Today, during the Xbox broadcast at Gamescom, Square Enix dropped some news that at least a few of us had been hoping for since release. Triangle Strategy, the Tactical RPG originally released only on PC and Nintendo Switch, has finally been released on PlayStation and Xbox consoles.
Releasing on PlayStation and Xbox, Triangle Strategy will also be taking advantage of Microsoft’s Xbox Play Anywhere, which allows you to play the game purchased on all platforms that support Xbox Play Anywhere. The critically acclaimed Tactical RPG will also see a limited-time 30% discount starting from August 20th to September 3rd, making it $42.
From the team behind OCTOPATH TRAVELER and BRAVELY DEFAULT, TRIANGLE STRATEGY challenges tactics RPG veterans and those who are new to the genre to determine the fate of three powerful kingdoms embroiled in conflict – Glenbrook, Aesfrost and Hyzante. Players will guide protagonist Serenoa Wolffort and his companions- childhood friend Prince Roland, fiancée Princess Frederica Aesfrost and the steward of House Wolffort Benedict, on their journey to navigate their way through this new conflict.
The release comes at an interesting time, just one month before the release of Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles, one of the most important Tactics RPGs of all time. However, it is a welcome release. Originally released on the Switch, it was perfect for the lower-performance console, and due to the turn-based nature of gameplay worked well with the Switch’s handheld form factor. We also reviewed it favorably here, with Spencer giving Triangle Strategy a 4.5/5 in his review.
Triangle Strategy is out today on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. The 30% discount only applies to PlayStation and Xbox and ends on September 3rd, so if you’re double dipping, now might be the best time to buy it. Stay tuned to MonsterVine for ongoing coverage of Gamescom, Square-Enix, and Tactics RPGs.
