Etrian Odyssey

A new Etrian Odyssey game could be on the way, based on a newly opened teaser site from Atlus. You can find the page here.

On the site, Atlus included a picture of a giant tree and the title, “This is not broccoli #ATLUS.” The tree and font both seem like they could be connected to Etrian Odyssey. We should find out in a few days!
