Like it or not, you’re going to have to pick sides, and the choices you make will send ripples throughout your experience. Not everything can be solved on the battlefield, which results in gameplay being pushed into a more courtroom-like setting. In what could end up being the most compelling part of the experience, Project Triangle Strategy puts you right in the middle of some extremely important decisions.

The game is certainly forging ahead with some unique ideas of its own as well.

Project Triangle Strategy isn’t all about rehashing retro gaming’s finest moments, though. The best-selling wireless headsets just got even better the Stealth™ 600 & 700 Gen 2 feature massive upgrades to ensure that Turtle Beach gamers always have the definitive audio advantage. For all intents and purposes, at least when it comes to core gameplay mechanics, Project Triangle Strategy could end up being the Final Fantasy Tactics spiritual successor that fans have spent decades hoping for now. Every single move on the grid-based maps can be your key to victory, or lock in a devastating defeat. Final Fantasy Tactics fans were quick to notice some similarities between the PS1 classic and Square-Enix’s latest effort, which point to a strategy RPG with some deep mechanics at play. The new twist on gaming nostalgia doesn’t stop with visuals, though. The game’s reveal trailer showcased yet another eye-catching approach from Square-Enix, mixing old-school sprites with a 3D perspective, along with some gorgeous special effects. Revealed during the most recent Nintendo Direct, Project Triangle Strategy is the latest effort from Square-Enix to marry classic RPG gameplay and visuals with modern sensibilities and genre advancements. Nintendo and Square-Enix clearly have a good relationship, and the two are furthering that with yet another role-playing experience heading the Switch’s way. There’s even a number of console exclusives from the company, like Octopath Traveler and Bravely Default II. A slate of RPGs has made their way to the platform, both classic and brand-new. The game’s demo is currently available on the Switch eShop.Square-Enix has been treating Switch owners pretty well for a few years now. Project Triangle Strategy is due out for the Switch some time in 2022. When asked about when we can expect to hear more about the game, Asano’s response was pretty vague, simply saying that hopefully, it’ll be “before it gets cold.” “As for the game time, that’s still up in the air… we always aim for around the 50-hour mark, but it never seems to turn out that way.” “We are planning for the game to have multiple endings,” Asano said. He did add, however, that that’s up in the air, and things could change. During a recent interview at Game Live Japan (translated by Nintendo Everything), producer Tomoya Asano revealed plenty of new details, while also speaking about how long it’s going to be.Īsano reiterated that Project Triangle Strategy will have multiple endings, and that currently, the development team is aiming for a runtime of about 50 hours, as they generally tend to with most of their projects. The game’s recent demo was met with solid responses all around, and there’s plenty of questions about how the final project’s going to turn out. Taking the HD-2D art style of Octopath Traveler and merging it with turn-based tactics and choice-driven gameplay, Project Triangle Strategy(as it’s being called right now) is looking like a particularly interesting prospect.
