Atlus has announced<\/a> that the shipments and digital sales for Shin Megami Tensei V<\/strong><\/em> have surpassed 1 million units worldwide. The base game and DLC packs will be discounted on the Nintendo eShop from April 25 to May 11 JST to commemorate the occasion.
[Update 2022\/04\/18 18:54 JST] Fixed the above sentence about the discount period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shin Megami Tensei V<\/em> launched around 5 months ago, in November of 2021, for the Nintendo Switch. The game follows the story of a high school student in modern-day Tokyo, who one day found himself transported to Da\u2019at, an alternate wasteland version of Tokyo ravaged by demons. He then unites with a god-like being called Aogami, becoming a mighty being that\u2019s neither human nor demon: Nahobino. The protagonist, now capable of using the power of Nahobino, partakes in the battle between angels and demons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game uses Unreal Engine 4, and from the ruins of Tokyo to the character models, is a step up visually compared to past titles in the series. The game system follows that of previous releases while making some refinements.

According to a Famitsu article<\/a> published on January 1, Shin Megami Tensei V<\/em> \u201csurpassed 800,000 units\u201d at that time, although it\u2019s not clear whether that number meant total sales or just shipments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shin Megami Tensei V<\/em> was the first title in the series to launch simultaneously worldwide, and it managed to rank ninth<\/a> in the UK physical charts during its launch week. In the US, the game ranked as the 16th<\/sup> best-selling game of November 2021 and \u201cachieved the highest launch month dollar sales of any Shin Megami Tensei title in history.\u201d
