Critically acclaimed tactical RPG Triangle Strategy has been delisted from the Nintendo eShop.
A post on the official Square Enix account on X confirmed that the game is temporarily unavailable, and that while it’s set to return there’s no confirmed date for this yet.
“Triangle Strategy is temporarily unavailable to purchase on Nintendo Switch eShop,” the message reads. “Those who have already bought the game will be able to download it.
“We are working on this and will update when the game is able to be purchased again.”
This isn’t the first time a Square Enix RPG has been delisted from the eShop. In March, Octopath Traveler was removed from the eShop, but it took more than six weeks to return.
As is the case now, Square Enix didn’t provide a reason for Octopath Traveler’s delisting, but it was speculated that it may have been related to Square Enix recently acquiring the publishing rights for the game from Nintendo.
Nintendo also published Triangle Strategy outside of Japan, so a similar situation may have occurred here.
VGC’s Triangle Strategy review calls it “an enormous tactical RPG with a solid turn-based battle system”, saying: “Its epic plot and lengthy dialogue may be a bit overbearing, but anyone willing to take on an extremely detailed story will have a wealth to do here.”
“The combat is solid, the story is epic – if a little too much at times – and there are multiple wildly different plot routes (often guided by the ‘Scales of Conviction’ gimmick, in which the player has to try to convince other members in their party to go along with their decision),” we wrote.
“Add to this the fact that completing the game unlocks a New Game+ mode, which encourages multiple playthroughs, and there’s potentially hundreds of hours of content here for any players willing to take it on.”
