the likes of Fire Emblem. Although using the same nostalgic yet beautifully modern “HD-2D” style developed with Unreal Engine 4, Triangle Strategy is undoubtedly a standalone adventure in terms of story, as well as gameplay mechanics. After the commercial and critical success of Octopath Traveler, Square Enix has opted for somewhat of a spiritual successor.
