Shin Megami Tensei IV releasing in North America this Summer

In a Megaten megaton announcement (well really it was just a press release and a webpage) Atlus have announced that the latest installment in the long-running Shin Megami Tensei series will be playable on North American 3DS consoles in just a few months. The news isn’t too unexpected considering that Atlus are also releasing the far more niche Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers, but it’s nice to see that they’re announcing the localisation before the game is even out in Japan. We don’t know too much about Shin Megami Tensei IV yet, but the game looks to feature plenty of demons to recruit and fuse, moral choices to make, and weaknesses to exploit in a revised version of the series’ “Press Turn” battle system. No word on whether the ridiculously cool Shin Megami Tensei 3DS XL will also make it stateside.
