What’s Included in the OCTOPATH TRAVELER 0 Demo

- The opening sequence and tutorial area
- The first chapter from each of the three Retribution story arcs
- The first chapter of the Restoration story
You’ll get a taste of the game’s signature storytelling approach – multiple heroes, distinct paths, and rich moral choices that shape the tone of your journey.
Each story arc introduces unique playable characters, combat strategies, and Path Actions that define your interactions with the world. This early access window gives you just enough freedom to experiment with the new eight-character battle system while getting familiar with the expanded world design and updated visuals.

No need to restart, just pick up where you left off and continue your journey of revenge, redemption, and rebuilding from zero.
