Atlus is releasing its new version of SMT V a bit earlier than expected.
Atlus has announced a new release date for Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance that's earlier than previously anticipated. This past month, Atlus revealed it would be letting loose an extended version of SMT V that would include a new story path not seen in the original game. Additionally, this new iteration would be coming to platforms outside of Nintendo Switch for the first time. Now, Atlus has opted to change this launch date just a bit, likely to get away from another major release.
Detailed by Atlus, the Japanese developer and publisher confirmed that Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance is now slated to roll out on June 14, 2024, across PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC. This launch is now one week earlier, as the previous date was slated to be June 21st. As for the reason behind the shift, Atlus didn't provide any additional information, but this news is clearly great for those anticipating Vengeance.
As mentioned, the reason that Atlus likely chose to change this release date for Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance is because its previous date lined up with the arrival of Elden Ring's Shadow of the Erdtree DLC. While it might seem odd to shift this date because of an add-on for Elden Ring, Shadow of the Erdtree is likely one of the biggest known launches in 2024. Because of this, it makes sense for Atlus to to move the date up just a bit to avoid directly clashing with this release.
