That’s why it’d make more sense for the new games to rather be new products instead. Anything else would be a complete mystery.Īs exciting as a possible sequel to Octopath Traveler or Bravely Default might be, it doesn’t necessarily make sense, as one has to wonder where Team Asano would pull in those kinds of development resources. It’s also possible that there’s another Bravely Default game in the works, but that’s a quick turnaround after Bravely Default 2‘s release in 2021. About the only likely possibility is an Octopath Traveler sequel, which was teased in 2021 for the game’s third-year anniversary. The lingering question is what kind of games Team Asano will be announcing in 2022. But while five games in ten years is an incredible pace, it’s still a game every two years and not multiple games in a single year. Bravely Default: End Layer in 2015, Octopath Traveler in 2018, Bravely Default 2 in 2021, and now Triangle Strategy in 2022 are all produced by Asano. Since Bravely Default: Flying Fairy was released in 2012, Tomoyo Asano has released four other games. It’s certainly true that Team Asano has been particularly active over the past several years. Following that, he says that, “in addition to Triangle, we are planning to announce and release multiple titles this year.” He then asks his followers to look forward to it and to pay attention, noting that all of Team Asano will “continue to do their best.” A loose translation has Asano first wishing his followers a happy New Year, before he confirms that he’s back in the studio working. The announcement comes via the official Bravely Default Twitter account and is written in Japanese.
