The wait is almost over!  The release date for Etrian Oddyssey 2 Untold: The Fanfir Knight will be August 4th, 2015.

In the meantime, a new trailer for the game has just been released. This trailer introduces Sovereign Arianna. She’s a pretty awesome princess (the kind who doesn’t need saving). She’s one of the 5 party members that you’ll have in Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold. Arianna is the princess of Caledonia and is on a mission to complete a ritual to save her Kingdom.

From the trailer her abilities look pretty impressive. She looks like she’ll be a strong party member, who can add to the battles rather than a weak NPC that you have to keep in your party and protect just because the story makes you take them along.

Check out Arriana’s trailer below and let us know what you think about this new character!

I’m sitting here squealing in glee at this news.

This year E3 is trying something new: letting in non-press. Not everyone, sadly, but about 4,000-5,000 non industry individuals will receive invites.

The passes will be distributed to companies that are exhibiting at this years E3. The number of passes each company receives is determined by the companies’ E3 booth size (and monetary contribution). It is up to the individual company on how they want to distribute the passes.

How do you feel about the ESA’s decision to let in the public to E3 2015? Let us know in the comments.

The planet Gamindustri has found peace due to the combined efforts of the CPU’s and the CPU candidates. The CPU candidates find themselves a little bored in this time of peace.  However, what to warriors do when there aren’t any bad guys to battle? The answer comes in an interesting proposition in their time of peaceful boredom.

Hyperdimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed is the first 3D action hack ‘n’ slash in the game series. Your favorite Neptunia characters will have to battle it out to determine who is the best, and strongest.

Hack ‘n’ slash your way through waves of enemies in real time. The free roaming battle stages allow you to create chain combos on the ground and in the air. You can play as your favorite characters as well as new playable characters, with new customizable equipment.

Hyperdimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed features a dual system that allows you to switch between two characters. Allowing players to combine different characters and learn their strengths and weaknesses for the ultimate battle duo!

One of the new features is a “Costume Break”. Your character’s outfits tear and rip from the heat of battle. Costume damage lowers your defense but increases your crit rate and EXE Drive Gage.

Get ready to experience the new installment in the Hyperdimesion series and prepare for battle! Hyperdimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed will be released on May 19th, in North America, and May 22nd in Europe. It will be available exclusively on the Playstation Vita and will be compatible with PlayStation TV.

Josh had an opportunity to take a look at the game earlier this week! You can check out his full review here.
