Following the announcement of Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance in February, Atlus has now released a second official trailer for the game.
In case you missed it, this will be the "definitive version" of Shin Megami Tensei V - featuring a brand new storyline, new locations, new demons to add to your team, and new choices to make along the way. Here's some additional PR:
"Forge your path through a post-apocalyptic world in this definitive version of Shin Megami Tensei V. Two complete story paths await, including a brand-new storyline with new locations and demons, and where your choices will determine the fate of all existence. Navigate conflicting and tragic moral decisions and confront a dramatic tale of revenge or explore the original Shin Megami Tensei V saga. Which path will you choose?"
The game's release date has also been shifted from 21st June to 14th June 2024 (one week earlier). Anyone who has already pre-ordered a copy online doesn't have to worry, as the release date will be automatically adjusted for existing orders.
Will you be adding this one to your Switch library? What do you think of the latest trailer? Let us know in the comments.

I guess since I bought the initial release like an idiot, I'll get this one on PS5., on sale. Not making that mistake again.
The new bosses, music, mechanics, outfits... everything looks awesome!
Steam Deck ho!
Still don’t understand how this was a Switch exclusive for so long. It’s probably the worst performance I’ve ever seen on Switch.
Hopefully they’ll get it right this time.
@PinderSchloss same reason why P5 was exclusive for a long time. Money.
I would like them to release the added content as dlc to the eshop. Don’t like repurchasing the base game again.
Keeps on looking great, looking forward to my physical copy and eventually playing it!
That's not Nintendo Switch game footage....
It looks pretty good indeed. I was planning on getting the original version once I cleared up a bit the backlog, but I'll definitely get this instead.
On my steam deck! Won't buy for the switch.
@Arawn93 you say that but Atlas has a history of not porting games to other platforms without any substantial reason. It's the same with Vanillaware ,they make decisions like that out of insecurities it seems like.
@Glasso To be fair, I don't think anyone is claiming it's Switch footage
@MonkeyNinja506 Some comments here about it "looking great" etc - looking great on footage from more powerful platforms that should mean but being on a Nintendo site may well not mean that...
@PinderSchloss ”WORST” performance on Switch? Do you have some kind of black market hot-rodded Nontindeo Slitch?
Not counting muddiness, it runs great on my launch Switch.
That being said, might get this on PS5 this go round just to experience the full potential and “something different”
Although not a fan of this “let’s try again; here’s a better second version of the game at full price!” practice, this is one really good game. I’m biting 100% but it feels wrong. It should be a DLC for folks who bought, and supported, Atlas the first time.
It really irks me when I think about it.
This game’s soundtrack alone is worth it though. Its just such a memorable and brutally difficult game 😍
Getting this on PS4 on sale hopefully around Christmas time.
I loved SMT5, one of my favorite JRPGs in the last decade, yes the story was horrible but the mechanics and the challenge were great....
But this is a horrible practice from Atlus. Even the hated GameFreak stopped doing this and just released new content as DLC instead of a new "better and longer version of the same game". Just for principles there is no way I am paying for this.
@ChromaticDracula I had to quit because it gave me headaches
@PinderSchloss this was the worst performing Switch game you have seen??? You must not play much on it then. The performance on this game wasn’t even that bad. It’s blown way out of proportion. I mean it wasn’t great, but it was acceptable. I’ve seen and played far worse in regards to performance.
i feel like this is a ripoff cause they should of put the dlc seperate which hopefully they do cause its not fair for people who got the original version like myself to see them pull this crap.
@PinderSchloss ah crap… sorry to read that, that’s not fun at all.
Think you’ll give it a shot on a different platform?
So if this is published by Sega rather than Nintendo this time then it might actually see a deep sale in a bit. I love Atlys games, one of my favourite developers, but their release strategies border on dishonest and unethical (not illegal unethical, but.....). This should have a DLC option, it doesn't seem to have reworking like P5R
@ChromaticDracula Definitely! Probably my most anticipated game to play on PS5, cause what I played so far was really, really good.
@Glasso Since I'm the only one who mentioned it "looking great" let me specify that I was talking about story, gameplay etc., couldn't care less about the graphics personally although I'm happy that thanks to this version people will be able to get it on other systems where it will be better in that regard.
So this is basically the "Royal" of SMTV? Such a questionable (full-priced) practice of ATLUS/SEGA...
Will wait two years for it to hit the bargain bin. Last Atlus (as in Atlus made it) game I bought day 1 was SMT V. Slowly washing my hands.
eh i wasnt to impressed by the original. the story was lack luster IMO nothing like Persona 3, 4, or 5. cant wait for persona 6 =)
