Gematsu reports that Famitsu has officially revealed Etrian Odyssey 2: Knight of Fafnir – a remake of the second Etrian Odyssey game (Etrian Odyssey II: Heroes of Lagaard) as Etrian Odyssey Untold: Millennium Girl was a remake of the first. The second Etrian Odyssey game follows an adventurer’s guild as they traverse the Yggdrasil Maze, a forested labyrinth rising upward, to reach a mysterious castle In The Sky and obtain the “Grail of Kings.” The official website for the game is already up and you can check it out here. There isn’t really anything going on there, but you can check out the earlier mysterious teaser websites used to hint at this game if you click the scrolling arrows on the sides. The actual Famitsu announcement hosts character art and the game’s first screenshot (which teases the protagonist’s ability to transform?) so be sure to check it out!
Atlus is planning to release this game in Japan at the end of this year, which is a noteworthy feat considering that they released the remake of the first game last year and have been working on multiple Persona titles. A list of voice actors have also been announced for the game; among other names, Hikaru Midorikawa will voice the main character. Readers may recognize him as Akihiko Sanada from Persona 3, but he has also contributed to other Sega titles such as Phantasy Star Zero, Shining Force Neo, and Skies of Arcadia (as Ramirez!) Animation studio Madhouse will reprise their role as anime sequence producers.
