Everything announced at the Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase
The time for Creation has come.
Nintendo’s Direct Mini Partner Showcase event showcased some new Switch titles and downloadable content (DLC) from the company’s development and publishing partners including Hi-Rez Studios, Spike Chunsoft, and Atlus.
Here’s everything important that was announced.
Shin Megami Tensei V
The highlight of the Direct Mini: Partner Showcase was the announcement of Shin Megami Tensei V, Atlus’ hit role-playing game. Similar to the other titles of the franchise, the trailer showed a post-apocalyptic scene set in Tokyo, Japan. Terrifying demons have taken over the city, and it seems like at the center of it all is a green-haired student which might be the protagonist of the story.
The last Shin Megami Tensei (IV: Apocalypse) was released four years ago on the Nintendo 3DS, and fans have been dying for a sequel since then.
Shin Megami Tensei V will be an exclusive title for the Nintendo Switch and will be simultaneously released worldwide this 2021.
