Atlus, publishing a Shin Megami Tensei game in North America? I know, I was pretty shocked too to learn that Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey, the companyâs first-person science fiction RPG, was being localized for a stateside Nintendo DS release.
The latest in the SMT series, already released in Japan to favorable reviewsâthe highest Famitsu-rated Shin Megami Tensei entry yet, according to Atlusâwill come to the DS in North America next spring, bringing with it the mind-scrambling box art you see above. Go on, admire it.
Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journeyâs science-fiction flavored storyline tasks the player with unraveling the mystery of a âgrowing, black voidâ that has appeared at Earthâs southern pole. The SMT standard role-playing and demon managing rules apply, with Atlus saying that Strange Journey follows in the tradition of Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne.
The gameâs web site is now live, offering more information, should you want it.
