The Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection is a collection of HD remasters of Etrian Odyssey, Etrian Odyssey II: Heroes of Lagaard, and Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City for the Nintendo Switch and PC, as the franchise's first foray to a single screen.

Features include the vastly improved mapping systems of the 3DS entries being ported to the first three games, and the skill tree display now shows everything in a flow chart. You can now preview upcoming levels of a skill you want to invest in, and you can spend multiple skill points in one go, especially if investing in a skill and all its prerequisites. Several old bugged skills have also been fixed, though the remasters will retain some of the oddities in the original that can be used for the player's benefit.

New Features

• Revised mapping tools, including a vastly increased map icon limit, autowalk functions, chest icons that indicate if the chest is opened, or shortcut icons that light up when unlocked.
• Map screen is now situated to the side of the screen and can be edited by keyboard/mouse/controller/touch screen. A zoomed out display takes the corner of the screen in battle.
• Difficulty levels: Picnic, Basic, Expert. This can be changed any time you're in town.
  • Expert is equivalent to the original difficulty of the DS versions.
  • Picnic greatly skews the numbers in the player's favor; you also have a 50% increased EXP, including quest EXP. Ariadne Threads are also not consumed from your inventory on use.
• Up to 9 save slots.
• You can now quicksave within the labyrinth. There is only one quicksave slot, and the quicksave is lost when you load a regular save file.
• New Game Plus function added to the first two games.
• The ability to swap a single character between rows mid-battle has been added to the first two games.
• Updated skill tree display. You can now invest multiple unspent skill points at once, and preview changes in future skill levels before deciding to invest.
• Battle speed and travel speed can now be adjusted.
• Monster Codex can be reviewed mid-battle, and now displays vulnerabilities to ailments and binds.
• Monster drops required for quests are now marked to remind you to avoid selling or discarding them.
• Some enemy and character names have been changed to reflect that of their appearances in later entries of the series (ex: Iwaopeln is now Iwaoropenelep, Artelind is now Artelinde)
• A fifth portrait has been added for each class in these games. Character portraits are no longer class-restricted; you can, for instance, use a Protector's portrait for your Landsknecht. You can also freely change your character's appearance at the explorer's guild.
  • DLC for each game adds two separate portraits based on characters from other ATLUS games, such as Joker from Persona 5, the Demi-Fiend from Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne, and the Nahobino from Shin Megami Tensei V.
• This is the first time to feature any languages other than Japanese and English since Etrian Odyssey European version in 2008. Besides that, there were Korean versions of Untold and 2 Untold in 2014 and 2015, respectively.
