Bravely Default 2 news teased following Switch RPG’s Mature rating

Square Enix has teased Bravely Default 2 news, following the game’s rating from the Australian Classification Board.

In a tweet acknowledging the original game’s eighth anniversary, the official Bravely Default account said that new information would be released soon. A new illustration by artist Naoki Ikushima was also published.

The Nintendo Switch RPG was first announced in December 2019 and planned for release in 2020. A demo was released on the eShop in March of this year.

The game received an M (Mature) rating from the Australian Classification Board on September 22, suggesting that its release could be imminent.

Nintendo is yet to confirm a title for the month of December, which it typically plans a release for, so it’s possible Bravely Default 2 could yet arrive this year.

Bravely Default 2 producer Tomoya Asano (Octopath Traveler) and composer Revo (Sound Horizon/Linked Horizon) held the same roles on 2012’s original Bravely Default for Nintendo 3DS.

Publisher Nintendo says the upcoming Switch game features a new story, world and characters, “but with the atmosphere and excitement the Bravely series is known for”.

It sees players travelling the world “in search of the four Crystals with the latest incarnation of the brave band known as the Heroes of Light”.
