TheShin Megami Tensei series has remained dormant for a bit, taking a backseat toPersona, but that’s going to change next year.
Revealed on the Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase, Atlus had a few announcements for fans this morning. For one,Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne, arguably the bestSMTgame to date, is getting an HD remaster set to debut on Switch in spring of 2021. Yes, this is the game that infamously spawned the “Featuring Dante from theDevil May Cryseries” meme.According to the official Atlus site, the remaster is coming to PS4, too.
In otherSMTnews, we’ve finally got another glimpse atShin Megami Tensei V, the first game in the “main” series sinceTensei IVin 2013. Through a brief trailer we learn that it’s tentatively set for 2021, and will have asimultaneous worldwide release.
That last bit is pretty huge news, as Atlus games, eventhe most recent refresh ofPersona 5(Royal), had a five-month delay between the Japanese edition and the western localization. Barring leaks everyone will be on the same page when it’s out, without having to worry about tip-toeing around Atlus communities.
