News: A new dungeon crawling game is coming from Square Enix and it will be available in two weeks.

Square Enix has revealed a new dungeon exploration is on the way and will be released in a couple of weeks. As part of their Square Enix Presents live stream at the Tokyo Game Show, Square revealed that this new single-player dungeon exploration RPG will be available digitally on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 (and PS5 via backward compatibility), and PC beginning on October 14, 2021.

Directed by Final Fantasy series’ veteran Hiroyuki Ito and produced by Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age’s Hiroaki Kato, Dungeon Encounters challenges players to test their strategic skills with 100 levels of thought-provoking challenges. Using 2D grid-based movements, players are invited to lead an expedition charting the depths of an otherworldly labyrinth. Plan and prepare to overcome numerous obstacles, battles, and defeat monsters in a bid to outwit the formidable game system and reach the deepest level of the Dungeon.

Players can enjoy a newly polished and refined iteration of Final Fantasy’s classic Active Time Battle (ATB) system brought to you by original creator, Hiroyuki Ito. Dungeon Encounters features an expansive range of fantasy inspired characters by character designer Ryoma Ito, offering players a unique take on the dungeon crawler genre, and the ability to customize their team in order to complete the challenges and obstacles effectively. Fans can also enjoy a soundtrack overseen by musical director Nobuo Uematsu, featuring a modern take on classical tracks, as they put their minds to the test and venture through the many levels of Dungeon Encounters.

Dungeon Encounters will be available digitally for the Nintendo Switch system, PlayStation 4 console and PC via Steam on October 14, 2021.

Pre-orders are available now for the Nintendo Switch system and Steam with a 20% discount until late October. Dungeon Encounters will be available to purchase on the PlayStation Store from launch on October 14 with a 20% discount for PlayStation Plus members until October 28.
