NetEase shared an update on social media regarding Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent that addressed the issues players shared about the state of its English localization of the mobile game. Specifically, it is about problems people reported once the 3.0 Solistia version launched on January 16, 2025, and how it now reads in English.
In the statement, NetEase stated it heard feedback from those playing Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent in English. It apologized. It also claimed it will fix those problems and stated that part of that initiative will involve “making the language more natural and native.” It also ended the announcement by calling for additional feedback in reporting translation issues and other bugs.
This English localization issue comes after a handover of the Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent mobile game from Square Enix to NetEase. That was announced in November 2024, then happened on January 16, 2025. When that change happened, 60 FPS support was also added. Note that after this transition, people also needed to use the data transfer feature to keep playing. Support for that ends on April 25, 2025.
The Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent is available on Android and Apple iOS devices worldwide.
