What is Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance?
Released in 2021, ATLUS's renowned RPG ”Shin Megami Tensei V“ (SMTV) has sold more than 1 million
copies worldwide.
This highly acclaimed title has evolved in every aspect, including the system and scenario, and will be
available on multiple modern platforms!
At the beginning of the story, the player is presented with two divergent paths. The story told in Shin
Megami Tensei V, the Canon of Creation, and a brand-new route, Canon of Vengeance, a dramatic tale of
revenge by the fallen.
The Canon of Vengeance follows the scenario of SMTV but changes drastically from the latter half of the
game. The outcome will be completely different. Enjoy the two divergent stories to your heart's content.
The battle system, demon fusion, and field exploration have also evolved in depth with the addition of
new elements. We are excited to deliver a full-fledged RPG that can be enjoyed by those who have
already played SMTV, as well as those who are playing this series for the first time.
Story
Thou shalt be God----
When a grisly murder scene in modern-day Tokyo blocks our protagonist’s walk home, an unplanned
detour leaves him buried and unconscious. He awakens in a new Tokyo, a wasteland ravaged by
apocalypse now called Da’at... but before bloodthirsty demons can claim his life, a savior emerges, and
the two of them unite to become a mighty being, neither human nor demon: a Nahobino.
Revenge Awaits
Demons attack humans and seek to create a world of chaos. Defying them is Bethel, an organization
seeking to protect God's order. Caught up in the conflict between the two, while exploring Da'at, the
protagonist meets and starts traveling with Yoko Hiromine. Using magic, Yoko and the protagonist stand
together on the front line.
Four female Demons know as the Qadištu. “And so we have found it...The key to the resurrection...” A
member of the Qadištu, Lilith, calls protagonist the Key of Resurrection, and herself The Oppressed.
What is their purpose? A tale of revenge by the fallen begins.
