Atlus has released a free demo for Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, giving players a chance to dive into the apocalyptic world of Da’at and explore the beginning of this gripping JRPG title. The demo is now available on Steam, and the demo will launch tonight at 9 PM Pacific / 12 AM Eastern for PlayStation 5.
Best of all, players can carry over their save data from the demo to the full game, allowing them to continue their journey without missing a beat. However, if you’re already progressing in the full game, be aware that playing the demo after the full version may overwrite your save data.
The demo introduces the game’s immersive world, offering a thrilling beginning. Players can choose between two story paths: the new Canon of Vengeance or the original Canon of Creation from Shin Megami Tensei V. The protagonist awakens in a decimated version of Tokyo, now known as Da’at, caught in a tragic turn of events. This post-apocalyptic wasteland, overrun by demons, challenges players to venture through it, encounter new locations, recruit demons, and battle formidable bosses.
In the demo, players face off against up to four story bosses and tackle around 20 subquests, providing plenty of content to explore. Additionally, they’ll unlock powerful abilities as they overcome obstacles posed by the demon-infested world. Whether you’re new to the series or a veteran, the Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance demo offers a dynamic and challenging experience for all skill levels.
Don’t miss the chance to experience the beginning of Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance and bring your progress into the full game. Available now on PC (Steam) and PlayStation 5, the demo serves as an excellent way to step into the world of Da’at before fully committing to the challenges it offers.
