Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City - Info and Screenshots

Atlus USA have officially announced today their plans to bring Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City, the third chapter in the acclaimed series of exploration RPGs, to the Nintendo DS in North America.

The embodiment of adventure and discovery in the purest sense, Etrian Odyssey III transports gamers to a sparkling oceanic paradise filled with atmospheric dungeons to chart and survey, vast watery expanses to sail across, and rumors of a sunken city to investigate. Aspiring explorers are responsible for charting their travels utilizing the intuitive touchscreen map editor, meaning that careless cartography could easily spell doom for a fatigued party trying to escape danger. Powerful challenges demand cunning and strategy: players will assemble and fully customize their party of adventurers from a variety of highly specialized classes and sub-classes. For the patient and prepared, fame and fortune await.

"The Etrian Odyssey series is renowned for successfully marrying deep roleplaying gameplay with a grand sense of adventure and the thrill of the unknown," stated Aram Jabbari, Manager of Public Relations and Sales at Atlus. "The Drowned City, the third chapter in the fan-favorite franchise, takes the established exploration RPG gameplay--a loving tribute to classic pen-and-paper and PC entries in the genre--to exciting new frontiers. The seas off the coast of the city of Armoroad offer an exciting, mysterious unknown, filled with hidden dangers and bountiful treasures. With an entirely new host of character classes to customize and train, the addition of naval travel and exploration, and the unprecented introduction of cooperative local multiplayer content, Etrian Odyssey III isn't content to simply continue the series; it seeks to redefine it."

With the ability to create your own team, with 10 new classes and sub classes aiming to fill a possible 30 team slots, a new streamlined map making system, the ability to take to the high seas and being able to play with up to 5 friends over local wireless connection, the game looks set to continue to series' acclaimed traditions while also bringing plenty of new content to the table.

Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City will launch exclusively on the Nintendo DS in North America this Fall.
