The following teaser was also released:

And that’s it! No news information other than that.

Atlus announced a new Shin Megami Tensei game for Switch many months ago. It’s been in the shadows since then, but the company will finally have something concrete to say next week.

As was previously known, the project is resurfacing on October 23. Atlus confirmed today that news will be delivered in a live stream. The presentation will air on October 23 at 5 AM PT / 8 AM ET / 1 PM in the UK / 2 PM in Europe. We have the relevant stream below.

Etrian Odyssey V has arrived in North America and Europe. Get a look at the official launch trailer from Atlus below.

System: 3DS
Release date: October 17, 2017
Developer: Atlus
Publisher: Atlus


Etrian Odyssey V: Beyond the Myth makes its numbered return since Legends of the Titan released back in 2013 for North American 3DS owners and brings with it a fresh new outlook while retaining the series’ staple of creating your own characters and telling yet another story of Yggdrasil, for better or for worse. While I’m a firm believer that Etrian Odyssey is one of the best dungeon RPGs around, if not the one currently leading the pack, Etrian Odyssey V also reminds me that while the classic mode is perfectly fine, the lack of any significant story makes for an overall grindy and unrewarding experience that doesn’t have exciting enough gameplay to make up for it.

Update (10/16): In an interesting twist of fate, Atlus has released Shin Megami Tensei: Synchronicity Prologue on PC. It can be downloaded for free here until December 24.


Original (10/13): Atlus has released a rather interesting trailer for Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux, which will be released in Japan on October 26 and next year in the rest of the world. The trailer initially shows off a Metroidvania-style game featuring Jack Frost and Pyro Jack. This is a callback to Jack Bros., an action game for the Virtual Boy featuring those characters. Sadly, this apparent sequel to Jack Bros. is quickly declared “fake” by the trailer, which then moves on to actual game footage. Give it a watch:

Like many Atlus games, Etrian Odyssey V: Beyond the Myth will be sold with some special launch goodies. An official unboxing video showing off the full contents can be found below.

Etrian Odyssey V’s file size is in. If you plan on downloading the game, be prepared to have 4,364 blocks of space ready. That amounts to 545.5MB.

Atlus has a new Etrian Odyssey V trailer focusing on the Shaman class. We have the video along with a brief introduction below.

Sometimes a party doesn’t need more damage dealers or absorbers. Sometimes a party needs someone who can bring the buffs and make the team an even deadlier fighting machine than before. Luckily, the wise and powerful Shamans does just that and more! The spiritual Shaman is a support class that utilizes various prayers to help allies deal more damage and take more hits. Besides helping boost stats and raising resistances for the party, Shamans can even nullify all of its buffs to unleash a deadly attack wave against foes. In the right situations, this move can mean the difference between life or death.

Etrian Odyssey V’s European release date is official. The digital version will be happening on October 17. On November 3, the retail release will be taking place.

Etrian Odyssey V will be out in North America physically and digitally on October 17. A demo is out now on the eShop.
