Better late than never

It's been a year of landmark releases from Atlus for fans of some of its most loved franchises. Just recently we've seen Shin Megami Tensei IV arrive, while earlier in the year another major release came in the form of Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan. While Atlus is often on the ball bringing these games to North America, Europe typically has to wait and hope that another publisher steps in to assist further localisation. This time around NIS America Europe is stepping into partnership with Atlus to bring Etrian Odyssey IV to the region.

After initially planning a Spring release and pushing it back to the Summer, the publisher has now confirmed that the title will arrive at physical retail and on the eShop on 30th August. It's also confirmed that a demo with two dungeons will be released this Summer before the full game arrives, which seems like an ideal way for newcomers to get familiar with the style of the first-person RPG series.

We were big fans of this one in our Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan review, awarding 9/10 and stating that "it's amazing how easy it is to lose yourself in it". Let us know if you're planning to pick it up below, while the launch trailer from the North America release gives a taste of what to expect.
