Atlus Moves Release of ‘Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance’ to June 14
Rather than announcing a delay, Atlus has instead revealed that their upcoming revisit of Shin Megami Tensei V will instead be bumped up from its original June 21 release. Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance will now arrive on June 14 for the Nintendo Switch, as well as PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, and PC via Steam.
At the beginning of Vengeance, players will be able to choose from two story paths: the Canon of Creation, and a brand-new route in the Canon of Vengeance. The Canon of Vengeance follows the scenario of SMTV, but changes drastically from the latter half of the game. Those changes include the introduction of the Qadištu, four female demons who seek revenge, which happens to involve the player, who is referred to as the “Key of Resurrection” by the Qadištu.
Vengeance will also see the return of the Press Turn Battle System, which rewards the player for exploiting the weaknesses of enemies. The system has been enhanced to include new skills and elements that expand Vengeance‘s strategic elements. That also includes the addition of exclusive skills available only to certain demons.
Furthermore, all previous DLCs for SMTV will be included with Vengeance. As well, Save Data from Shin Megami Tensei V loaded into Vengeance can carry over data of up to three demons from the demon compendium, as well as previous play bonuses.

Upcoming “Unholy Alliance” Update for ‘Cult of the Lamb’ Adds Local Co-op and More [Teaser]
Cult of the Lamb players will be getting more free goodies later this summer with the Unholy Alliance update. Coming August 12, the update introduces a brand new playable character in the Goat, which coincides with the game allowing local co-op.
With the Unholy Alliance update, the entire Cult of the Lamb campaign will be playable in local co-op. Players will also be able to enjoy special 2-player versions of existing mini-games, such as Fishing and Knucklebones, as well as choose from a selection of weapons, tarot cards, curses, and corrupted relics as your cooperative crusades progress.
The Lamb and Goat can also swap weapons, deal extra damage when fighting back to back, and even deliver a critical hit when their attacks are in sync. Good news for those who prefer to stay alone in their corner: they will be able to benefit from various new powers.
In addition to the addition of cooperative play, the Unholy Alliance expansion adds several tarot cards, relics, buildings, fleeces, character traits and quests, as well as the addition of new secrets to discover.
More information on the update will be released as the launch date creeps closer. Cult of The Lamb is available now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch.
