Shin Megami Tensei V updates will come out in due time

Fans of the demon collecting franchise shouldn’t hold their breath as some sparse updates have been shared via a translated interview, courtesy of Gematsu. The producer of Shin Megami Tensei V, Kazuyuki Yamai, shared bits of information on the upcoming Switch exclusive:

  • The game is indeed still being worked on
  • The game is being made with content worthy of having a numbered title
  • More updates will be shared when the time is ripe
  • He and other producers at Atlus are continuously debating if they should do a port or a remake of Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne

While it’s not a whole lot of information it is interesting to see them contemplating on Nocturne as it was the only PlayStation exclusive game in the series. The other titles in the main series were all on Nintendo consoles, with the most recent entry Shin Megami Tensei 4 and it’s spin-off Apocalypse on the Nintendo 3DS. What do you look forward to the most in this new entry? Do you want to see Nocturne finally join it’s Nintendo brethren? Let us know!

Mo is an avid JRPG and horror fan whose interest in gaming began at 4 years old when his parents bought him his first console: the Sega Genesis. His love for horror games started from buying a mint condition Resident Evil 2 at a yard sale and was too spooked as a kid to play it until years later where he learned to love it. The love for JRPGs began around this time too as he found comfort in Final Fantasy 4 after his initial zombie scare. Today he still plays both franchises and on his spare time likes to visit art walks and museums, find hole in the wall restaurants, hikes, and do some freelance story writing (or at least attempt to).
