Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight arrives in North America this August

Atlus has revealed that Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight will hit North America on August 4, 2015 for the Nintendo 3DS. It'll arrive in retail stores and the Nintendo eShop. 

Here's a quick rundown of what Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight is all about.

The first-person dungeon crawler from the classic Etrian franchise is updated with an all-new standalone story, complete with voiced characters who must adventure through the mysterious forest labyrinth and the ruins of Ginnungagap, where they may uncover the secret origins of the Fafnir Knight and his power to transform and use demonic powers. 

 

The story mode is only half of the game, as Classic mode will allow players to play in the traditional Etrian fashion - by putting a party together from 13 unique classes and then clawing through dungeons to prove your mettle. Introduced in the first Untold game, both Classic and Story modes allow players to choose their own difficulty, from Picnic to Expert. 

 Plus, pre-order and first-print copies of the game come with a handful of bonuses. It includes:

• A copy of Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight for the Nintendo 3DS
• A Collectible Box
• The "Official Staff Book" containing pages of artwork, detailed descriptions, and background information
• The "Rough Sketch" soundtrack CD arranged and composed by the legendary Yuzo Koshiro
• QR codes that unlock some beginner-friendly Grimoire Stones

Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight will also be coming out next year on February 12 in Europe via NIS America.
