First of all, we get to see the gameplay of Tsuchigumo, a demon from Japanese folklore that debuted in the series with Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei II in 1990.

The second trailer showcases the DLC coming for the game, all of which will launch on day one.

  • “Return of the Demon” will bring forth the Demi-fiend from Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne and a bunch of powerful fiends.
  • “A Goddess in Training” will let you unlock Artemis
  • “The Rage of a Queen” will let you unlock Cleopatra
  • “The Doctor’s Last Wish” will ley you unlock Mephisto

There will also be three paid DLC which will make the game easier to play by prompting various Mitama to appear with higher frequency.

The “Safety” difficulty will also be added as a free DLC for those who want to just enjoy the story without worrying too much about being challenged.

A DLC bundle will also be available if you want to purchase them all at a discounted price.

We also learn that there are two different kinds of new game plus and a new trailer (yes, another) will be released next week.

You can watch both the videos below. Incidentally, the first one about the DLC has English subtitles that you can activate with the CC button.

Shin Megami Tensei V releases for Nintendo Switch on Nov. 12, 2021. If you’re unfamiliar with it, you can enjoy and a brief official description below, hinting at the story.

“When a grisly murder scene in modern-day Tokyo blocks our protagonist’s walk home, an unplanned detour leaves him buried and unconscious.

He awakens in a new Tokyo, a wasteland ravaged by apocalypse now called Da’at… but before bloodthirsty demons can claim his life, a savior emerges, and they unite to become a mighty being neither human nor demon: a Nahobino.

With newfound power, the protagonist ventures through Da’at, an enigmatic realm filled with mythical deities and demonic tyrants in constant conflict for survival. Searching for answers, the protagonist must forge his own path in a battle between light and dark to dictate the fate of the world.”
