The eagerly anticipated release of Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance has fans buzzing with excitement as the release date has been moved up on the gaming calendar. Originally slated for a late June launch, the game will now hit the shelves on June 14, 2024, for multiple platforms including Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. Vengeance promises to deliver a fresh take on the Shin Megami Tensei V experience with a remixed and enhanced plot that will take players on a whole new journey through demon hunting and befriending.
Considered the “definitive version” of Shin Megami Tensei V, Vengeance offers both the original path (Canon of Creation) and the new remix (Canon of Vengeance) for players to explore. The new Canon of Vengeance scenario closely follows the original plot until the latter half of the game, where the story takes a dramatic turn, offering players a fresh and exciting experience. With new demon fusion systems, field exploration, and an upgraded battle system that allows for better exploitation of enemy weaknesses, Vengeance aims to provide a unique and engaging gameplay experience.
Official Plot Description
According to Atlus, the official plot description of the Canon of Vengeance involves demons attacking humans in a bid to create chaos, while the organization Bethel seeks to maintain order. Players will find themselves caught in the conflict between these two factions as they explore Da’at and team up with Yoko Hiromine to combat the forces of darkness. The story unfolds with the discovery of the Key of Resurrection, leading to a tale of revenge by the oppressed, with protagonist and Lilith at the center of the action.
The Qadištu, a group of four female demons, including Naamah, Eisheth Zenunim, Agrat bat Mahlat, and Lilith, play pivotal roles in the Vengeance storyline, each contributing to the protagonist’s journey in unique ways. With their own distinct abilities and motivations, these demons will challenge players and shape the path forward in unexpected ways. The narrative promises to be engaging and immersive, offering players a rich and compelling story to dive into.
