The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales

The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales is developed by Square Enix and Claytechworks, and published by Square Enix. It released on June 18, 2026, for Windows, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. The adventurer Elliot and his fairy companion Faie set out across four distinct ages of history to lift a centuries-old curse from Princess Heuria of Huther.

À propos du jeu

The Millennium Tales pairs the HD-2D visual style pioneered by Octopath Traveler with fast, real-time action combat, marking the first time that particular art style has driven an action-focused game rather than a traditional turn-based JRPG. Elliot can wield up to two weapons at once, switching between them mid-fight to handle different enemy types among the beast tribes overrunning the continent. Faie’s fairy magic supports combat directly while also clearing environmental puzzles blocking the path forward.

Structurally, the story moves through a literal Doorway of Time, sending Elliot and Faie across four separate historical ages to search for clues tied to Heuria’s curse. Magicite customization lets players slot different combinations into Elliot’s weapons, reshaping his playstyle to match whatever challenge a given age presents. Each era carries its own visual identity and threats, giving the HD-2D presentation room to shift tone across the campaign’s roughly 18-hour main story.
