The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales is now available, bringing a new HD-2D action RPG adventure from the creators of OCTOPATH TRAVELER and BRAVELY DEFAULT.
Developed by Square Enix and Claytechworks, this real-time action RPG swaps turn-based battles for fast, weapon-swapping combat, dungeon exploration, fairy-assisted puzzle solving, and a time-hopping story spread across four different ages. If you’re after something with classic Zelda and Secret of Mana energy, wrapped in that unmistakable HD-2D visual style, Elliot’s journey should be firmly on your radar.
From platforms and story details to gameplay, editions, demo information, PC specs, and the latest trailer, here’s everything you need to know about The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales.
The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales launched on June 18, 2026.
The game is available on PC, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox Series X|S. On PC, it is available via Steam, with Green Man Gaming also listing the PC Steam version.

A digital pre-order bonus, Elliot’s Departure Pack, was also available ahead of launch. This included:
The pre-order bonus was listed as valid until June 18, 2026, with bonus contents potentially being sold separately at a later date, so availability may vary depending on when and where you buy.
If you want to try before you buy, The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales offers a free Prologue Demo.
The demo covers the opening chapter of the adventure. It lets players explore Philabieldia, progress through early story content, hunt for weapons and magicite, and get a feel for the game’s combat and exploration. Better yet, data from the Prologue Demo can be carried over into the full game.
The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales begins in Philabieldia, a vast continent overrun by savage beast tribes. The Kingdom of Huther stands as one of humanity’s last safe havens, protected by a magical barrier that keeps the dangers of the outside world at bay.
That safety does not last forever. Elliot, an adventurer driven by curiosity and courage, leaves the kingdom behind and ventures into the wider world with Faie, his fairy companion. Together, the pair are drawn into a thousand-year mission that sends them across four different ages, uncovering the history of Philabieldia while facing a threat that stretches across generations.
Although it comes from creators closely associated with turn-based RPGs, The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales is a full real-time action RPG. Its battles are built around movement, timing, weapon switching, fairy magic, and customisation.
Elliot can use seven different weapon types, with two equipped at once and switchable during combat. That gives players room to experiment with different approaches, whether they prefer quick strikes, heavier hits, or a more tactical setup. Shield mechanics also play an important role, with well-timed parries letting Elliot stun enemies and send projectiles flying back at attackers.
Magicite adds another layer of customisation. Found throughout Philabieldia in chests, hidden areas, and other corners of the world, magicite can be used to enhance weapons with passive bonuses, elemental effects, and other useful abilities.
Exploration is just as important as combat. Dungeons are filled with traps, puzzles, secrets, and old-school adventure game logic. See a suspicious cracked wall? There is a good chance a bomb might reveal something worth finding behind it.
Faie is more than a story companion, too. She can help solve puzzles, distract enemies, grab otherwise unreachable items, and support Elliot during combat. The game also includes co-op play, allowing a second player to jump in and take control of Faie.
Despite its detailed HD-2D presentation, The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales is not especially demanding by modern PC standards. Here are the listed minimum and recommended PC requirements.
You can watch the trailer above for a closer look at The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales. The extended video digs into the game’s world, combat, exploration, story, and HD-2D presentation, offering a useful overview of what to expect from Elliot and Faie’s journey across Philabieldia.
