To survive, the boy makes a pact with a mysterious god to become a powerful being known as 'Nahobino' and fight through this unholy world to return home.

The content will include a new storyline, new characters to meet, new locations to explore, new demons to battle and recruit to your party, and much more.
Soon, Xbox players will experience the classic JRPG series that Atlus' Persona franchise spun-off from
As a long-time fan of Atlus' JRPGs like Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne and the Persona series, I'm happy to see Shin Megami Tensei V come to Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S.
I missed the opportunity to play this upcoming Xbox JRPG when it first came out on the Nintendo Switch in 2021. So, this upcoming Xbox and upcoming PC re-release will be an excellent opportunity to finally play it and see if it has the potential to be one of the best Xbox JRPGs of 2024.
Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance is scheduled to be released on June 21, 2024, for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC via Windows and Steam.
