Shin Megami Tensei
2017 marks the 25th anniversary of the Shin Megami Tensei series, and Atlus has already shared some of its plans for this momentous occasion. The first is a 3DS remake of Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey, which was originally released on the Nintendo DS back in 2009. The game will feature full voice acting and several other gameplay improvements, and it’s set to be released in the fall for Japan. However, there’s no word on whether the game will be coming west. Though, considering the company’s pretty decent track record of localizing their popular Japanese games, this seems highly likely. We’re definitely hoping to get a solid release date for the English version of Strange Journey this E3.
That aside, Atlus also teased a brand new Shin Megami Tensei game on the Switch during Nintendo’s livestream presentation earlier this year. They didn’t reveal if it was going to be the next mainline SMT game in the series, and all we know is that the game will be made with Unreal Engine 4. The teaser trailer did give off a very Nocturne vibe, so for all we know, it could very well be an enhanced remake of the notoriously difficult cult classic PS2 game.
Either way, Atlus hasn’t said much about the Shin Megami Tensei Switch game since the initial reveal, and E3 2017 seems like a prime time for the company to share more information with us.
