As some of you are aware, Etrian Odyssey Untold 2: The Fafnir Knight launches this summer for North American gamers. Promising a brand new story mode on top of the original campaign of Etrian Odyssey II: Heroes of Lagaard, Etrian fans have plenty to look forward to in this one. In an effort to start building hype for the game's release, Atlus has just released a trailer and some screens of the titular Fafnir Knight.
It appears that the Fafnir Knight will be a player named character, much like how players can name Link whatever they want in the Legend of Zelda games. The Fafnir Knight will be a bodyguard of sorts for Princess Arianna as they embark on a quest into Ginnungagap, a dangerous (and bizarrely spelled) maze full of monsters and loot. In a pinch, the Fafnir Knight will be able to transform into a powerful, demonic form that will give him quite an edge in battle. The new story mode will center around this mysterious power and how the Fafnir Knight came by it. Here's a video and some screens showing the protagonist in all his glory:
The press release also mentioned that an announcement will be coming soon regarding a European release, so watch this space.

Looking good but will still wait Xenoblade is in 2 days
Just for the record. The press release seems to confirm a European release of the game as well with official announcement coming soon
@KJ85 Thanks, man, I missed that when I read through it. It's easy to miss something you aren't looking for, eh?
Oh man, I've (almost) 100% completed Etrian Odyssey II on DS, but this series is so good, I don't think I can resist a remake. (I say "almost" - I've beaten the post-game boss, but there was a very rare FOE I never encountered.)
Another week, another new Etrian Odyssey game on 3DS! How many is this now?
I loved millennium girl untold. cant wait to play this in fall time. seems like a fall-y game....
I may know how the protag got his power, but who knows, the game may still throw me for a loop. I wonder if the revelations in the first Untold game get brought up in this one, or if it's stand-alone.
Man, that's some DDS level of stuff there Atlus........ DAY ONE BUY. STOP HURTING MY WALLET, I NEED MONEY FOR PERSONA 5 GOSH DARNIT!! Just kidding, my income is decent enough to allow for more Atlus games... Gah, they've got me.
Looks great, and I'm glad there was an announcement for an announcement for a European release. I'm still fairly new to this series, and have only completed IV and I've just got to the end of the main story in Untold, but I love these games.
Woot, woot, European release (almost) confirmed!
Going get this for sure. The mystery dungeon combo is too much mystery dungeon and the Persona Q game is still 50 bucks, nevermind all the DLC.
