The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales has reappeared at today’s Nintendo Partner Direct with a proper release date of June 18, 2026.
Today’s trailer highlighted four different “ages” that the main character, Elliot, will visit over the course of the game: The Age of Safekeeping, Reconstruction, Magic, and Budding. As he visits these ages, Elliot will see the scenery and people living in his hometown change, and he’ll collect items and magic unique to each time period.
The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales was first announced last July at a Nintendo Partner Direct. And though we’ve had a free demo available already, this is Elliot’s first real emergence since the initial announcement.
The Adventures of Elliot is Square Enix’s first attempt to translate its HD-2D style into a more action-focused game than a turn-based RPG. Rather than a part of heroes, Elliot can use different weapon types that will play differently and can be advantageous or disadvantageous against different foes. His fairy companion, Faie, can also either attack enemies herself or be controlled by a second player in a co-op mode.
