Following the game’s June release date announcement, Square Enix released over fifty new screenshots and various details for HD-2D action RPG The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales. The information introduces the game’s story, world, and characters, and details some of its major systems.

The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales is set on the continent of Philabieldia. The continent is overrun by beast tribes, with the Kingdom of Huther, under its magic barrier, being humanity’s last bastion. The game stars adventurer Elliot and his fairy companion Faie, who seek to lift a curse placed on Princess Heuria of Huther. To do so, they travel to different ages using the Doorway of Time, recently rediscovered within ancient ruins. The game begins in the present-day Age of Safekeeping, with Elliot and Faie journeying across the continent’s thousand-year history into the dark Age of Reconstruction, the golden Age of Magic, and the start of civilisation in the Age of Budding.

Elliot (voiced in English by Phillip Reich) is a compassionate young adventurer. He grew up in the kingdom’s orphanage and donates a portion of his earnings to it while helping to look after younger orphans. Faie (Brenna Larsen) is a fairy that only Elliot can see or hear. While a trusty sidekick, she struggles to remember anything from her time before meeting Elliot. Princess Heuria (Sura Siu) is the fair and kindhearted princess of Huther. Her powers allow her to cast the spell of Safekeeping that protects the kingdom, but it means she has to stay in the castle to maintain the spell.

King Hichard (Brent Mukai) is Heuria’s father and a benevolent ruler. He prioritises the kingdom’s wellbeing, but is concerned for Heuria. Kaifried (Brad Davidorf) is the king’s minister and a renowned swordsman. He would prefer not to rely on the spell of safekeeping and advocates researching new magic to help protect the kingdom. Finally, Euygene (Willow Engel) is a magic scholar. Formerly an adventurer, he gave it up and became a scholar trusted by the king, recommending his friend Elliot to him.

The game sees players taking Elliot across the continent, using weapons to fight against beastmen while exploring caves and ruins. Elliot can equip two weapons at once, with most weapons having a special attack unleashed by holding down the attack button. Weapons include swords, shields, bows, boomerangs, bombs, spears, hammers, and chain-and-sickles, each with its own strengths and style.

Elliot has a variety of actions to use to explore the world, such as using attacks to cross terrain or diving underneath logs. Faie also has various abilities, including picking up items and helping to fight enemies. She gains new abilities throughout the game needed to overcome obstacles, like casting sprint magic on Elliot or allowing him to wrap directly to where she is. Players can directly control Faie using the right analogue stick, with local co-op play allowing a second player to control her. Faie can also revive Elliot at the cost of money.

During the game, players will find magicite fragments. These can be brought to the magicite shop, where they can be formed into full pieces of magicite that provide special effects. These can be equipped as sets onto Elliot’s weapons, helping to complement they player’s play style. The more magicite players form, the higher rank players gain, which gives them a greater chance of creating rare magicite. Potential effects of magicite includes providing omnidirectional defense for a shield after swinging a sword, extending attack ranges, and providing invulnerability when using a special attack.

Finally, Square Enix announced some changes it has made following feedback from the game’s demo. Elliot now has increased movement speed, and there are also additional difficulty levels, more magicite convenience features, and adjustments to weapon shortcut menu. The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales will release on June 18, 2026. The game will be available for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2, with physical and digital pre-orders available now, except digitally on Nintendo Switch 2.
