Etrian Odyssey IV Now Available
Long Standing RPG Series Debuts on 3DS, Delivering Deep Customization, Enhanced Graphics, Map Charting With Bottom Touch Screen, and New Casual Play Option
IRVINE, CALIFORNIA -- FEBRUARY 26, in the year of our
Lord 2013 -- ATLUS, a brand of Index Digital Media,
Inc., today announced the release of Etrian Odyssey™IV: Legends
of the Titan, available on the Nintendo 3DS, available in retail
stores as well as for digital download on Nintendo eShop. Etrian
Odyssey IV delivers a wealth of content with more than 30 hours
of RPG action, enhanced graphics and 3D effects, more immersive
3D dungeons, and upgradeable skyships that let players travel
and battle among the clouds. Those that pre-order or pick up
Etrian Odyssey IV at retail launch will be treated to a limited
edition art book, with exclusive images created by famed
illustrator Alexandra Douglass, as well as a music CD full of
early arrangements by game composer Yuzo Koshiro (while supplies
last).
Players will utilize the 3DS' bottom touch screen to chart out a
path and create maps to aid in the team's survival of the
dangers that await. The game delivers deep character creation
and party customization options, and an all-new casual play
option will provide greater accessibility for novices. Players
may access the guild card and character trading functionality
through the 3DS StreetPass feature, and alternately trade
content using QR codes as well.
Much like the QR codes distributed for the game's demo, ATLUS is
providing additional QR Codes for the retail version of the game
that will allow users to unlock more in-game gift items and
quests. These QR codes will appear in various ATLUS channels,
including FaceBook and Twitter pages, through the launch window
and beyond.
"Etrian Odyssey IV is gaming's best tribute to retro RPGs," said
Tim Pivnicny, Vice President of Sales & Marketing, ATLUS. "While
this game is the epitome of old-school RPG, we're excited to add
new elements to truly leverage the 3DS including 3D dungeons,
StreetPass functionality, and ability to read QR codes for
special quests and items."
