Atlus’ epic RPG adventure is back for blood, as Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance takes players back to the netherworld but with plenty of changes along the way.

In what was already a stacked year for developer Atlus, with Persona 3 Reload recently released, and Unicorn Overlord and Metaphor ReFantazio both on the way, the RPG factory is gearing up for another release, and this one is hellish.

Atlus confirmed during the recent Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase that Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance is hitting Nintendo Switch later this year, with several quality-of-life changes, and new content, plus this time it’s even hitting more than one platform.

As revealed by Atlus, Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance features a brand new story chapter, and players can choose at the start of the game whether to experience the original story again (though with the enhancements of this new version) or to play this new chapter.

Alongside this, Atlus has confirmed that Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance will also receive two new DLC chapters, with one featuring the demon Dagda from Shin Megami Tensei 4, while the other is focused on a new demon called Konohanasakuya.

While other details are currently not clear, the reveal trailer gives players a look at new locations, new demons, and a new protagonist, who is presumably the player’s avatar for the new story chapter.
