For a niche dungeon crawler franchise Etrian Odyssey has been pretty kind to Atlus, and we've seen five main entries in over a decade, with several remakes and spinoffs to boot. Now Atlus has confirmed the sixth core game -- Etrian Odyssey X (pronounced "Cross").
It's coming to 3DS on August 2 of this year, and Atlus explains that it's not only a "crossover of the entire series" with 19 classes, but it's the "last brand-new title" for 3DS. What this basically means is that it'll combine several features from older games: a list that entails difficulty swapping, character creation, and subclasses.
With Etrian Odyssey X as the last 3DS entry and Yo-Kai Watch 4 confirmed for the Switch (after myriad multi-version releases on 3DS), it's the beginning of a new era.
