Earlier today Atlus released cover art and pre-order CD details for Etrian Mystery Dungeon. The publisher is now aiming to build pre-order hype for the recently announced Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker, too.
Due as a 3DS exclusive in early 2015, it's an enhanced version of the DS original, with 'Record Breaker' referring to a new episode that continues the plot and 'nearly doubles' the length of the game; players can opt to play from the start or jump straight into the new content. As with the earlier announcement Atlus has released updated box art, which is typically stylish.
Perhaps more importantly there'll also be a bonus soundtrack CD with pre-orders and first print editions of the title; it'll feature "a special arrangement from Shoji Meguro and the ATLUS Sound Team".
Is this another Atlus title you're keen on picking up in 2015, or is it a little too low on your wishlist right now? Let us know.

Is that a NA-only offer (as per usual with ATLUS), or will Europe get it, as well?
I want!
Any news on Europe? I need this and the soundtrack CD. Honestly Atlus, you're one of my favourite developers out there, but the way you keep treating me.... Don't know man, the love should come from both sides to keep us going
I have avoided playing the original in anticipation that they would release this re-make/upgrade. First day buy for me.
I hope this more utilizes 3d this go around. I love my added depth. Still with the price and my stance on it I won't be playing it for a long time coming.
Is the girl in the left the new character? Love the original one, and played it several times and several endings, glad they remake and upgrade it. Aw really want it!
This might break my resolve. This is some lovely cover art.
@Ralizah Flip flopper!
Yes please and thanks Atlus you have giving me my JRPG fix while Square Enix has forsakened me and so many others. Sure we got the Bravery games but No dragon Quest games and I don't mean some lame Theatrhythm game that I don't care for either. This will be a day one purchase. It's a shame I heard they are making DQ11 and if it is on PS4 I will be getting it. I'm getting off topic my bad.
In Atlus I trust!
Just crossing my fingers now, hoping this will actually get to Europe and not as a download only title in 2018.
Bonus CD? Nice. I haven't looked into the Devil Survivor games yet, but I've played other Megami Tensei games. I'd probably like this one too, although I'm not sure.
It's just too pricey... maybe when it goes on sale.
Day one for me because I'm an SMT/Persona/EVERYTHING ATLUS fanboy.
@River3636 off topic and loaded with run-ons.... Is Final Fantasy 15 not looking good enough to you?
Bring this to europe and take my money
The soundtrack makes the $50 price tag sound quite a bit better. I kinda want to wait for a sale on this but I might cave and pre-order this since I loved DS Overclocked.
Early 2015 in NA? I guess that pretty much confirms digital only release in late 2016 for EU
I sure hate how Atlus treats Europe, it makes NoA's Club Nintendo service look like the best thing ever!
@B3ND3R I'm not looking for an editor. SquareE is poop now and has been for quite some time. Please don't be testy with errors. It makes you look petty and I don't want to insult.
Looks interesting I might preorder this soon.
Hope they use the top screen more and fingers crossed even some 3D (who'd have thought!?)
I hear this game is incredibly similar to the first game which puts me off a little... I don't want to play the game if the only difference is the story.
@davidevoid There's significant changes in the demon line-up between the two games, new skills and more New Game Plus options (at least if you compare the DS versions; Devil Survivor Overclocked gained most of these from DS2), you have tons more companions, the relationships with them operate on a stripped-down version of the Social Link system from Persona which provides gameplay bonuses on top of unlocking endings as you make friends.
Vanilla DS2 also had more endings than vanilla DS (the branchiness of the prior game only happened in Devil Survivor Overclocked; and Record Breaker tops that with the almost-as-long-as-the-original extra story).
But yeah, I wish they'd do more with the top screen. Both of the Devil Survivor games felt like GBA games that got lazy DS ports to begin with.
Well... I have not played 2 yet and I did really enjoy Overclocked. I wanted to wait until it dropped even a little but bonus CD!
