IRVINE, Calif. – November 12, 2021 – Neither human or demon, the newly-forged Nahobino and his friends must decide what is worth saving…and prepare to sacrifice everything in its name. Shin Megami Tensei V is available now exclusively for Nintendo Switch.

When a grisly murder scene in modern-day Tokyo blocks our protagonist’s walk home, an unplanned detour leaves him buried and unconscious.
