Atlus released Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl – a remake of the first Etrian Odyssey – in 2013. Now a remake of the series’ second entry, titled Etrian Odyssey II Untold: The Knight of the Fafnir, is coming to Japan later this year.

What led Atlus to revisit Etrian Odyssey’s second entry? Atlus’ Shigeo Komori explained to Famitsu:

The previous installment, The Millennium Girl, was a new attempt in the Etrian Odyssey series. It made me nervous as to whether it would receive everyone’s acceptance, but thankfully we got impressions like “It was fun!” from many who played it, so that made me very happy. Also, because we have heard thankful voices like “While I’m waiting for the next numbered title, I’d also like to have the new Etrian Odyssey Untold series continue!”, that has given us the push to make the second.

Famitsu has shared screenshots from Etrian Odyssey II Untold: The Knight of the Fafnir. We also have learned a bit about the game’s plot.

Etrian Odyssey II Untold: The Knight of the Fafnir is set in the land of High Lagaard. The game stars Arianna, princess of the Duchy of Caledonia, as she heads to Ginnunga. Ginnunga is made up of mysterious old ruins and houses a ceremony that takes place only once a century.

When Ginnunga and her traveling party reach Ginnunga, the protagonist’s body is struck by an unknown ailment. This turns his body grotesque as his eyes go red and his hands and feet harden.

SEGA reported its first quarter financial results earlier today, which unfortunately have brought about some disappointing news.

For the period ending June 30, SEGA’s profits dropped by 57.4 percent. While revenue rose slightly year-over-year to ¥88.3 billion ($858 million), net profits dipped to ¥5.5 billion. Half-year losses are estimated to come in at ¥7 billion ($68 million).

Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth was the only title released this quarter. It did quite well having sold 250,000 copies in Japan. Another 1.7 million game units originated from older titles.

SEGA’s arcade business primarily drove revenue for the company. Pachinko and Pachislot drove ¥47.5 billion ($461 million) in revenue and an operating profit of ¥13 billion ($126 million).

Last year, SEGA acquired Atlus and its parent company Index. The two have been working together for several months now; so what’s that like?

Atlus representative director and president Yukio Sugino told Famitsu:

“Compared to Atlus, Sega are on a much bigger scale [as developers], and our respective know-how is completely different. They’re much more advanced than us when it comes to tools and middleware.”

Atlus CEO Naoto Hiraoka added the following when Famitsu mentioned how both Atlus and SEGA seem pleased with each other and that there will be more from them and their synergy together in the future:

“That’s right. The other day, we held a briefing session with Sugino and myself on Atlus’ side, with [Yakuza producer, Sega CCO Toshiro] Nagoshi and others from Sega to discuss our title line-up for the next three years, where we talked about things such as, ‘Ah, with that kind of lineup, we can do this and that.’”

And how about any collaborations between Atlus and SEGA? Sugino said that the timing for joint projects and such is often difficult, but by knowing what both are working on well ahead of time, it makes it much easier for such collaborations to be possible. It may not be entirely surprising to see collaborations in about three years’ time.
