Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight coming to North America this summer

Atlus announced today that Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight is launching in North America this summer. It will be available in stores and on the eShop for $49.99.

Read on below for an overview of Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold’s features. We’ve also gone ahead and attached the game’s English announcement trailer.

Creatures of Comfort: Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold is the seventh entry in the Etrian franchise (eighth if you count Persona Q, and you know we do) and has a level of refinement that could only come from consumer feedback. Improved systems and mapping make Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold one of the most approachable Etrian titles to date.

Untold Classics: Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold has two ways to play the game, continuing the tradition of the Untold franchise. Classic mode revisits the original Etrian Odyssey 2 with updated graphics, player conveniences, and a full roster of classes. Story mode features a fixed party, but includes voiced dialogue, animated cutscenes and a bittersweet arc that explores the relationship between Arianna and the Fafnir Knight.

What the Fafnir? The titular knight is the Fafnir class and is a never-before-seen addition to the Etrian franchise. He has the ability to transform into a beastly demonic form, which enhances his attributes and abilities, and is only available in the Story mode.

Bring a Blanket: Just as in Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl and Persona Q, in addition to normal difficulty, players can choose Picnic mode for a low-difficulty experience or the masochi… er, veterans amongst them can choose Expert mode for a punishing play-through.

Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight will be available this summer for the Nintendo 3DS. This single player RPG is rated T by the ESRB. Details about physical bonus items, DLC, and more will be available in the future. Updates will be made available on the official website at www.atlus.com/untold2
