Prepare for excitement as Square Enix announces enticing save data bonuses linked to their latest HD-2D title, The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales, set to launch in June! This announcement brings not only the thrill of a new game but also the chance for players to unlock special rewards if they have save data from certain previous Square Enix games.
If you possess save files or, for some platforms, purchase history associated with your player account, you're in luck! You might be able to snag these bonuses. Interestingly, even demo save data could qualify for the bonus eligibility, which adds an extra layer of potential rewards for dedicated fans.
The eligible titles include a variety of beloved games: Octopath Traveler 0, Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake, Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster, Various Daylife, and TRIANGLE STRATEGY. Here’s a detailed look at the bonuses you can earn:

"Sword magicite 'Guidance of the Sacred Flame' - This bonus increases the damage your sword deals to enemies with 30% or lower vitality by 10%."DRAGON QUEST I & II HD-2D Remake
"Sword magicite 'Critical Hit' - This enhancement raises the sword’s critical-hit rate by 6%."BRAVELY DEFAULT FLYING FAIRY HD Remaster
"Sword magicite 'Brave' - This perk boosts sword damage by 10%, although it does consume a bit more shield stamina when guarding."VARIOUS DAYLIFE
"Sword magicite 'Expeditionary Wisdom' - This feature reduces sword charge time by 10%."TRIANGLE STRATEGY
"Sword magicite 'Counter Stance' - This upgrade enhances sword damage by 10% when your shield stamina is at 90% or higher."
It's important to note that to access these bonuses, the save data must be located on the same Switch 2 console. If you've been playing on the original Switch, you’ll need to transfer that save data over to the new system.
These intriguing bonuses can be claimed at any point, even if you create a save file for one of the eligible titles after starting The Adventures of Elliot. However, Square Enix has clarified that while this promotional offer coincides with the game's release, there's no guarantee it will continue indefinitely.
So, how can you claim these exciting items once The Adventures of Elliot launches on the Switch 2 on June 18, 2026? Follow these steps:
- From the title screen of The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales, select the Promotional Bonus option and link it to your corresponding titles.
- Linking occurs automatically when you open the relevant screen.
- After starting your new game, check the desk on the second floor of the orphanage during the Age of Safekeeping.
- To claim your bonuses, select the Claim bonuses option from the menu.
- Keep in mind that there are specific moments in the game when the orphanage may not be accessible, preventing you from claiming bonuses temporarily.
- You'll receive a Departure Brooch, which slightly increases the amount of tul (the in-game currency) and magicite fragments dropped by enemies.
