The Etrian Odyssey series by Atlus has made its home on Nintendo's portable hardware, across DS and 3DS. Despite being revealed some time ago, Etrian Odyssey V has nevertheless had no platform confirmed, meaning we can only be confident - based on logic alone - of a 3DS release for the next entry; not absolutely sure.
While full confirmation is yet to come, an Atlus survey reportedly lists the game as a 3DS title (thanks for the translation, Gematsu) which provide a little more reassurance.
Though the title is reportedly nearing completion in terms of development, Atlus has opted to keep its cards close to the chest until later in the year. Hopefully the big reveal will meet expectations when it eventually comes.

Perhaps Etrian Odyssey V will be both for 3DS and NX, hence why Atlus has been keeping the platform secret all this time.
I can't wait for EOV!! EOIV is my favorite 3DS game hands down.
Day 1!
It'll be $50....
@SMEXIZELDAMAN Its EO...does that really matter?!?!?!?!?
I, for one, am hyped.
This and a potential Pokemon Z are the only retail releases I'm looking forward to this year (if either even come out in 2016).
But if EOV ends up being more like Untold, I probably won't get it. It's good that they offer the story option in the remakes for those who want it, but for me the point of Etrian is more the story you make with your created characters and the little tidbits of info the game gives you.
How about a release date Atlus? I'll give you the $50 you ask for the game. You deserve it more than any other developer out there.
And while you're at it, how about release dates for SMT4 Final and Persona 5 and Genei ibun Roku? Pretty please??
About time, now we just need to know when Japan is getting this so we can.
@MERG I would pay 60$ for this!
@Spoony_Tech You know that I would too! I want it now.
There was never any doubt. The EO series is married to portable hardware.
I tried the EO demo for one of the 3ds games and I didn't really like it.
It's a bid weird because I love the pokemon mystery dungeons series which is sort of similar to this but not really.
@Mineral Try Etrian Mystery Dungeon. Should be more up your alley.
@Ralizah I wanted to buy that when it came out but I was short on cash for it and the reviews turned me off.
Glad to know it's still on 3DS. As always it's day one for me....as soon as it's released here that is. I hope Atlus will announce it soon.
The Etrian Odyssey series is my favorite series currently going. I'm nervous about it being a 3DS release only because I worry about the end of 3DS support and maybe they wouldn't localize it. I hope not!
This has somehow gradually become my favorite 3DS series, so great news. I'm curious whether they'd implement a story mode, Untold style, from the get-go, since I think it adds a lot to the game IMO.
These Etrian Odyssey games have the best soundtracks! I bout EOIU(heh, vowels!), but haven't had time to play it. Been switching between Persona Q, Pokemon OmegaRuby, Skyrim(yeah, I know, I'm late to the party), and Undertale(OMG, FANTASTIC!!).
I can't wait. EO has become one of my very favorite series. Soooo looking forward to this one.

@boatie they'll localize it. The West has already proven that EO has a huge following here.
@NImH Hey, I'm not huge I'm just festively pump
@Mineral As an Etrian and Mystery Dungeon fan, Etrian Mystery Dungeon is probably one of my favorite 3DS games. The fandom was right to say that it skews a little to the easy side (not as easy as PMD though, imo) and the AI really isn't smart but there's just so much content that if you like Mystery Dungeon games with some light Etrian elements, then you'll get your money's worth.
(fwiw, I put about 100 hours into beating the post-game, all the quests, and some completion/maxing stuff and am still not bored of it; but, again, Etrian and Mystery Dungeon fan. I'm super biased).
Hyped.
I still have The Millenium Girl just waiting to be played on my 3DS so once I tackle that and IV I will probably think about picking this one up. Gotta get caught up first though!
EOV, Persona 5, and SMTIV Final are going to exceptions to my refusal to pay the Atlus tax. Not proud of it, but I know my limits.
3DS, please be for the 3DS...
and Untold III?
I've always wanted to get into these games, and I know there are quite a few available for the DS/3DS...any suggestions on where to start? Are the most recent games generally better?
Thank god for Atlus. Without them, the 3DS would be a portable N64 in terms of third-party support.
I really do not see EO working on anything but a 3DS (or Wii U), because the map-drawing feature is one of the big mechanics of the series.
I'd also like to see them do a couple more things to support the New 3DS: an adaptation of Persona 3 Portable for it would be nice, or at the least a Persona Q-esque game with the Persona 5 cast.
That makes a lot of sense going by the previous games. Once it eventually reaches Europe, I'll buy the standard edition since I doubt Atlus will release any nice collectors editions here
@redivgamer90 Thanks! Maybe I can fit it in after I finish FE Fates and before Bravely Second comes out in America
I'm excited to finally get some details about this game since it feels like it's been such a long time since the initial teaser. It's fine if it's on 3ds for me, but I'm hoping they have enough changes to make this game feel like a progression from EO 4 and the Untold games.
I really am hoping for Untold III as well; it would bother me in an obsessive way if that's the on that doesn't come to the system.
Sigh...we have the game pad Atlus...you can put these on console now.
The Untold games are great, but EO4 was is my favorite hands down, which my only compliant really being a shallow amount of content compared to the other titles. Hopefully that gets fixed in 5.
I only recently got into the EO series through EOIV. This will be a day 1 purchase for me.
Looks like I don't have to be worried.
They seem to be taking more of III/IV and mixing it with the traditional Yggdrasil set-up for I/II.
So, I want it.
I put nearly 200 hours into EOU Millennium Girl and I have EO IV waiting on the shelf. These are the kind of games the 3DS was invented for.
@JasmineDragon You are in for a treat! Etrian Odyssey 4 is my favorite of the 3ds Etrians.
EO4 was my favorite so far. The remakes are excellent. I can't wait for 5.
@JasmineDragon Why oh why is it sitting on a shelf? Play the game now! Top 5 3ds game easily! You will love the overworld exploration.
These games are amazing. I'm also hoping for an Untold III, if only for a redone soundtrack of the third game <3
//Minor Spoilers for Etrian Odyssey 1 and 2\
I'm curious if this will be set in the same world as Etrian 1, 2, and 3 with this Yggdrasil being apart of the Yggdrasil Project... or if they'll reboot the world again like 4. Etrian games aren't big on story, but I do find the style of lore interesting.
@MrPuzzlez I'm late to the party with Skyrim too, got it recently but haven't played it yet because I know I won't want to stop and it's a looooong game. It's between that and XCX for me, not sure which to start first.
Have never got into the Etrian Odyssey series yet although keep getting tempted.
