A turn-based strategy game from Square Enix and Artdink, this is one that fans of the genre have had their eyes on for some time - happily the wait to play it for ourselves is about to be over.

Strange name choice aside - the game looks far better than its title suggests - this is a game that very much puts the focus on strategy and careful gameplay. You will need your wits about you to succeed at this game!

But when exactly does Triangle Strategy come out, and what do we know about it so far? Read on for all that information and more!

When is the Triangle Strategy release date?

Triangle Strategy was released on Friday 4th March 2022, which is today! You should be able to jump into the game now if you haven't already, so what are you waiting for?

What platforms can I get Triangle Strategy on?

Triangle Strategy will be exclusive to the Nintendo Switch when it releases in March. No port to another platform has even been rumoured at this point, but it is definitely the sort of game that we could imagine being ported to PC at some point in the future.

Will Triangle Strategy come to PC?

As mentioned, this does feel like a game that should come to computers at some point, but will Triangle Strategy actually get a PC release?

A PC release for Triangle Strategy has not been announced at this point, but Nintendo's exclusivity for the game is said to last 12 months. So if it is going to happen, don't expect to see Triangle Strategy on PC until March 2023 at the earliest.

Can I pre-order Triangle Strategy?

Triangle Strategy pre-orders are ready to add to your basket, with GAME having the title listed for £49.99.

Don't forget that when you pre-order, you will get it at the lowest price it drops to between now and release - if it drops at all, that is.

Triangle Strategy story and gameplay

As previously mentioned, Triangle Strategy is a turn-based tactical role-playing game and battles will take place across a grid-based playing field.

Opponents will be computer generated ones and the aim of the game is to take them out and win the fight. Each character on your team has their own abilities to use and you will find that they also have set values that determine what they can and can't do.

You also have the option to use the environment to further your cause with certain things, such as fire, being used to deal crushing blows to your opposition.

And here is the official synopsis:

"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."
