Shin Megami Tensei V release date revealed in new trailer

This week during Nintendo's E3 Direct stream, Shin Megami Tensei V re-appeared with a brand new trailer and more importantly, a final release date. As it turns out, leaks from earlier this month were correct, Shin Megami Tensei V will be releasing worldwide on the 11th of November. 

Atlus announced Shin Megami Tensei V back in 2017, shortly after the Nintendo Switch originally came out. Later that year, the developers clarified that the game was in the prototype phase, indicating a lengthy road ahead. News on the game went silent after that, but it made a return last July with a proper trailer.

Now during E3, a new release date trailer has been released, giving us a better look at post-apocalyptic Tokyo:

Shin Megami Tensei V is a Nintendo Switch exclusive, putting players in the shoes of a student living in Tokyo who gets pulled into another dimension. In this new reality, Tokyo has been destroyed and demons are roaming around.

Combat is turn-based and there are some improvements compared to Persona 5 (Persona is a Shin Megami Tensei spin-off series). We can expect more gameplay and story details a bit closer to release.

KitGuru Says: I'm currently playing through Shin Megami Tensei 3 HD on the Switch in preparation for this. Have many of you played Shin Megami Tensei before? Will you be picking up the latest entry?

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
