Shin Megami Tensei V producer: still working hard on the game, no compromises, news at a later date
Posted on 6 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Shin Megami Tensei V was announced all the way back at the Nintendo Switch reveal event in January 2017. Since then, we haven’t heard a whole lot about the game from Atlus. Today, the game’s producer, Kazuyuki Yamai, broke the silence at least a little bit in an interview. While he didn’t really provide any real new info, he said that “the team is still working hard” on the game, that “no compromises” would be made to make the game deserving of being a mainline Shin Megami Tensei title, and that more news would be shared at a later date when the time is right.
Perhaps we will we hear something concrete about SMT V at Tokyo Game Show next month. That would certainly be an appropriate venue.

Hines indicated that it could be difficult to bring Rage 2 to Switch since the game is built with Avalanche Studios’ engine. Whether or not it “could ever work on the Switch” is still unknown.

Developers of Starlink: Battle for Atlas have often explained how the Star Fox collaboration came to be. After the game was first shown at last year’s E3, executives and developers from Nintendo ended up seeing it behind closed doors. Nintendo obviously liked what it saw, as the Starlink team was invited to Japan to pitch a potential collaboration.
Creative director Laurent Malville told Kotaku UK that as far as he’s aware, the collaboration was Nintendo’s idea. He also spoke about what it was like pitching the potential partnership to Nintendo and Shigeru Miyamoto:
