New gameplay trailer released for Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection
On Wednesday, Atlus provided a new gameplay video to ANN for Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection, which is an HD remastered collection of the first three Etrian Odyssey games. The video showcases the features of the games in the collection. This collection will be released on June 1, for Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam. The release includes touch functionality for the Switch version, new remastered graphics, and new character artwork.
According to Nintendo, this RPG franchise allows players to embark on a journey of discovery, mapping deep dungeons, and building customized parties for exploring and engaging in tactical combat. Players can play as the leader of a guild of adventurers, searching for rare treasures and secrets within the depths of a vast, sprawling labyrinth. They can traverse and draw a map of the environment while encountering enemies large and small in turn-based combat, then return to town to rest, sell materials for better equipment, and manage their party.
Etrian Odyssey Nexus is the most recent game in the Etrian Odyssey dungeon-crawling RPG franchise. The game was shipped in Japan in August 2018, and it is the last game in the series developed for the 3DS platform. The game was shipped in the West in February 2019. Atlus teased a “next stage” for the franchise in 2018.
