NieR: Automata meets Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent in the latter’s new crossover event! Until April 5th, Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent players can enjoy free gifts, new special tasks, and memoir scenarios as they guide YoRHa units 2B, 9S, and A2 to defend Orsterra! To kick off this limited-time crossover, Square Enix released this event launch trailer:

I haven’t played Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent, but this trailer is definitely tempting me. RPGFan’s Sam-James Gordon got a kick out of the game’s visuals, story, and characters. Seeing the NieR: Automata crew in Octopath’s trademark HD-2D graphics style wowed me, especially against the backdrop of NieR: Automata’s epic soundtrack.

Here’s an overview of Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent’s crossover event, courtesy of Square Enix:

From today until April 5, players can look forward to the following during the crossover event:

• The Android Trio – Players will have the opportunity to summon crossover-limited characters, 2B, 9S, and A2! Strengthen their party with 2B’s quiet determination, the charming curiosity of 9S, and the ferocious passion of A2. Players can specifically recruit a guaranteed 5★ 9S in the crossover event’s free Guide 10, available one time before April 5.

• Daily Gifts & Login Bonuses – Power up the YoRHa veterans quickly with free daily login bonuses of Guidestones for 2B, 9S, or A2, as well as items such as Tasty Experience Nuts (L), Silver Guidestones, Gold Guidestones, or Rubies. Additionally, score at least 30 Rubies once per day as a gift during the event period, boosted to 100 and 50 Rubies on March 22 and April 4.
• New Playable Content – Enjoy limited-time Otherworld Hunts and undertake Special Tasks to earn 9S’s Guidestones, Traveler’s Sacred Seals, and up to 350 Rubies.
• Memoirs – Witness the arrival of a mysterious threat to Orsterra, as well as the memories of 2B, 9S, and A2 through new Memoirs. While their individual Memoirs are available permanently upon unlocking each android hero, the crossover Memoirs will only be playable until April 5.

Lastly, fans can look forward to updates in the premium shop content, including half-off Ruby Packs and the addition of new Limit Break, Level Boost, and Awakening Packs.
