You may have heard of Bravely Default, a game released from Japan that also goes by the name Bravely Default: Flying Fairy. The game was initially released in 2012 by publisher Square Enix and developer Silicon Studio. Ever since its release, fans have been waiting for a sequel to the game but their wishes have gone unfulfilled, that is, until recently when a rumor surfaced online that Square Enix maybe releasing a possible sequel to the game. The new bravely game rumors started when the official Twitter account of the game posted the following tweet.
既報ですがー
＼オクトパス 100万 出荷／
ありがとうございます！
さてさて……⁉︎
今後ともスクエニ11BDのゲームにご注目下さいませm_ _m pic.twitter.com/4Y2Pj2CMq3

A Google translation of the Japanese text reads,
We’ve already announced it, but…
＼Octopath Traveler, 1 million units shipped! ／
Thank you!
Now, now…
Please look forward to the next Square-Enix 11 BD games m_ _m
Now the question is whether the tweet hints at a possible sequel or a port meant for a different console. The fan art below was part of the 1 million followers celebration and some people speculated that the girl in the fan art may be Airy, a fairy character from the game. However, no one has confirmed this as of yet.
1,000,000 Travelers!
1,000,000 Thanks!世界出荷＋DL数が100万本を突破しました！
……感謝感涙です。
皆さまの温かな応援、本当に本当にありがとうございます！これからもオクトパストラベラーをよろしくお願いいたします。(P)#オクトパストラベラー#OCTOPATHTRAVELER pic.twitter.com/Db2fEjID50— オクトパストラベラー公式 (@OCTOPATH_PR) August 3, 2018
It remains a mystery for now whether the tweet is meant to hint towards a new game or a port, however, in either case, it is good news nonetheless. Fans of the game will surely want it to be available on different platform possibly mobile.
