Etrian Odyssey V: Beyond the Myth is the fifth title in the Etrian Odyssey series. In this game, players will endeavor to reach the top of the Yggdrasil Tree which is rumored to grant the greatest wish of those brave and strong enough to reach its summit. Of course reaching the top of the tree includes more than just climbing to the top, players will have to make it through the dangerous Yggdrasil Labyrinth to achieve their goal. Beyond the Myth has a mapmaking feature, party building mechanics, FOE hunting and other engaging elements to make for a well-rounded RPG experience. It will be releasing in the Americas this fall.
