Square Enix is shadow dropping Triangle Strategy for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X | S today.
The surprise launch finally brings the tactical RPG to other platforms following its original launch on Nintendo Switch back in early 2022. Better yet, the announcement arrives alongside a new launch trailer for the PS5 and Xbox versions of Triangle Strategy, with PC players now also able to pick up a copy on the Microsoft Store.
PlayStation and Xbox players have waited years to see Triangle Strategy make the jump to their preferred platforms, so Square Enix is commemorating the moment with a limited-time offer. Those who purchase the game on either platform before September 4, 2025, can take advantage of a 30% launch discount.
That brings the price down to $41.99, or about $18 cheaper than its standard $59.99 price tag. It’s a deal that encourages early adopters to pick up Triangle Strategy within the next two weeks, though PlayStation players should note the offer is only available to PlayStation Plus subscribers.
“A brand-new tactical RPG from the team behind the Bravely and Octopath Traveler series,” Triangle Strategy’s PlayStation Store description says. “Experience the dramatic story of war-torn Norzelia from different perspectives in stunning HD-2D, with a complex turn-based battle system.”
Triangle Strategy launched as yet another addition to Square Enix’s lineup of HD-2D video games March 4, 2022. We called it “Great” in our original 8/10 review. Although we weren’t particularly impressed with its cast of characters, we felt its “grounded human story” had solid support thanks to its “simple but well-designed and appropriately challenging combat.”
Triangle Strategy fell at number 10 in our list of the top 10 tactics RPGs of all time. It also managed to find its way to our list of the best RPGs of 2022.
