Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster

Shin Megami Tensei III Demi-fiend figma

We have news about the Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster figma for Demi-fiend – specifically a release date, new photos, and pre-orders. This comes as production gets into the preparation stage for later this year.

The Demi-fiend figma was first made known last October. It was only shown in prototype form at the time, so this is our first look at the final version with full coloring. We now have confirmation that the figure will be available in December 2022.

Below is the official product description:

Just like with the PlayStation 2 original, Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster features Dante from Devil May Cry. The character can be accessed as extra DLC for the game.

It turns out that bringing Dante back was a top priority for Atlus. Kazuyuki Yamai, who directed the remaster, told Destructoid that “including Dante was part of our original project proposal” and there was “never any question as to whether we wanted him back.”

Today, Atlus shared a new Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster video featuring director Kazuyuki Yamai. Yamai goes over the RPG’s Digital Deluxe Edition content, which includes the Maniax Pack DLC (featuring Dante from Devil May Cry), music from a variety of previously released Shin Megami Tensei titles, and the Mercy and Expectation Map Pack with two additional dungeons.

Also keep in mind that the Merciful Difficulty DLC is free to all. This provides a more accessible for players interested in focusing on the game’s stor.y

Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster is an exhausting game. I don’t just mean exhausting in that it has a long name that I’m already tired of typing out, but rather, exhausting as an experience overall. Its world is bleak, barren and void of any semblance of hope for its inhabitants. Its gameplay, consisting almost entirely of archaic turn-based combat, can be unforgiving and occasionally opaque. And while the game has been given a small facelift for this 2021 rerelease, it largely embraces its PlayStation 2 origins and does little to modernize itself today’s audiences. Depending on what type of player you are, this may be enough to turn you off from the game entirely, but those who enjoy patiently unpacking a cryptic, challenging experience will likely find themselves deeply absorbed in Shin Megami Tensei III.

May is looking to be another full month for Switch, with a lot of awesome releases coming soon. To help sort through them all, we’ve put together a video of the most anticipated Switch games coming in the month.

Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster

I’ve enjoyed digging into sprawling, dense RPGs ever since I was a kid, but Shin Megami Tensei has long been one of my gaming blind-spots. That’s despite me being a huge fan of the Persona series of spin-off RPGs – which are so popular in 2021 that still calling them spin-offs feels a bit reductive. So, when Atlus announced that Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne would be getting an HD remaster for Switch and other platforms, I was excited to finally experience a classic game in the franchise on a more modern, convenient platform.
