SEGA and Atlus have released a new trailer for Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, the upcoming "enhanced version" of the original 2021 role-playing game. The latest trailer is action-packed, teasing new dungeons, demons, and more.
Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance is described as the "definitive version" of the critically acclaimed Shin Megami Tensei V, expanding upon the game with a brand-new storyline that features new locations, demons, and choices to make.
In addition to the original story told in the first game, "Canon of Creation," there is now an entirely new story path to experience, titled "Canon of Vengeance," a dramatic tale of revenge by the fallen.
"The Canon of Vengeance follows the scenario of SMTV but changes drastically from the latter half of the game. The outcome will be completely different," Atlus explains. "Enjoy the two divergent stories to your heart's content."
When a grisly murder scene in modern-day Tokyo blocks our protagonist’s walk home, an unplanned detour leaves him buried and unconscious. He awakens in a new Tokyo, a wasteland ravaged by apocalypse now called Da’at… but before bloodthirsty demons can claim his life, a savior emerges, and the two of them unite to become a mighty being, neither human nor demon: a Nahobino.
With newfound power, the protagonist ventures through Da'at, an enigmatic realm filled with mythical deities and demonic tyrants in constant conflict for survival. Searching for answers, the protagonist must forge his own path in a battle between angels and demons to dictate the fate of the world.
In addition to the new story, the visuals of Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance have been upgraded and tailored to modern consoles. It also features more accessible gameplay, an improved battle system, new demon experiences, and greater field exploring.
Last month, Atlus and Sega announced that the release date for Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance has been moved up. It will now debut on June 14, 2024, a week earlier than originally planned. The game is set to launch on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows, and Steam.
