Sales for both titles crossed 1.6 million around the same time, so about 400,000 additional copies have been sold since then. Shin Megami Tensei 5 launched for the Nintendo Switch in November 2021, selling over one million copies worldwide in its first few months. Vengeance launched in June 2024 for Switch, Xbox One, PS4, PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S.

Alongside the base game’s story, it features the new Vengeance route, with over 75 hours of additional gameplay. Atlus also added new demons to collect, a brand new character in Yoko, new difficulty levels, and much more. There are even 20 new battle themes, with the overall soundtrack increased by 80 percent.

Launching first for Nintendo Switch in November 2021, Shin Megami Tensei 5 sold over one million units as of April 2022. As its enhanced edition, Vengeance offers multiple quality-of-life changes, new features and a brand new story route to pursue. The latter is known as Canon of Vengeance and adds new antagonistic demons alongside a new playable character in Yoko Hiromine.

The new story route offers an additional 75 hours of gameplay. Fans can also look forward to new Demons to collect, a new Nahobino form, 20 new battle themes (with 80 percent of the soundtrack reworked), and even hangout spots to interact with your party.

Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance is available for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, PC and Nintendo Switch.

In addition to bring the game’s first multiplatform release, Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance also introduces a host of new content that wasn’t present in the game’s original version. That includes new dungeons and demons, a photo mode, changes to Da’at and a new form for Nahobino, redone and new music, and an entirely new story route with over 75 hours of gameplay on offer.

Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance launches on June 14 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Check out details on its digital deluxe edition through here.

The trailer teases that the barrier surrounding Tokyo has broken, with Demons invading and the end of the world seemingly nigh. Various characters, including newcomer Yoko Hiromine, are featured alongside the new antagonists. The new Nahobino form and some of its moves also appear, and even the Demi-fiend from Shin Megami Tensei 3: Nocturne displays his power.

It’s a lot to take in, further echoing producer Shinjiro Takata’s statement that the new story route offers an additional 75 hours of gameplay. Launching on June 14th, Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance will be available for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS4, PS5, PC and Nintendo Switch (with the current version getting delisted from the eShop on June 13th). Stay tuned for updates in the meantime.

While it didn’t explicitly outline a reason for the delisting, it could be to prevent confusion among new players about which version to buy, since Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance includes most of the same DLC. There is a lot more to experience, however, including the Canon of Vengeance story path, which introduces new antagonists, an enigmatic new playable character (Yoko Hiromine) and more for about 75 additional hours of gameplay.

Players can also look forward to 20 new battle tracks with roughly 80 percent of the original soundtrack redone, new Demons to collect (and hang out with), a new Nahobino form and new ways to explore Da’at. Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance launches on June 14th for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, PC and Nintendo Switch.

The trailer also highlights changes made to Da’at, the alternate post-apocalyptic Tokyo that the Nahobino traverses. It’s part of the new story route, Canon of Vengeance, which sees players embarking on a similar journey to the original before deviating heavily in the middle. Producer Shinjiro Takata promised over 75 hours of additional gameplay in this route.

Even the soundtrack has seen a heavy revamp, with over 80 percent redone and 20 fresh battle themes added. Then there’s Yoko Hiromine, a character conceptualized during the original game’s development who serves as a playable party member. She seemingly has a dark past, which the new antagonists seek to leverage.

Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance is available on June 14th for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS4, PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch. It will receive a playable demo at Atlus Fes on June 8th and 9th in Tokyo.

In fact, as confirmed by composer Ryota Kozuka in a recent interview with GameSpot, about 80% of the original Shin Megami Tensei 5’s entire soundtrack has been redone for its upcoming expanded re-release, while about 20 new battle themes have also been added.

“For Vengeance, we actually re-did about 80% of the songs that were in SMT 5,” Kozuka said. “We naturally ended up with that number of songs after creating songs that we thought were necessary for this work. We also created about 20 new battle themes.”

Atlus recently announced Atlus Fes, an in-person event scheduled to take place in Tokyo on June 8 and June 9, where the company will showcase playable demos for Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance and Metaphor: ReFantazio, which is also due out later this year.

Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance launches on June 14 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

Voiced by Erin Yvette in English and Chiwa Saitou in Japanese, Yoko is a senior at St. Marina Academy. There’s an air of mystery about her, but upon meeting the Nahobino in Da’at, the two work together to fight against the demons. While she’s new to Vengeance, Yoko was actually conceptualized during the original game’s production but didn’t work out.

Director Shiego Komori revealed this to GameSpot, adding, “The reason for adding other characters on the journey to join the fight was to deepen our focus on the interactions between the humans. The goal is to further the feeling of presence by cooperating with members on the journey and to allow an easier understanding of their actions. She was conceived as a kind of heroine of chaos to be paired against Tao, and in this work, the setting from that time has been incorporated into the story as much as possible.”

Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance launches on June 14th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, Xbox One, PS4, PC and Nintendo Switch. The new Canon of Vengeance route promises 75 more hours of gameplay alongside new features and enemies. A hands-on demo will be playable during Atlus Fes on June 8th and 9th.

However, more than just an enhanced version with improved visuals on other platforms, it also features new content. There are new demons to collect, a new form for the Nahobino and new antagonists. Players can also opt for a new story route, Canon of Vengeance, for which producer Shinjiro Takata promises 75 additional hours of gameplay.

Speaking to GameSpot, he said, “This time, we went in with the goal of taking a new direction for Vengeance, compared to just making a high-spec version of previous titles. We focused on making this the best Shin Megami Tensei 5 by carefully improving the system based on much of player feedback while focusing on adding new elements.”

Takata also reiterated that the story of Vengeance gradually “begins to change from the original route and will unfold completely differently starting from the middle of the story.” Of course, you can still choose the base game’s route from the outset.

Director Shiego Komori noted that it’s “a tale of revenge based on Atlus’ own interpretation of the relationship between the Bull God and the Snake God that exists in various parts of the world…We believe that we were able to express a different kind of order and chaos in the relationship.”

Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance launches on June 14th worldwide. Those who attend Atlus Fes on June 8th and 9th can go hands-on with a demo (with Metaphor: ReFantazio also playable). Check out the most recent trailer here.

Though there won’t be any announcements of new titles, fans can expect merchandise, stage events and exhibitions. There will be more details announced later, so stay tuned. Metaphor: ReFantazio launches on October 11th for PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC – head here to check out the Collector’s Edition.

Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance arrives on June 14th, pushed forward by one week to potentially avoid conflicting with Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree. It’s an enhanced edition of the 2021 Nintendo Switch title arriving for the same platform but also on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One and PC. Players will encounter new demons and dungeons and embark on a new route called the Canon of Vengeance.
