ATLUS West has launched the Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection, a set of HD remasters of the first three games in the Etrian Odyssey series, on Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam. This release modernizes the original DS / 3DS exclusive games, boasting improved graphics and new quality of life features – the latter being essential given how the original game’s made use of the Nintendo DS/3DS’ dual-screen setup. The collection includes Etrian Odyssey HD, Etrian Odyssey II HD, and Etrian Odyssey III HD.
Within the Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection, players have the opportunity to venture on endless quests within each game’s respective labyrinth, creating custom characters and parties to be able to best survive the dangers and hazards that lie within. The game encourages discovery, with players charting their courses using the re-engineered Etrian Odyssey mapping tool, which has been altered for both Nintendo Switch and PC platforms.

- Remastered graphics, remastered soundtrack and quality of life improvements including difficulty selection and save slots.
- Touch screen mapping functionality for Nintendo Switch. Plot your progress through the labyrinth, drawing walls and placing icons to note special events and items.
