Atlus has shared another Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance trailer focusing entirely on the new story branch featured in the expanded PS5, PS4 re-release. Also releasing for Xbox systems and Nintendo Switch, you can see exactly what the fresh content has to offer over the original release in the trailer above. An expanded plot and new allies are teased, all of which are set to feature in reportedly «75 hours» of new content.
SMT 5: Vengeance Offers '75 More Hours of Gameplay', Says Atlus | Push Square
24.04.2024 - 19:27 / pushsquare.com
The original Shin Megami Tensei 5 on Nintendo Switch is already a long game, clocking in at around 70 hours if you want to see most of what the RPG has to offer — and its expanded re-release, Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance, will apparently double that runtime. That is, if you play through the game twice, since Vengeance's main selling point is the addition of a new storyline that branches off from the existing release.
Indeed, this isn't just Atlus bolting additional quests or an epilogue onto the title; the developer wants to put a whole new spin on the adventure. In an interview with GameSpot, veteran producer Shinjiro Takata explains: «This time, we went in with the goal of taking a new direction for Vengeance, compared to just making a high spec version of previous titles.»
He continues: «We focused on making this the best Shin Megami Tensei 5 by carefully improving the system based on much of player feedback, while focusing on adding new elements [...] In the newly added Vengeance route, the story development gradually begins to change from the original route and will unfold completely differently starting from the middle of the story.»
And then we get the stat, with Takata stating that Vengeance features «a whole new story with 75 more hours of gameplay».
Of course, we don't quite know how different the new route will be from the original. We're not expecting a completely new game, but it does sound like it'll boast some significant changes — and while that's exciting for fans of the initial release, those who'll be playing through Shin Megami Tensei 5 for the first time on PS5 and PS4 should effectively have two lengthy, unexplored stories to enjoy.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, he's played 'em all — a little too much, some might say.
The best Shin Megami Tensei 5 since the last Shin Megami Tensei 5...
Oh man, I never even made it to Tokyo Tower on the Switch release on account of the dismal framerate and dodgy visuals, and also something just not clicking in the game for me, possibly due to the technical issues. How am I going to find time to play it TWICE now? Certainly not happening before Metaphor. I'm barely into P3R!
Games for me are mostly as long as I have fun with them, simple.
The best Shin Megami Tensei 5...until the definitive version!

Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance Preview – Can Persona’s progenitor hit the big time?
We’ve all heard of Persona — it’s one the undisputed kings of the RPG right now, each game pitting one unwitting school kid against an evil adult, using an army of angels and demons to achieve the insurmountable odds stacked against them. But how many people have played a Shin Megami Tensei game, the franchise from which Persona was born? We’d guess comparatively few people.
