A live talk show event for the 10th anniversary of the Etrian Odyssey series took place in Japan yesterday and, as it ended, series director Shigeo Komori spoke of the next game in the franchise.
Komori announced that the next Etrian Odyssey game from Atlus Games is planned to be announced in Spring 2018. He also shared the following details:
- The game will be for the Nintendo 3DS.
- The game will not be Etrian Odyssey 3 [Untold]
- It will be a “true culmination” of the series.
- It will have a lot of map drawing. (“So much mapping, players will dislike it.”)
- It will have surprising content.
In a September 2017 interview, Komori had teased a new Etrian Odyssey game in development that would be “festival-like,” and that it would also be the last in the series to make use of the bottom screen on the Nintendo 3DS.
