Shin Megami Tensei Ⅴ Vengeance Demo Announced for ‘Atlus Fest’

Atlus, a leading developer and publisher of video games, announced the “Atlus Fest” event to commemorate its 35th anniversary. The celebration will occur on June 8th and June 9th, 2024, in Akihabara, Tokyo, Japan. The event is free to enter and will allow fans to experience playable demos of Metaphor: ReFantazio and Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance. Attendees can also look forward to purchasing merchandise and engaging in various exhibits and stage events.

The event will be held in Akihabara, a district known for its vibrant gaming and anime culture. This choice of location is fitting, given the significant impact Atlus has had on the gaming industry, particularly in Japan.

One of the event’s highlights will be the playable demos of Metaphor: ReFantazio and Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance. These demos will give attendees a sneak peek into the future of the Atlus gaming universe. This includes the calendar system you may have seen in the modern Persona games.

The calendar system in the Persona series has been a significant and engaging gameplay mechanic, allowing you to experience a full year in the protagonist’s life, managing daily activities, relationships, and the overarching storyline. This system has been praised for its captivating nature, and its inclusion in Metaphor: ReFantazio will surely enhance the game’s depth and player engagement.

As a die-hard fan of the Shin Megami Tensei series, I’m eagerly anticipating the release of Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, which promises to continue the franchise’s legacy with new gameplay mechanics and an engaging storyline.

“Shin Megami Tensei V Vengeance” is set to launch on June 14, 2024, with “Metaphor: Refantasio” releasing on October 11, 2024, across multiple gaming platforms, including Xbox Series X/S, Windows PCs, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and Steam.
