Atlus announced that pre-orders have begun for the upcoming Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance. The game is available to pre-order physically for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch, as well as digitally for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. Nintendo Switch pre-orders will go live at a later date. The start of pre-orders comes with a new extended version of the game’s announcement trailer from last week.

All of those who pre-order physically and digitally will receive the “2 Sacred Treasure Sets” DLC, which contains the Gleam Grenade item, which inflicts a small amount of damage to foes, and the Haraedo Bead item, which recovers the HP of all allies, with both items able to be used infinitely in battles. Meanwhile, physical pre-orders will also receive an exclusive SteelBook. A Digital Deluxe Edition is also available that includes the “Mitama Dance of Wealth”, “Mitama Dance of EXP”, and “Mitama Dance of Miracles” DLC, plus two Demon Subquests: “Sakura Cinders of the East” and “Holy Will and Profane Dissent”.

Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance is an enhanced version of 2021 Nintendo Switch title Shin Megami Tensei V. The game will include the entirety of the original game plus a brand new story path. The new “Canon of Vengeance” story features a new enigmatic cohort of demons called the Qadištu as well as new character Yoko Hiromine. The new story is stated to be similar in length to the original, and feature a completely different ending with significant diversions from the main story, albeit following the same initial premise.

Shin Megami Tensei V puts players in control of a Tokyo high school student who finds himself in a different apocalyptic version of the city. Before he is killed by hostile demons, he is saved by a mysterious being who merges with him to form a Nahobino, a powerful being that is neither human nor demon.
