The upcoming title is scheduled to come out on June 21 for the PC (Steam, Microsoft Store), PS4\/PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One. Based on comments made by Atlus director Shigeo Komori and character designer Masayuki Doi, the new release will add a lot of content that will keep demon lovers busy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance - Announce Trailer | NSW, PS4\/5, Xbox Series One, X|S, Steam, PC\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KDiRwSeXbZM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance is the complete version of the 2021 Nintendo Switch-exclusive RPG Shin Megami Tensei 5. The rerelease will bring gameplay system and QOL improvements while also introducing a brand-new storyline, including a new map and locations, as well as new characters. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new route, Canon of Vengeance, initially follows the original scenario, but introduces significant changes in the middle and latter sections of the story. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XR0uUuxsE74\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shin Megami Tensei V Vengeance Spotlight stream<\/a> by Atlus, the new route will add about 80 hours of gameplay, increasing total play time to an average of 160 hours.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240222-27643-002-1920x1080.jpg\" alt=\"Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance gameplay\" class=\"wp-image-27647\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240222-27643-002-1920x1080.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240222-27643-002-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240222-27643-002-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240222-27643-002-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240222-27643-002-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240222-27643-002-600x338.jpg 600w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The stream also mentions a focus on adding demons and giving them a greater presence by introducing \u201cthe playful element of interaction\u201d with ally demons. This sentiment is also expressed by Atlus director Shigeo Komori and character designer Masayuki Doi in a recent interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.famitsu.com\/news\/202402\/22335172.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Famitsu<\/a>. Doi mentions that the amount of praise they received for the quality of the 3D demons in the original release and users\u2019 requests for more demons were two factors that influenced Vengeance\u2019s conceptualization.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The interview also reveals that Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance will include over 270 demons, including brand-new designs by Doi. This includes 4 female demons named the Qadi\u0161tu, which seem to be central to the story\u2019s theme of \u201crevenge on the part of the oppressed.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Komori, Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance was created by expanding on various elements of the original story and setting which had previously remained unexplored. The creators promise a \u201cMegaten-like, dark and bitter\u201d story with appealing characters and demons.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240222-27643-001-1920x1080.jpg\" alt=\"Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance gameplay\" class=\"wp-image-27648\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240222-27643-001-1920x1080.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240222-27643-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240222-27643-001-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240222-27643-001-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240222-27643-001-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/20240222-27643-001-600x338.jpg 600w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/atlus.com\/smt5v\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance<\/a> is scheduled to release on June 21 for the PC (Steam, Microsoft Store), PS4\/PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance will include over 270 demons, 40 of which will be brand-new designs.
