If you missed out on Shin Megami Tensei V because it was released for the Nintendo Switch, no need to worry. Atlus is revisiting the game with Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, which will launch on June 21 for the Nintendo Switch, as well as PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, and PC via Steam.
Featuring the story of Shin Megami Tensei V in its entirety, Vengeance sports a new story path, as well as new areas, demons, and music. Vengeance also features more accessible gameplay, with an improved battle system, new demon experiences, and greater field exploration.
When a grisly murder scene in modern-day Tokyo blocks the protagonist’s walk home, an unplanned detour leaves him buried and unconscious. He finds himself in a wasteland ravaged by apocalypse now called Da’at. Before bloodthirsty demons can claim his life, a savior emerges, and they unite to become a mighty being, neither human nor demon: a Nahobino.
At the start of the game, players will choose between two paths: the story told in Shin Megami Tensei V, the Canon of Creation, or the brand-new Canon of Vengeance. This dramatic new tale of revenge introduces brand-new characters, an enigmatic cohort of demons called the Qadištu, a new dungeon and map to explore. Additionally, the original Shin Megami Tensei V battle system, demon merging and field exploration have been evolved and expanded in this newest entry in the series.
Pre-orders for Vengeance will begin on February 27. In the meantime, you can head on over to the official site for more info. You can also check out our review of the original Shin Megami Tensei V.
