For the uninitiated, Shin Megami Tensei V is a JRPG that was once exclusive to the Nintendo Switch. It tells a dark story where an ordinary high-school student is pulled against his will into an apocalyptic wasteland ruled by demons, angels, and gods. To survive, the boy makes a pact with a mysterious god to become a powerful being known as ‘Nahobino’ and fight through this unholy world to return home.

This new ‘Vengeance’ edition of Shin Megami Tensei V will include all the content from the original game, enhance the visual and framerate presentation, and introduce tons of new gameplay content. The content will include a new storyline, new characters to meet, new locations to explore, new demons to battle and recruit to your party, and much more.
