Atlus USA has issued a new press release today, detailing the DLC that will be released for their upcoming RPG, Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker. All the DLC will be in the form of a Free Battle, and two of them will be (permanently) free, while the remaining four will cost $0.99. The DLC will be released throughout the month of May, following the release of the game on May 5. You can read the official press release with all the details below:
NIS America recently announced that they will be distributing Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker, Etrian Mystery Dungeon, and Etrian Odyssey II: Untold in Europe. The first two titles will arrive in Europe during the Fall of 2015, while Etrian Odyssey II: Untold has an early 2016 release planned for it. The price of the games hasn’t been announced yet (NISA Europe’s pricing has been rather controversial, so it’ll remain to be seen if the games will be reasonably priced).
Both physical and digital releases are planned for all three titles, per Siliconera.
It’s always good to see Atlus gamers in Europe, and European gamers in general, being given more timely releases than they’ve had to deal with in the past. After it took much strain and waiting for Ghostlight to bring Devil Survivor 2 to Europe, Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker was something of a question mark considering that it was an expansion title and that Ghostlight isn’t a large publisher to begin with. Etrian Odyssey titles have been regularly coming to Europe after the original Etrian Odyssey II failed to come to European gamers, and interestingly NIS America also distributed Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl in Europe.
If you would like a rather personal (not crafted by myself, to specify) preview of the game with a variety of helpful opinions, consider reading this technologytell.com article.

Sega has announced more 3D Classics to be released for the 3DS, and on top of that, they’re already confirmed for a release in the West!

Bandai Namco US have just released the English trailer for Project X Zone 2: Brave New World, officially confirming the game’s existence (and localization!) and also announcing plenty of characters from Namco, Sega and Capcom franchises that will be featured in the game. The game is being developed by Monolith Software and is scheduled to be released on the Nintendo 3DS Fall 2015 in the Americas. Read on to find the list of the characters featured in the trailer (with many more yet to be announced), the trailer and images from both the trailer and the game itself.
It appears someone spilled the beans on an upcoming sequel for Project X Zone on 3DS ahead of the game’s official reveal. Italian website e-duesse posted an article detailing some of Bandai Namco’s upcoming games. The list included two new titles, Project X Zone 2: Brave New World and Saint Seiya: Soldiers’ Soul. The article has since been edited to remove the two titles, but not before the information was posted on NeoGAF. The Saint Seiya game has already been officially confirmed, and it’s probably only a matter of time until the same is done for Project X Zone 2.

Atlus has released a new trailer for Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight. This time, the trailer focuses on the protagonist of the game, the soldier tasked with the duty of protecting Princess Arianna.

Etrian Mystery Dungeon, the roguelike cross-over between the Etrian Odyssey and the Mystery Dungeon franchises, is now available in the US. Overall, the game has been receiving favorable reviews, often praising the game for successfully combining the formula of the two different franchises, and also noting the game provides a challenge even to gamers familiar with the genre. In light of the release, Atlus USA has posted a new unboxing video for the game, which you can watch here:
Atlus USA has periodically been releasing trailers for Devil Survivor 2: Record Breaker leading up to the game’s May 5th launch in North America. Two days ago, Atlus posted a new trailer for the auction system. Continue reading to learn more about the Auction system and check out the short trailer.
On their blog, Atlus revealed the cover and tracklist (entirely in Japanese) for the upcoming Etrian Mystery Dungeon Soundtrack. The soundtrack will include all of the BGM and additional tracks from the game on 2 CDs, each CD containing 16 tracks. It’s worth noting that the composer of the soundtrack is Yuzo Koshiro, who (aside from his work on the Etrian Oddysey games) also worked on the soundtrack for games from several Sega franchises, including Shinobi, Street of Rage and Shenmue. You can find three BGM preview videos of the soundtrack below, they’re well worth a listen.
While all of the new media from the April 1st Nintendo Direct has caused quite a stir, it’s worth noting that the last round of promotional videos for Etrian Mystery Dungeon were put out a week and half ago by Atlus USA. They cover the Explorer’s Guild and Amber’s Restaurant, two useful focal points in the game.
The game comes out on April 7th in the US for the Nintendo 3DS. Check out the videos after the break!
