In the three-minute trailer, Atlus showed off Shin Megami Tensei V’s new fully open-world design. Paired off with an updated graphics engine, the SMT series has never looked better.

The short video also gave us our first look at the title’s protagonist. Fused with a demon, the character is able to utilize powers against his foes throughout the post-apocalyptic world.

Interestingly, it also looks to overhaul the combat system with a snappy UI and a brand new combo system that lets you chain attacks. The entry will, of course, retain the mechanic that lets you recruit demons to your team with speech.
