The final trailer for Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance can be seen below.

The trailer shows a segment from the game where players will be required to make a crucial choice, which involves either taking or not taking a girl’s hand. Vengeance lets players experience the original story of Shin Megami Tensei V in the Canon of Creation route or choose a second route, Canon of Vengeance, with significant story changes in the latter part of the game. Each route is about 80 hours long and has different endings. The Canon of Vengeance path introduces new characters, including the heroine Yoko Hiromine and a demon group Qadištu led by Lilith.

The enhanced version offers new locations, Quality of Life improvements, gameplay mechanics, and over 40 additional demons, some created specifically for Vengeance by artist Masayuki Doi. All downloadable content from the original release is included, and Vengeance will also have its own DLC quests, featuring Dagda from Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse and a new demon, Konohana Sakuya.

It’s worth noting that Vengeance does not support an upgrade path or save file transfer from the original Shin Megami Tensei V. That said, players can transfer three demons from the original’s compendium to the Nintendo Switch version of Vengeance. The original release and its DLC are set to be removed from the Nintendo eShop a day prior to Vengeance’s release.

Atlus will soon release a developer Q&A video featuring the game’s composer, Ryota Kozuka, at 10:30 PM BST to answer some previously submitted questions from the game’s fan base. Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance is set for release on June 14, 2024, for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
