Bravely Default 2's Steam Release Date has just been announced. The highly-praised JRPG from Square Enix is finally making its way to PC on Steam. The game features Seth, Gloria, Elvis, and Adelle on a grand adventure in the world of Excillant.

Bravely Default 2 Steam Release Date: September 2, 2021

JRPG fans on PC that have eagerly been awaiting the Bravely Default 2 Steam Release don't have much longer to wait. Bravely Default 2 comes out on Steam next week, on September 2. The long-awaited Steam port was announced on Square Enix's official Twitter page with a new trailer, which you can see below:

The new trailer shows off a mix of both story, gameplay, and exploration elements. The game's Official Steam Page describes the game's premise:

“Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, nature's masters,
The Crystals' power exceeds the hand of man,
And if unleashed, would bring down death, disaster,
Calamity and blight upon the land.
―Ancient quatrain of Kingdom Musa

Guided by fate, it’s up to you to stop the forces that threaten these heroes and all of Excillant.”

The game's four main characters also have distinct stories and playstyles. Seth is a spry young sailor, the main protagonist. He meets Gloria, an exiled princess whose kingdom was robbed of its Crystals. In true Square Enix JRPG fashion, together, they set out on a quest to recover them. During the course of this quest, they meet the two other major characters – Adelle and Elvis. Elvis is a scholar who travels the world, looking for an asterisk that will unravel the last spellbook left by his master. Meanwhile, Adelle is a mercenary for hire and is Elvis' bodyguard.

Bravely Default 2's gameplay is akin to a traditional turn-based JRPG. It features a job system with “innovative and strategic” battles. The Brave and Default system also augments the run-of-the-mill turn-based battles. Brave Points (BP) will dictate how many actions a character can perform in one turn. Choosing to make characters “Default” stocks up to three BP to use in a single turn. However, they may also choose to “Brave” – this uses more than one BP to perform multiple actions. The balance between stockpiling and spending BP is a key component of Bravely Default 2's battles.

Additionally, the Bravely Default 2 Steam Release will feature the same job system as the original release. Each character has both a primary and secondary job class, each of which have different abilities. Throughout the course of your journey, you'll have to face off against “Asterisk bearers.” Defeating them will allow you to change jobs.

Again, the Bravely Default 2 Steam Release Date is September 2, 2021. It's also now available for pre-order. Meanwhile, you can also check out Bravely Default's mobile spin-off.
