Following the developer statement that the game was in its final stages of development and that it would be released for the Nintendo 3DS via an Atlus survey, Etrian Odyssey V: The End of the Long Myth has been officially announced for a 3DS release on August 4, 2016 in Japan for 6,480 yen.
This week’s issue of Weekly Famitsu magazine #1422 (releasing on March 3, 2016) will contain a 10-page feature for the game, containing a summary of information of the game as well as developer interviews. Additionally, the cover and back cover of the magazine will be illustrated by character designer Yuji Himukai, with this being the first scoop of the game since it was announced in Fall 2014.
Etrian Odyssey V is set in an unknown land by the name of “Arcadia” where four races exist: the “Arslan,” “Lunaria,” “Serian,” and “Brany.”
