Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse is inching ever closer to its English release, and Atlus has released a brand new trailer showing off the demons in the game. Just like in the original SMT IV, players can negotiate with demons to try to become allies with them. This will require you to have a handle on their personalities and behaviors, and try to placate them to get on their good side. You can check out the trailer down below.

As shown in the trailer, demons can also teach you some of their unique skills once you’ve gained enough of their trust and friendship – another feature that’s making a return from SMT IV. In a press release, Atlus also revealed the DLC schedule for Apocalypse, along with their details and prices.
