Sega Atlus gave us an early peek at Shin Megami Tensei V for the Nintendo Switch, via a new trailer that was released last night. I must have watched this trailer at least 20 times now, and I still can’t get over it. It’s bonkers, especially for someone like me who’s never played a Shin Megami Tensei game but does enjoy the Persona series.
I think I may have to pick up this game, it definitely looks like something I’d enjoy. But I’m sure all you SMT fans already are foaming at the mouth for Shin Megami Tensei V to be released. I know it’s been a long time coming, but it’s almost here gang. Just a little bit more.
Check out the trailer below.

Here’s the trailer summary:
When a grisly murder scene in modern-day Tokyo blocks our protagonist’s walk home, an unplanned detour leaves him buried and unconscious.
He awakens in a new Tokyo, a wasteland ravaged by apocalypse now called Da’at… but before bloodthirsty demons can claim his life, a savior emerges, and they unite to become a mighty being neither human nor demon: a Nahobino.
With newfound power, the protagonist ventures through Da’at, an enigmatic realm filled with mythical deities and demonic tyrants in constant conflict for survival. Searching for answers, the protagonist must forge his own path in a battle between light and dark to dictate the fate of the world.
