posted on by Karen Ressler
Atlus USA announced on Wednesday that it will bring Atlus and Spike Chunsoft's upcoming Nintendo 3DS game Etrian Mystery Dungeon (Sekaiju to Fushigi no Dungeon) to North America next spring. The company plans to release both physical and digital editions for US$39.99.
The crossover between Etrian Odyssey and Mystery Dungeon is set for release in Japan on March 5.
Like the Mystery Dungeon game series, Etrian Mystery Dungeon will feature a new random map each time a player enters a dungeon. Players explore with a party of up to four chosen from ten different Etrian Odyssey class types. Exploration will be in the third-person perspective, unlike the Etrian Odyssey first-person, and players must control their party group.
Atlus' Shigeo Komori and Yukari Yokoro (art director, Etrian Odyssey IV) will serve as producer and director, respectively. Spike Chunsoft's Seiichirō Nagahata and Kaoru Hasegawa will serve as project director and character designer, respectively. Other staff members are returning from previous Etrian Odyssey games: Yūzō Koshiro will compose the music, Yūji Himukai will draft class designs, Shin Nagasawa will provide monster designs, and Nizō Yamamoto will act as art supervisor.
