Atlus

Atlus CEO Naoto Hiraoka was interviewed in this week’s issue of Famitsu. On the topic of the company’s 2016 and future plans, Hiraoka said:

“In 2015, we were able to develop existing IP like Persona 4: Dancing All Night and Etrian Mystery Dungeon. In 2016, starting with Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir, we plan to release a large number of titles. In the summer, we’ll launch the long-awaited Persona 5. Of course, in addition to that we have several unannounced titles. I have no doubt this will be a year Atlus’ popular series all gather together.”

Etrian Odyssey V is long overdue, and should hit Japan this year. As for other surprises? We can only hope that Atlus will continue to spread the love on Nintendo platforms!

Etrian Odyssey V was announced way back in November 2014. Aside from a teaser trailer, Atlus shared relatively little about the project.

Atlus’ Shigeo Komori finally provided an update (although brief) about Etrian Odyssey V in this week’s Famitsu. He said that development is in the final stages, and information will come “a bit later after the cold weather has warmed”. In other words, expect to hear news around spring or so.

We actually don’t even have a platform for Etrian Odyssey V. But given the series’ history, it’ll likely be on a Nintendo platform.

Like pretty much every Wii U game, Genei Ibun Roku #FE is available in Japan as a disc title and as a digital release on the eShop. But if you’re looking for the absolute quickest way to play in terms of loading times, you may want to go with the latter options. While the two are pretty comparable, the download version shaves a few seconds off here and there for things like the initial startup and going into battles.
