Although some details had already leaked, Nintendo showcased Shin Megami Tensei V at E3 2021. Considering the game is one of our most-anticipated games of 2021, we were more than thrilled, as at one point the game was rumored to be canceled. The game is coming to the Nintendo Switch on November 12. While many don’t realize this, Persona is actually a spinoff of Shin Megami Tensei. Shin Megami V looks beyond impressive, and even received a deep-dive during the Nintendo Treehouse Live event during E3 2021.
Shin Megami Tensei V: In the latest entry of the acclaimed Shin Megami Tensei RPG series, play as a high school student who must harness newfound powers to fight through a demon-infested wasteland using a command-based system, where finding your enemy’s weak points is key to executing powerful combos. Though demons are formidable opponents, some can be worthy allies and recruited via negotiations to fight alongside you in a dying world. How will your destiny unfold? Find out when Shin Megami Tensei V launches exclusively for Nintendo Switch on Nov. 12. Physical pre-orders start June 21.
Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne was released on the Nintendo Switch on May 25, and is the perfect precursor to the fifth installment in the franchise proper. Shin Megami Tensei III for the Nintendo 3DS was excellent, and we expect nothing else, if not more, from Shin Megami Tensei V.
