The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales

The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales will be available on June 18, 2026. Starting today, the game is available for physical and digital preorder on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam and Microsoft Store, with physical preorders also available for Nintendo Switch 2. Digital Nintendo Switch 2 preorders will be available in the near future.

To prepare for the adventure, starting today, players who pre-order a digital and/or physical edition of the game will receive Elliot’s Departure Pack, which includes various items that give Elliot an edge, including a Departure Brooch accessory, which increases the amount of currency and magicite fragments enemies drop, and Attack Up sword Magicite. In addition to the standard digital edition of the game, a Digital Deluxe Edition is also available for pre-order and includes the Fairy Bangle accessory, Cherry Blossom Anklet accessory and Roselle Ring accessory.

A physical Collector’s Edition is also available for pre-order exclusively through the Square Enix Store. This edition includes the base game plus an original soundtrack and desk clock statue featuring Faie.

In The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales, the duo Elliot and Faie traverse a vast world across four ages, teeming with enemy hordes, hidden caves and ancient ruins. Elliot can wield seven weapon types—ranging from close-quarters swords to versatile chains and sickles that can reel in enemies. Each weapon is customizable through Magicite, allowing players to tailor their combat style. Faie’s powerful Magic is formidable in and out of battle, whether she’s striking enemies, retrieving hard-to-reach items, or aiding in exploration.

The game will also feature several new and improved features based on feedback from the Debut Demo (available for download on Nintendo Switch 2), including faster movement speed for Elliot, refinements to the weapon shortcut menu and additional difficulty options. A full list of updates will be shared via the official game website.
