Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance Release
Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance, the enhanced version of Atlus’ acclaimed RPG, is scheduled to launch this Friday, June 14th. Initially exclusive to Nintendo Switch, Vengeance will now be available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC in addition to the Switch. If you haven’t preordered your copy, there is still time to secure the launch edition, which includes a free steelbook case, by ordering from Amazon or Best Buy. Vengeance is receiving critical acclaim, with the PC version currently holding a Metascore of 91 on Metacritic and an 87 for Switch and PS5.
Aside from the original story, Vengeance features a brand new storyline and updated graphics. The game promises a wealth of new content, making it the ultimate way to experience Shin Megami Tensei 5 in 2024, akin to how Persona 5 Royal improved upon Persona 5.
Preorder Options
The launch edition of Vengeance includes the base game, along with an exclusive steelbook and two in-game Sacred Treasure Sets containing Gleam Grenades for attacking enemies and Haraedo Beads for HP recovery. This special launch edition is available for PS5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch. You can still secure release-day delivery at Amazon and Best Buy for the launch edition.
The standard edition of Vengeance includes the base game and any eligible preorder bonuses. However, since the standard edition is priced the same as the launch edition, it’s advisable to opt for the launch edition to receive additional goodies unless it sells out. Steam preorders for the standard edition are discounted at Fanatical, with a price of $52.19.
For those looking for even more content, the Digital Deluxe edition of Vengeance includes the base game along with various in-game bonuses such as Mitama Dance of Wealth, Mitama Dance of EXP, and more. The Digital Deluxe edition is available at Fanatical for $60.89, which provides a value equivalent to the standard edition but with extra in-game content.
