During the February 5, 2026 Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase, Square Enix confirmed a release date for The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales. The 2D-HD action-RPG will show up on June 18, 2026. A new trailer also appeared highlighting additional gameplay footage from the JRPG, which showed off the different ages we’ll visit when time-traveling through the years to save the last human kingdom.
We already had an idea that The Adventures of Elliot was on the way this year. When Square Enix announced it during July 2025, it confirmed that. It also shared a demo to offer initial impressions and opportunities for feedback. (Said Debut Demo is still online.) During the game, we’ll follow Elliot and a fairy named Faie as they go through the past and present to protect the Kingdom of Huther from hostile beasts.
Here’s the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase trailer that includes the latest The Adventures of Elliot footage and release date reveal and latest gameplay footage.
This isn’t the only recent 2D-HD game from Square Enix for the system. The company also released Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake in October 2025 and Octopath Traveler 0 in December 2025.
The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales release date is June 18, 2026, and it will be available on the Switch 2, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC.
