Today The Pokémon Company International showcased the Mega-Evolved form of Audino in a new trailer made especially for the crowds at gamescom, taking place this week in Cologne, Germany.
Audino was not known to evolve from or to any other form, so this is an interesting twist in the mysterious story of Mega Evolution.
The official Etrian Odyssey II Untold: The Knight of the Fafnir website has details about three supporting characters in the game. You’ll find information about each below.
Flavio
– Protagonist’s childhood friend
– Currently a member of the Mizgarz expedition group
– Always-cheerful, talkative, and the life of the party of the guild
– Straightforward, so he’s often the guy who keeps others in check.
Chloe
– War Magus
– Traveled alongside Bertrand
– Strange deadpan girl who doesn’t talk much
– Only budges when she finds something interesting
– The few times she actually speaks, she can be a little outspoken, but never means any harm
Bertrand
– The protagonist meets Bertrand at the Ginnunga Ruins
– This is where a certain ceremony takes place every hundred years
– Bertrand is a feeble and irresponsible guy
– This kind of goes against the ideal image of his class as a paladin

Hyrule Warriors’ development is complete, and the game has now been released in Japan. However, Koei Tecmo doesn’t intend to end its support anytime soon.
On the official Japanese Hyrule Warriors Twitter account, a message posted states that the game will receive “long-term updates and a large-scale mode expansion”.
Here’s the full translation:
“New information to commemorate the release. Hyrule Warriors is a “festive Zelda title” that was made with much effort. In order to have you folks enjoy it for longer, we’re currently planning long-term updates and a large-scale mode expansion. We’ve received a few bug reports, so we’ll be working on that as well.”
“For these reasons, the development staff will be working in the midst of Obon (Japanese holiday). Keep it a secret from everyone!”
