Triangle Strategy Expands to PS5 and Xbox Series – Now Available Beyond Nintendo Switch
Triangle Strategy, one of Square Enix’s top games from the past decade, initially launched in early 2022. This turn-based strategy RPG offers engaging gameplay and a compelling storyline. Led by Tomoya Asano, the development team has delivered a Tactical RPG reminiscent of Final Fantasy Tactics and Ogre Battle. The game boasts vibrant aesthetics, deep mechanics, and a surprising narrative that explores political and social themes. The journey to Norzelia, a world where the kingdoms of Glenbrook, Aesfrost, and Hyzante maintain a delicate peace, is one of Square Enix’s most intriguing recent offerings. While first released on Nintendo Switch, Triangle Strategy is now also playable on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series. It has not yet been added to Game Pass.
Triangle Strategy’s Compelling Gameplay and Political Landscape Captivates Players Across Platforms
A review of Triangle Strategy praised the game, stating: “Triangle Strategy became one of my favorites on the Nintendo Switch and in the last 10 years. It’s a game that was meticulously crafted for classic favorites from yesteryears, but with some fresh ideas to keep the genre just as fun today as it was back then when it seemed like it would never fade away. Fire Emblem has always kept the flame burning, but now it doesn’t have to fight alone for the relevance and merit of Japanese Tactical RPGs. Triangle Strategy is joining in and you won’t be able to put it down once you start. After an initial period of very slow worldbuilding and character development, you’ll find yourself mesmerized by every new event and always striving to outdo each new battle.” This critically acclaimed title continues to draw players into its strategic battles and intricate political landscape.

| Brief Summary | Command a group of warriors as Serenoa, heir of House Wolffort, in a tangled plot where your decisions make all the difference. Key choices you make will bolster one of three convictions—Utility, Morality, Liberty—which together make up Serenoa’s world view and influence how the story will unfold. When faced with truly momentous decisions, multiple characters will weigh in by casting their votes on the Scales of Conviction. In these moments, the allies and decisions you make can determine the fate of whole nations and the continent of Norzelia itself.
Finding the best location in turn-based battles can tip the tide of combat in your favor. Position units on higher ground to take control of the battlefield and gain the advantage with increased range. You can also flank enemies on both sides, then strike from behind for a powerful follow-up attack. Elemental chain reactions are also an important part of combat. For example, use fire to melt icy terrain, then use lightning to electrocute it. Push the enemy into the electrified water to see sparks fly in stunning HD-2D visuals! TRIANGLE STRATEGY on Meta Quest offers a complex, tactical battle system enhanced by intuitive VR controls that make for an immersive hands-on RPG experience. Utilize 360-degree 3D movement on the battlefield and place characters yourself to fine-tune combat strategy – with the characters’ fates literally in your hands, players can experience the dramatic story of clashing kingdoms like never before. The title also supports Meta Quest’s Passthrough feature on Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest 3S, meshing the game’s environment with real-world surroundings to create next-level immersion. |
