Atlus US has today announced that the latest entry in the long running series Shin Megami Tensei will indeed see a Western release on the Nintendo Switch.
Confirming the news with a trailer and screens, there’s not much else to go on other than than the blurb, which tells us it’ll be ‘set in modern Tokyo’ and that ‘players will face a new onslaught of demons in the latest from the highly-acclaimed series.’
This entry will mark the Sega developed RPG franchise’s first appearance on the Switch. Based on the Aya Nishitani novel of the same name, the first game came out on the Famicom all the way back in 1987 and spawned both the Devil Spawner and the hugely popular Persona series.
It was already known that a new game was heading to the Switch earlier this year when a Japanese teaser was posted on the Nintendo UK Youtube channel, but this is the first official confirmation from Atlus that it’ll come out in the West with presumably an English translation. There’s no release date yet, but expect to hear more in the future.
