As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that the recent update for Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance has truly revitalized this already stellar game. The addition of new Demon Navigators and subquests adds a fresh layer of content to explore, making the journey even more engaging.

Atlus has rolled out a fresh update for the game “Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance”. This latest version brings in new navigators for demons, an additional subquest, Elite Virtual Trainers, and other exciting elements. Best part? It’s free to download right away on all gaming consoles and PC platforms.

In 2024, we saw an upgraded version of Shin Megami Tensei 5 titled “Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance.” The initial release was on Switch consoles in 2021. What made this new version special is that it became available on all major gaming platforms too. Compared to the original, Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance offers more content, including fresh areas, demons, visual enhancements, and a brand-new storyline called “Canon of Vengeance.” This additional material expands the gameplay experience by approximately 80 hours. The Canon of Vengeance storyline follows the original’s plot but introduces significant changes from midway through to the end, offering a fresh take on the narrative.

Update 1.03 for Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance has just been released across all platforms. This update introduces six new Demon Guides selected through a community poll, such as Mara, Idun, Mothman, Fionn mac Cumhaill, Hell Biker, and Cleopatra. These Demon Guides travel with the Nahobino on the world map, helping to find items and providing quest tips, but they don’t engage in battles themselves.

The update includes a fresh mission titled “The Guardian of Light,” which you can start by chatting with Goko in the Taito District. Completing it awards you with the ability to combine a new demon, Marici. This update further introduces Elite Virtual Trainers, though their activation requires completion of some unmentioned subquests from the patch notes. In Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance, the Virtual Training involves battles against former bosses, hinting that Elite Virtual Trainers could be the most difficult challenges so far.

To wrap things up, this update resolves numerous bugs such as text errors, graphics anomalies, and adjustments to the English voice acting. As anticipated, this update is exclusive to the improved edition of the JRPG, further encouraging players to experience Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance instead of the original release.

In the year 2024, Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance was one of Atlus’s role-playing game (RPG) releases. Earlier in the year, they had already released Persona 3 Reload and published Vanillaware’s Unicorn Overlord in March. In June, Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance was launched, and most recently, Studio Zero introduced their new intellectual property, Metaphor: ReFantazio, which has been receiving both public and critical acclaim. Despite the fact that sales for these JRPGs are generally lower than those of mainstream games, they have set new records for Atlus. At launch, Metaphor: ReFantazio sold 1 million units, breaking the record set by Persona 3 Reload which managed to sell 1 million units in just three days.
