Atlus have announced the western release date for upcoming JRPG Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster.

As previously reported the story takes place while the protagonist is visiting a friend in a Tokyo hospital. He then witnesses “the Conception”- the destruction of the world. Yet, they survive. Now as the “Demi-fiend,” he creates pacts with demons, spirits, and other beings to break the cycle of annihilation and rebirth.

Earlier today an ESRB rating for the game on PC was discovered, while only Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 had been previously confirmed. Now along with the western release date, a press release (via email) has officially confirmed the game will be coming to PC.

Atlus Director Kazuyuki Yamai also shared his gratitude with fans. You can find that video and screenshots (via emailed press release) below.
