ATLUS announces Etrian Odyssey IV Legends of the Titan
ENEMIES THAT LEAP OUT OF THE SCREEN AT YOU; BOSSES THAT WILL MAKE YOU TREMBLE IN YOUR ADVENTURERS' BOOTS; AND AN ALLURING WORLD YOU WILL LOSE YOURSELF IN...
IRVINE, CALIFORNIA --
OCTOBER 4, in the year of our Lord 2012 -- ATLUS, a
brand of Index Digital Media, Inc., today unveiled plans to
localize and publish Etrian Odyssey®IV: Legends of the Titan™,
the latest entry in the long-running RPG franchise designed as a
contemporary homage to the pen and paper roleplaying games of
old.
Marking the series' arrival on the Nintendo 3DS, Legends of the
Titan introduces a wide range of enhancements and additions,
including a greatly improved graphics engine with polygonal
enemies and special effects designed to take full advantage of
the platform's unique 3D capabilities. As with previous games in
the series, players explore beautiful yet menacing realms - each
varied in flora and fauna - mapping their journey along the way
using the touch screen and their stylus. No two games are ever
the same, thanks to a character creation and party customization
system that encourages experimentation and rewards creativity
and imagination. Moreover, while Legends of the Titan - built
with older hardcore gamers in mind -- is still a brutal
challenge and not for the faint of heart, a new Casual mode
option ensures newcomers to the series and genre need not be
intimidated.
"The Etrian Odyssey series is an enduring love letter to a
bygone era, a time when the thrill of adventure; the rewards of
imagination; and the satisfaction of true challenge could truly
transport gamers to another world," stated Aram Jabbari, Manager
of Public Relations and Sales at Index Digital Media, Inc.
"While Legends of the Titan continues to be a bridge to that
past, the series now enjoys its most technologically
sophisticated foray yet. Enemies are rendered in 3D and
practically pounce out of the Nintendo 3DS at the player. The
areas to be explored and mapped have never been as intricately
detailed and memorably vibrant. The wondrous music of Yuzo
Koshiro is back, fully orchestrated and as epic as ever. At the
risk of sounding oxymoronic, we're proud to bring our fans the
newest, most exciting old school CRPG throwback yet!"
Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan is scheduled to launch
in early 2013, exclusively for Nintendo 3DS. For more
