SEGA comments on Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection’s $80 price

When Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection was announced for Switch last month, some were surprised by the price point. Atlus – and parent company SEGA – is charging $80 for the package. That’s quite a steep amount given that other similar packages haven’t really hit that mark.

SEGA has now commented on the decision in an interview with IGN. The company pointed to the amount of content included, believing that “players will be very excited for in the first three games of the remastered series”.

SEGA’s full statement on the price point for Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection is as follows:

“Yes, the collection is available for purchase at $80. With this purchase, players will get 30+ hours of gameplay for Etrian Odyssey HD and 50+ hours for Etrian Odyssey II and III, plus free DLC portrait sets of popular characters from other Atlus IP when they pre-order. That is a lot of content and gameplay that we think players will be very excited for in the first three games of the remastered series for Nintendo Switch and Steam.”

All of the games included in Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection will be available individually on the eShop. However, that does raise the price even more. Etrian Odyssey I, II, and III HD are all set at $39.99 each.

Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection launches for Switch on June 1, 2023.
