The first game was released for the Nintendo DS in 2007 and tasks players with creating a party of adventurers who explore the mysterious Yggdrasil Labyrinth, a vast underground maze of woods that emerged near the small town of Etria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most unique aspect of the series is that dungeon maps are drawn by players themselves. As they advance through the labyrinth, players must map out the walls, floors, hidden shortcuts, routes to avoid powerful enemies, and anything else of importance that will aid them in their journey.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection \u2014 Announcement Trailer | Nintendo Switch, Steam\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/21_pE4e-1oU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br><em>Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection<\/em> features newly remastered graphics, with both the 3D dungeons and 2D character and monster illustrations now presented in high definition. Battle effects have also been improved over the original games. The collection adds a new character portrait for every class type in all three games, bringing the total options to five for each class. It is also now possible to use portraits from other classes too, increasing the amount of freedom that you have when creating your characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other additions include the ability to select from three difficulty options, an auto-mapping function, additional save-slots, and online support for <em>Etrian Odyssey III\u2019s <\/em>sea quests. Furthermore, series composer Yuzo Koshiro has created a new battle theme for the sixth stratum in <em>Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City<\/em>. So not only will these HD remasters look better, but they will also be easier to play and contain new features.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The latest game in the <em>Etrian Odyssey<\/em> series was <em>Etrian Odyssey Nexus<\/em>, which was released for the Nintendo 3DS in Japan in 2018 and worldwide in 2019. The developers released a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=i0T_zIR9m60\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">teaser trailer<\/a> for a new <em>Etrian Odyssey<\/em> project in July 2018, but almost five years have passed, and we have yet to hear any further information. Development of a new entry was also briefly touched on during the livestream.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u300e\u4e16\u754c\u6a39\u306e\u8ff7\u5bae\u2160\u30fb\u2161\u30fb\u2162 HD REMASTER\u300f\u767a\u58f2\u6c7a\u5b9a\u8a18\u5ff5 \u751f\u653e\u9001\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DHmzgqvSxGk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>According to the development staff comments that begin at around the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/live\/DHmzgqvSxGk?feature=share&amp;t=3420\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">57-minute mark<\/a> of the stream, a new entry in the series will not be released any time soon: \u201cTo be honest, it will still take quite some time to develop a new <em>Etrian Odyssey<\/em> game, as the hardware has changed from the two-screen DS (Nintendo DS\/3DS).\u201d So while there is no official movement on that front, it\u2019s likely that preparations for a new title are steadily underway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was also noted that the new remasters are the result of continued research and were created based on the concept of wanting the original three titles to be playable on current consoles. They would also like to utilize the feedback from those who play these remasters when developing a new entry, so fans can look forward to what lies in store for the future of the <em>Etrian Odyssey<\/em> series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.atlus.com\/etrianorigins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection<\/a><\/em> is set to be released on June 1 for the Nintendo Switch and PC (Steam).<br><br><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:12px\"><em>Written by.
