The popular JRPG Shin Megami Tensei V is getting an update, two years since it made its debut.
ATLUS is set to release Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance. The Japanese video game developer made this announcement during the recent Nintendo Direct showcase.
An enhanced version of the original game, Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance is slated for launch on June 21, 2024. Publishers plan to roll it out on Switch, PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, and Xbox One.
Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance will feature gameplay improvements as well as new content. These included an improved battle system and a new story path. The upcoming game will introduce players to a 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 a map to explore," ATLUS said in a press release.
On top of the new story path, Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance will also contain more content. Players can expect new areas, new demon experiences, and greater field exploration, publishers said.
ATLUS has also released a teaser trailer on YouTube, showing what to expect in Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance. Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch will begin on Feb. 27, ATLUS said.
Shin Megami Tensei V first came out in 2021. It is the latest installment in the Shin Megami Tensei series and part of the larger Megami Tensei franchise.
Set in modern Tokyo, players become a high school student who stumbled into a different and apocalyptic version of Japan's capital. Like previous Shin Megami Tensei titles, it featured gameplays that allow players to raise and fuse demons.
Upon its release, Shin Megami Tensei V garnered positive reviews from gamers and critics. It received a PlayScore of 9.0 on the Switch, ranking 25th in a recent video ranking of the Top 50 Best Switch Games.
