Shin Megami Tensei V's 11th November release date continues to draw ever closer and, while we all wait for the next installment in the series, Atlus has dropped yet another in a long line of teaser trailers, this time showing off some details about Herald Gabriel, one of the game's 200+ demon characters.
The trailer, which you can check out above, is in Japanese but it does still give you a chance to check out a little bit of the upcoming post-apocalyptic RPG's battle action.
Shin Megami Tensei V follows on from its 3DS predecessor, which released back in 2013, and Atlus' official press release has a few more details on the ins and outs of the story this time around:
“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. ”
The previous entry in the series, Shin Megami IV, scored big in reviews upon its release eight years ago, with our very own review handing out some high praise indeed, so we're pretty psyched to get to grips with this follow-up when it hits a little later this year.
Here's a few screenshots to whet your appetite further.
