Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance Set to Release on June 21, Pre-Order Bonus Detailed

/

Sega and Atlus announced that they’ll be releasing a new version of Shin Megami Tensei V for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, and Switch. It’s called Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance and it will be out on June 21, 2024.

This definite edition of the 2021 title offers two different story paths — Canon of Creationsd, which follows the original story, and Canon of Vengeance, which is said to diverge from the original story midway through the playthrough, resulting in a different ending. According to Atlus, this new path tells “a dramatic tale of revenge by the fallen”.

Each path is said to offer 80 hours of content as Shin Megami Tensei: Vengeance features improvements in the game’s battle system, the Demon Fusion mechanic, and field exploration.

Pre-order Bonuses, Switch Bonus, and the Digital Deluxe Edition

Those who opt to pre-order the game will receive the “2 Sacred Treasures Set”, offering two reusable items that will help players in combat. The first one is the Haraedo Bead, which slightly recovers HP for all allies, while the other is the Gleam Grenade, which will damage all foes. Pre-orders for physical and digital copies are now available.

If you played the original game on the Switch and still have your save file on your Nintendo account, players can register up to three demons to their Deon Compendium in Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance.

Digital Deluxe Edition

The digital deluxe edition for Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance will contain not only a digital copy of the game in your chosen platform but all of these bonus content:

  • Sakura Cinders of the East: A DLC quest featuring Konohana Sakuya.

  • Holy Will and Profane Dissent: A DLC quest featuring Dagda.

  • Mitama Dance of Wealth: A DLC add-on that makes it easier to farm Macca.

  • Mitama Dance of EXP: A DLC add-on that makes it easier to gain EXP.

  • Mitama Dance of Miracles: A DLC add-on that makes it easier to learn Miracles.

Stellar Blade Review - A Challenging Adventure That Doesn’t Stick the Landing

Stellar Blade’s potential was clear, but as its ambitions expanded into something greater, it lost focus. As soon as Stellar Blade tries to bring everything together, it merges into a single figure that looks deformed and uneven. The quality is unquestionable but it wasn’t the final product I was slowly building in my head as I went through the game’s first half.

In the grand scheme of things, Capcom has delivered a sequel to make Dragon’s Dogma fans happy and wishing for more, but this isn’t a massive upgrade. Rather, it’s a modernization of the overall concept as the highs and lows of the first game mirror the sequel. If you can weather the storm that is Dragon’s Dogma 2, you might come out as one of the players who consider this one of the best RPG experiences they’ve ever played, or simply the worst.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Review - The Remake Everyone Was Waiting For

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth was a joy to play from start to finish and is a title every FFVII fan should play as they’ve done an exceptional job at bringing to life the world outside Midgar. There are a lot of changes to the original, but they’re changes I find myself welcoming, as this has now been one of my favorite JRPG experiences in recent years.
