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.
Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.
Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”
Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.
And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
