Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold DLC Release Schedule, EU Date, and How to Cook
Well crap, I want some karaage now.

Recently, we've had quite a bit of new info and media have come down the pipe for Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight, starting with a European release date of February 12th, 2016, thanks to publisher NIS America. The game releases much earlier in North America - August 4th, to be exact - hence all the new details.

Atlus USA also recently introduced Flavio, the Survivalist. As an archer he is able to put up debuffs on enemies, target multiple enemies at once, and use evasive skills that lowers the foe's hit rate or increases his own evade rate. One ability has a party member act as a shield for the whole party, but of course lowers the overall incoming damage on that person. Additionally, Flavio (and survivalists generally) can reveal treasure and lower encounter rates, so the class definitely has lots of utility.

Now for something completely different: In Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold, you'll get to help out Regina with some cooking in a rather high-end cafe. The catch is, she'll need quite a bit of help in both gathering the recipes created by the legendary Apicius (which are for some reason left in the Labyrinth), and deciphering what the ingredients even are. I can't say that owl cartilage karaage sounds very appetizing, but on the other hand.. it IS karaage. Once you've helped out Regina, however, you can order these dishes and they'll give your party certain buffs in battle.

Finally, Atlus USA most recently detailed the DLC release schedule, for approximately a month after the game's release. In some cases, the early birds will save themselves quite a few dollars on the content. Listed below is the schedule, and prices:
