Although those in PAL regions still have to wait several months until Nippon Ichi Software America’s release of the dungeon-crawling JRPG, North American publisher ATLUS USA have confirmed that Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight is now available for purchase on the Nintendo 3DS in their supported regions. This game serves as an enhanced port of 2008 DS dungeon-crawler Etrian Odyssey II: Heroes of Lagaard, featuring a number of gameplay improvements and a brand new (dubbed) story mode.
With Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight now available for purchase, ATLUS USA have begun their distribution of weekly DLC content for the game. With a few exceptions, most of this content is set to be available at a cost, starting at $0.99 USD. However, some paid content will be available at no charge provided you download it within a week of launch. Information on the launch batch of DLC can be found below:
