Square Enix’s newest HD-2D release has landed: The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales launched on 18 June across Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Singapore players can grab it on PS5 from the PlayStation Store Singapore at SGD79.90 for the standard edition, or SGD92.90 for the Digital Deluxe.
The HD-2D Action RPG Debut from the Octopath Traveler Team
The Adventures of Elliot comes from the Square Enix development team behind Octopath Traveler and Bravely Default — and it marks their first action RPG, applying the beloved HD-2D art style to real-time combat for the first time. As Nintendo Life reviewer George Yang described it, the combat “works surprisingly well, feeling like a mix between Zelda: A Link to the Past and Ys Origins” — an encouraging debut for a team new to action gameplay.
You play as Elliot, an adventurer charged with a thousand-year mission alongside his fairy companion Faie. The game spans four distinct ages of a continent’s history, connected through the Doorway of Time artifact — meaning you might explore a medieval kingdom one moment and step into an ancient civilisation’s ruins the next. The tagline is “Hope is Timeless,” and it fits.
Two-Player Co-Op and Switch 2 Performance
A second player can take direct control of Faie in a co-op mode — giving the fairy real agency in battles rather than leaving her on autopilot. It is a smart design choice that makes Elliot a solid couch co-op pick on Switch 2.
Nintendo Life’s review landed at 8/10, praising the emotional story, varied combat, and rewarding exploration across time periods. Minor complaints included some performance hiccups on Switch 2 — load times and menu lag — along with imprecise platforming. Neither of these spoils the overall experience, which the reviewer described as “an emotional journey through space and time.”
Editions and Collector’s Set
Two digital editions are on sale now:
- Standard Edition — SGD79.90
- Digital Deluxe Edition — SGD92.90
A physical Collector’s Edition is also available, bundling the game, original soundtrack, and a Faie desk-clock statue — the kind of premium set collectors on this side of the world tend to import quickly. Local retail availability is to be confirmed; check official Square Enix channels for shipping details to Singapore.
Last words
The team that made Octopath Traveler and Bravely Default stepping into action-RPG territory with their HD-2D formula is a genuinely exciting moment for genre fans in Singapore. At SGD79.90 it sits at a reasonable price point for what early reviews describe as a lengthy, emotionally rewarding adventure.
