Atlus announced an enhanced version of Shin Megami Tensei V one month ago, titled Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance. The original game only launched in late 2021, but I do quite like the sound of “enhanced.” This version of the game includes the original story in its entirety, as well as an entirely new story path. There new new areas, new demons, new music, more accessible gameplay, an improved battle system, new demon experiences, and greater field exploration. When it was announced, Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance was set to launch on June 21, but today Atlus has blessed us with the news that it will be released a week earlier than planned.
Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance promises to deliver an RPG that can be played by existing and new fans alike. The game begins with the choice between two paths. There is the original story, the Canon of Creation, or the new Canon of Vengeance. The Canon of Vengeance is a story of revenge that also introduces new characters, a new enigmatic cohort of demons called the Qadištu, a new dungeon, and a new map to explore. The original game’s battle system, demon merging, and field exploration have evolved and expanded for this new edition.
The story begins in Tokyo, where a grisly murder scene blocks our protagonist’s walk home. The unplanned detour leaves him buried and unconscious. Instead of finding himself back home when he awakens, he is in a wasteland ravaged by an apocalypse – this place is now called Da’at. Before demons can kill him, a saviour emerges and the pair unite to become a mighty being. They are neither human nor demon: they are a Nahobino.
The Canon of Vengeance begins the same as the Canon of Creation, but the storyline drastically changes in the latter half of the game. The outcome will be completely different. Which means you have to play both, right? In the Canon of Vengeance, demons attack humans wanting to create a world of chaos. On the other side is Bethel, a group that wants to protect God’s order. During the conflict between the two sides, our protagonist meets and begins traveling with Yoko Hiromine. The stand together at the frontlines, using magic. But four female Demons stand in their way. What is their purpose?
Here is the original announcement trailer for the game:
