Square Enix released new details and images for HD-2D action RPG The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales. The new update introduces the Age of Magic and its major characters, as well as some of the game’s enhancement 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 Age of Magic is further back in time than the Age of Reconstruction and sees humanity at its zenith, with advances in magic helping to drive back the beast tribes; however, given its future, some part of it is clearly misaligned. Humanity is joined by the nation of Weyzn, which relies on magic and is supported by two magical research institutions. Forthewor seeks technological advancements through any means, while Formanit aims to enhance people’s lives.

Fausta is the head and founder of the Formanit Institute. Previously part of Forthewor, she has a rigourous approach to research that makes her trusted by her employees. Marnie is a researcher at Formanit and an expert in mechanical engineering. She is carrying out field tests of magical organisms known as thaumata. Hildebrandt is the current Director of the Forthewor Institute. Appointed at a young age, he priorisites results and is highly regarded for his magical breakthroughs. Finally, Ikarus is the head of Weyzn’s nobility. He is concerned about the reckless way Forthewor is conduct its research and seeks advice from Fausta.

The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales gives players seven different weapon types to use. Palyers can find stronger weapons for each type during their adventures, which will offer stronger attack power and stronger special attacks. Weapons can be found scattered throughout caves and ruins in each of the different eras, and can be customised with magicite that provides various effects. Rarer magicte provides more powerful effects, such as adding more bolts to the lightning hammer magicite.

In addition, players can unlock new magic for companion Faie. Finding new magic unlocks minigames labelled as Faie’s Magic Lessons. Each minigame sees players earning points by using the newly-learned magic, such as sprinting to avoid an avalanche and warping between moving and sinking platforms in a lava-filled stage. Scoring highly unlocks new soundtrack records that players can listen to in the in-game jukebox.

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 on all platforms.
