While developer and publisher Atlus has been hard at work supporting the Persona brand with the localization of Persona 5 Royal coming this year and Persona 5 Scramble in the pipeline for Nintendo Switch, they reassure us that Shin Megami Tensei V is not dead.
A brief teaser line dropped by the Japanese series twitter @megaten_atlus asks us to “look forward” to 2020:
『真・女神転生Ｖ』続報にどうぞご期待ください！ https://t.co/kv5yKyyWl6

Please look forward to the follow-up to “Shin Megami Tensei V”!
While the next entry in the original Megami Tensei RPG series is hotly anticipated by its fanbase, Atlus may have set expectations of its release date far too soon. Announced in tandem with the Nintendo Switch in 2017, the game wasn’t even considered in full production by its director until February of 2018.
With that said, this writer doesn’t think it’s wise to have any expected timeframes. Atlus is known for its patience in announcing new information. What are your hopes for the next entry in Shin Megami Tensei?
