Square Enix and Team Asano \u2014 the studio behind Octopath Traveler<\/em> and the Bravely Default<\/em> series \u2014 have launched their latest HD-2D title, The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales<\/strong>, on Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The PlayStation Singapore store<\/a> lists the game as available from 17 June, with the global launch officially dated 18 June 2026 \u2014 making now the perfect time to jump in at S$79.90<\/strong> on PS5 or Switch 2.<\/p>\n

An Epic That Spans Millennia<\/h2>\n

The game unfolds on Philabieldia, an untamed continent where the last remnants of humanity huddle behind the walls of the Kingdom of Huther while beast tribes roam the wilds beyond. You play as Elliot, a young adventurer, alongside his fairy companion Faie. Their central tool is the Doorway of Time<\/strong> \u2014 a mysterious artefact that lets them travel across four distinct historical eras, each with its own visual flavour and a piece of the world’s forgotten history to uncover.<\/p>\n

It is a premise that wears its JRPG heritage on its sleeve. Early critics have drawn comparisons to Chrono Trigger<\/em>, The Legend of Zelda<\/em>, the Mana<\/em> series, and Ys<\/em> \u2014 which makes sense given that the core development team at Team Asano brought a similarly eclectic mix of inspirations to Octopath Traveler<\/em> and Bravely Default<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Real-Time Action Combat Built for All Players<\/h2>\n

Unlike the turn-based systems in previous Team Asano games, Adventures of Elliot<\/em> goes fully real-time. Players can equip two weapons simultaneously from seven types \u2014 including swords, bows, boomerangs, and chains \u2014 and weave in shield mechanics and Faie’s fairy magic to shape a personalised combat style. A Magicite<\/strong> enhancement system adds further depth: collectible fragments slot into your gear to unlock additional effects, from currency boosts to extended boomerang throws.<\/p>\n

For those wanting company, a second player can take control of Faie in local co-op, assisting with both battles and environmental puzzles. The exploration side of things leans heavily on shrine-based puzzle-solving in a way that fans of action-adventure games will find familiar.<\/p>\n

Famitsu Awards It 34 Out of 40<\/h2>\n

Ahead of launch, Famitsu scored The Adventures of Elliot<\/em> a strong 34 out of 40<\/strong>, according to TechTimes<\/a>. That puts it firmly in the “recommended” tier for Japan’s leading games publication \u2014 on par with the solid scores earned by other Team Asano releases. The same early wave of coverage has described it as evoking the feeling of a spiritual successor to Chrono Trigger<\/em>, which is about as high a bar as you can set in this genre.<\/p>\n
