A new update for The Adventures of Elliot The Millennium Tales is available today that allows players to disable support character voices, such as the Princess Heuria and the Fairy Faie that accompany Elliot on his journey through Philabieldia. Initially there was an option to lower the frequency of the dialogue, but this new option will mute the voices. Version 1.1.0 will also adjust "tutorial behavior" and fix FPS drops on some PC setups when Faie is present, as well as address minor bugs. Currently it's available on steam and will be rolled out to other platforms. The Adventures of Elliot The Millennium Tales will release June 18, 2026 for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Windows and Steam. A free demo is available on each platform.

The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales may end up the least of Square Enix's HD-2D offerings, but that speaks less to this game’s quality and more to the high bar established by all those previous projects. Whereas the Octopath Traveler series has given us a modern spin on old-school classic JRPGs, the Dragon Quest remakes have wonderfully returned us to bygone times, and Triangle Strategy has helped keep the isometric spark alive, Elliot isn’t quite the HD-2D action-RPG pinnacle that it could have been.  Naturally for a game with this somewhat cumbersome title, The Adventures of Elliot stars—who else?—an adventurer named Elliot. Decked out in unmistakably Final Fantasy red mage garb, Elliot is a likable, if fairly shallow, protagonist who spends his days helping folks in need and tipping his hat like the stylish hero he is.  Elliot starts off with little more than a sword, a shield, and a commitment to the cause. But soon enough, you’ll unlock a spear, a bow, a boomerang, a hammer, and more. A couple of hours into the roughly 25-hour tale, a fairy named Faie joins up, and she eventually gains a slew of neat magic spells to supplement Elliot’s arsenal. On the one

In The Adventures of Elliot The Millennium Tales, players will take on the role of the titular Elliot—an adventurer from the land of Philabieldia accompanied by the magical fairy Faie. Together they'll travel into different eras in time in order to save their home from destruction. The HD-2D action RPG features a wide variety of weapons and magicite to collect, with an emphasis on exploration. Today, we learn more about one of the four eras Elliot and Faie will travel to: the Age of Budding. Here, in the earliest of the four eras, they'll meet those living in an early human settlement and about the rising conflict with the beastmen tribes and the magic-wielding Myū. It appears this age is a pivotal point in Philabieldia's history. We also get a further look at some of the fairy magic Faie can invoke, such as fire spells to light torches, vaccuum spells to collect items, and even a spell to copy Elliot himself. It'll be important that Elliot and Faie use their abilities synergistically to overcome the game's challenges. Recently, we had a chance to check out a portion of the game further past the Prologue Demo's content, and you can read our preview impressions

A free demo for The Adventures of Elliot The Millennium Tales is now available on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam or the Microsoft Store. Those who play this "Prologue Demo" will be able to carry over save data to the retail version when it launches on June 18, 2026. The newest HD-2D title from Square Enix's Team Asano and Claytechworks, Elliot is an action RPG where you play as an adventurer seeking to lift the curse on a princess tasked with protecting the land of Philabieldia from beastman forces. Accompanying him is the fairy Faie, who uses her magic to help Elliot in his quest. Recently, we had a chance to preview a section of the game (a different section than the demo) and our report also includes insights from producer Naofumi Matsushita on why the team known primarily for turn-based RPGs wanted to give an action RPG a spin. Check out the demo announcement trailer below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3SZlzcwa-0

In the last several weeks, Square Enix invited us to check out The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales, a game currently in development by Team Asano (helmed by division lead Tomoya Asano)  and co-developer Claytechworks. The game is the latest in the company's line of the company's “HD-2D” games featuring a presentation where 2D sprites are used alongside 3D environments, with the aim of evoking the pixelated visuals of console generations past, but in a format that would better serve consumers' adoption of HD displays. Nearly eight years after Team Asano’s debut HD-2D title Octopath Traveler released, Square Enix has produced a bevy of remasters, remakes and original titles in the same (or similar) style. And—they’ve been popular, with its flagship Octopath Traveler series recently surpassing seven million sales. So, it stands to reason that Team Asano has endeavored to continue producing HD-2D games, with Elliot the latest in its line. However, this time the team has opted to create something different than their usual turn-based RPG fare, and this new action RPG with a heavy emphasis on exploration and puzzles is something we asked producer Naoufmi Matsushita about. According to him: "When we began thinking about creating the latest entry

Today, we learn new details about The Adventures of Elliot The Millennium Tales, an HD-2D action RPG developed by the same team behind the Octopath Traveler series, Triangle Strategy and more. We learn more about the "The Age of Magic", one of four time periods that the adventurer Elliot and his companion fairy named Faie will travel to on their journey. In the prosperous nation of Weyzn, they will visit two magical research institutions—one with a mission to pursue technological advancement, and the other to enrich the lives of the populace. Elliot will be able to find seven different types of weapons, but more powerful versions of these weapon types exist to be found. Regarding magic enhancements, since Elliot can only equip a certain amount, rarer versions will require less of a cost. Faie will offer Elliot magic lessons in the form of minigames.

New details about The Adventures of Elliot The Millennium Tales have been shared by Square Enix today. The HD-2D action RPG is developed by the same team behind the Octopath Traveler series, Triangle Strategy and more.

The game will also feature quests that can be accepted from NPCs that will reward items (some of them exclusive) when their conditions are met. These quests can be tracked in the game's menus, and you'll want to keep an eye on what quests may close off to you as you progress through the story. Elliot can also equip special accessories that bestow effects like doubling his guard window or preventing fall damage. "Shrines of Life" will offer their own rewards by offering combat and puzzle-based challenges. Should you complete them you will win a "shard of life" which will restore Elliot's vitality and add a new
