One of Atlus’s most prized franchises is Shin Megami Tensei. Since its 1992 debut on the Super Famicom, this Persona spinoff has become a juggernaut in the role-playing scene. Releasing back in 2016 for the Nintendo 3DS, the last mainline entry in the series was Apocolypse. JRPG fans can rejoice, as the wait is finally over. Releasing today exclusively on Nintendo Switch, the long-awaited Shin Megami Tensei V is finally here!
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. Before bloodthirsty demons can claim his life, a savior emerges, and they 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 light and dark. To dictate the fate of the world.
Key features include:
- Unfold an allusive story filled with tragic choices. Make sacrifices to uphold your ideals as you pursue light, or covet darkness to discover your role in the new world.
