If you happen to be a fan of the first Bravely Default, then know that the second game is nearing completion when it comes to development. This information comes from a new report, which details the upcoming JRPG’s current progress.
The Bravely series is no stranger to censorship when it comes to the JRPG leaving the land of the rising sun. Way back in 2016, The localized version of Bravely Second features censored costumes in comparison to the original Japanese version.
Although it remains up in the air whether or not Bravely Default 2 will be a victim of the current year tidal wave, we do know that the upcoming game’s development cycle is near complete.
Thanks to website dualshockers.com, the following tweet was dug up for the public to view:
本作のヒットのおかげでデフォルト２が開発がスタートできました。
BDFE開発の皆さま、プレイヤーの皆さま、ありがとうございます。
そして次は私たちのターンです…！
デフォルト２の開発もいよいよ終盤戦。
がんばろー！

If you can’t read the above tweet, here’s a translation courtesy of the publication site:
“[End of Service Notification]: Bravely Default Fairy’s Effect will be shutting down on August 31, 2020, at 1500 JST. We would like to offer our passionate gratitude to the players, and our sincere apologies for this announcement. BDFE was a big hit and it’s thanks to it that the development of Default 2 could begin. We offer our thanks to the BDFE development team and to all its players. And now, it’s our turn! The development of Default 2 is finally in its final stage. We’ll keep going!”
If that news has your interest piqued, the second game explores a new world, a new story, and all-new heroes according to the official description. Moreover, if you haven’t already, you can check out the latest trailer showing off parts of the second game’s story and gameplay right here:
“A new world, a new story, and all-new Heroes of Light await in an original RPG experience arriving on the Nintendo Switch system in 2020! This successor to the original Bravely Default game comes from the team that brought you the Bravely series and Octopath Traveler, and features music from Revo, acclaimed composer of the Bravely Default soundtrack.”
Sadly, no due date has been announced. The only thing known right now is that Nintendo, Square Enix, and Team Asano will release Bravely Default 2 sometime this year (2020) for Switch.
