Nintendo Switch gets the demon-summoning fantasia it deserves with Shin Megami Tensei V

Atlus already teased it was working on a Shin Megami Tensei role-plainyg game for the Switch. But now we know that it will be the next main installment in the series, Shin Megami Tensei V.

Atlus made the reveal with a Japanese trailer it released last night, which you can watch above. The Shin Megami Tensei series used to rarely venture outside of Japan, but the brand brought in a new wave of worldwide fans with the Persona spinoff games. Persona 5 released for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 earlier this year and sold more than 2 million copies.
