Overview
- Square Enix released a free demo on all platforms that covers the prologue and opening chapters for roughly three hours, with save data carrying over to the full game.
- The full release is set for December 4, 2025 on Switch, Switch 2, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC.
- Positioned as a paid prequel built from Champions of the Continent, the game drops gacha monetization and reframes the series around a single, customizable protagonist.
- Key systems include HD-2D visuals, Break/Boost turn-based combat, character creation, Path Actions, companion recruitment, and restoration of the hometown Wishvale through town-building.
- XboxEra reports day-one Play Anywhere support for Xbox purchases, and the title is not slated for Game Pass at launch.
