Square Enix has unveiled an exciting new HD-2D action JRPG titled The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales during the latest Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase. Set in the besieged land of Philabieldia, the game follows protagonist Elliot and his fairy companion Faie as they venture beyond the protective walls of the last human city, Huther Kingdom. Their exploration leads them to ancient ruins and a mysterious door that propels them across millennia.
Players will engage in dynamic combat using seven distinct weapons, including swords, bows, chains, and sickles, each offering unique playstyles. Strategic weapon upgrades are possible through magicite combinations, adding depth to battles. Faie isn’t just for show either; the fairy assists in combat and item collection, with controls supporting both solo and cooperative play.
Drawing inspiration from beloved classics like Secret of Mana and early Zelda titles, the game blends nostalgic charm with modern HD-2D visuals. While the full release is slated for 2026, a demo is already accessible on the Nintendo Switch 2, giving fans an early taste of the adventure. This fusion of retro aesthetics and fresh mechanics could make The Adventures of Elliot a standout addition to the JRPG genre.
