It's more than a simple remake

Atlus has confirmed Etrian Odyssey Untold: Millennium Girl will be released in North America.

For those unaware, it's a reworked adaptation of the original Etrian Odyssey title and will feature two modes. The first is a story mode, which tells the tale of the original game with new characters thrown in. There are five pre-made characters, each with their own personalities and dialogue

There are new dungeon layouts, floors and enemies to play through with the aim of finding out the truth behind the Yggdrasil Tree and the mysterious girl, Frederica.

Classic Mode will give you the opportunity to create your own characters as was possible in previous games. First-person dungeon exploring and turn-based combat naturally make a comeback, while there are now new difficulty modes that can be changed at any time. Picnic and Standard mode have been devised for players new to the RPG genre or the Etrian Odyssey series as a whole. However, for those who enjoy a challenge there's Expert mode which will be sure to push your talents to their limits.

Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl releases this Summer exclusively for the 3DS in both retail and downloadable form. It's out on 27th June in Japan.
