Etrian Odyssey X was announced to be coming to the Nintendo 3DS back in April, and the game released in Japan on August 2, just a couple weeks back. We’ve been wondering when the game would be released in the West, and it looks like we will have to wait a while longer. Publisher and developer Atlus has just announced that Etrian Odyssey X will release in the Americas and Europe, and will be renamed as Etrian Oddysey Nexus, on February 5, 2019 for $39.99.

In this game, various explorers gather together to uncover the mysteries of the archipelago of Lemuria. It is being described as the definitive Etrian Odyssey experience by Atlus, and is made to be enjoyed by both newcomers and veterans. There will be a total  of 19 classes to choose from, along with a brand new class known as the Hero class. This will be the last game from the series that will be released for the Nintendo 3DS, so you might want to pick it up if you still have your 3DS with you.

To go along with this announcement, Atlus have also released a few screenshots for the game’s Western localization version. Take a look at them below to catch glimpses of dialogue, the battle screen, the world map, and even the box art. Once again, watch out for Etrian Odyssey Nexus releasing in the West on February 5, 2019.

It’s Wednesday, which means it’s time for the newest Media Create charts, that record video game hardware and software sales in Japan over the last week. To what I imagine will be to literally no one’s surprise, the Switch managed to top charts again, selling 50,799 units- as always, more than every other system on the market put together. PS4 was second place, with 19,002 units (a bad showing, but actually an increase from last week), while the 3DS saw a surge and ended up in third place with 12,586 units.

Some of the 3DS’s popularity doubtless has to do with Etrian Odyssey X‘s release on the platform last week. The newest game in Atlus’ dungeon crawling series, and the final one planned for the 3DS, topped software charts, with almost 72,000 units sold. Namco’s Pro Baseball on Switch was second place, with WarioWare Gold taking a strong third place finish. Elsewhere, Nintendo evergreen games continued to leg it out on the charts as well.

With the release schedule beginning to fill out in the coming weeks, it will be fascinating to see how well (or not) all platforms and games end up doing in Japan over the next few months.

Etrian Odyssey X is an upcoming game by Atlus that is going to be released for the Nintendo 3DS. It looks like Atlus is not ready to give up on the system just yet! However, this game will be the last in the series to release for the 3DS. We’ve already learnt quite a few details about the game and seen some trailers, and now a brand new trailer has been released for the game called ‘Adventurers of Armoroad.’

This new trailer introduces a bunch of classes that will be playable in the game and this includes the Zodiac, Farmer, Shinobi, Prince/ Princess, and Shogun. Some of the other classes were already introduced earlier, and it looks like there will be a wide variety of classes for players to choose from. The trailer is in Japanese, but it also offers a glimpse of the look and style of the different classes.

You can check out the new trailer below.

Atlus isn’t the kind of company that can just let a console die. They did it with the PS2 with Persona 4, with Persona 5 on the PS3 and now they’re helping keep the 3DS propped up with a new trailer for their dungeon crawler, Etrian Odyssey X. The title is a crossover of their previous games with their most popular characters, as well as the player’s own avatar.

The long running fantasy series has seen several entries on Nintendo’s aging handheld already, including the Persona 3 and 4 spin off, Persona Q, which was basically a skin on top of this series. Players proceed through the dungeons in first person, having to meticulously create their own map as they go.

The trailer is naturally in Japanese as the game is launching there in the next couple of months, leaving exact details out of our understanding, but it’s full of energy none the less and shows some of the battle system. The game is out August 2nd in Japan with a western launch to be announced. Check it out for yourself just below.

So far, we’ve received quite a bit of information about Etrian Odyssey X, including details about the different NPCs, information about the new Hero class, and a lot more. Now, the Japanese box art for the game has been released and it has been designed by the series’ character designer Yuji Himukai.

Etrian Odyssey X will be the final game in the series to launch on the Nintendo 3DS. The game will be set in the island of Lemuria and the floating city of Maginia. The new Hero class will be introduced in this game and they also appear on the newly released box art. The Hero class will possess some unique abilities and skills such as the ability to leave an after-image after an attack which can then be used as a decoy. This skill can also be used in conjunction with other skills.

You can check out the box art below. Etrian Odyssey X is set to release for the 3DS on August 2 in Japan.

It was only recently announced that Atlus would be releasing Etrian Odyssey X on the 3DS and it will be the last game from the series to release on this platform. Now, Atlus has released a whole bunch of new screenshots which showcase more of thew new class called Hero along with some of the game’s various NPCs.

Some of the new NPCs we get to see are Leo, Caris, Rob, Marco, Brigitta, and Oliver. We also get to see a bit of one of the dungeons in the game in some screenshots.

First off, we get to learn more details about the new Hero class. His force boost is called Braveheart, his skill is known as Resistance Brave and his force break is Miracle Edge. One of the screenshots also offer a glimpse of the novice skill tree. One of the unique things about a Hero is that they leave an after-image when they attack which lasts for a turn. This acts as a decoy and can also be used in tandem with some skills.

You can check out all of the screenshots below. Etrian Odyssey X is set to release exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS on August 2 in Japan. As of now, a Western release hasn’t been announced.

While Nintendo is now mainly focused on their new console, the Nintendo Switch, it appears that the 3DS is still very much alive and kicking. It seems that Atlus is not ready to give up on the 3DS just yet, as they’ve announced that Etrian Odyssey X will be releasing for the 3DS. They’ve now provided a new trailer, box art, and more details about the latest entry into the Etrian Odyssey series. Additionally, a new class known as “Hero” will be introduced with this game and you can get a glimpse of this class on the box art.

However, the developer also mentioned that this will be the last game from the series to release on the console. The setting of the game is the island of Lemuria and the floating city of Maginia. You can get glimpses of different locations in the trailer, but we’ll have to wait for more information regarding what the game’s world will be like.

You can check out the trailer and box art below. Etrian Odyssey X is set to release for the 3DS on August 2, 2018 in Japan.
