“Hi guys. My name is Kazuyuki Yamai, the director of Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster.
“The original Shin Megami Tensei III was released for PlayStation 2 in 2003. 18 years later, on May 25, 2021, the game will be released in the west, and for the first time in Shin Megami Tensei history, globally on Steam! And you can pre-order the game now!
“Shin Megami Tensei III is a critically acclaimed title in the history of Atlus. It is also the fundamental RPG title that served as a basis for Persona 5, another title that fans love. As such, we really focus on respecting the original game when remastering it. In addition, we recreated the visuals in HD and tweaked many aspects of the game. I think we were able to really make a modern revival of the classic game. We also added a new narration track, as well as a new difficulty mode, ‘MERCIFUL.’
“With these new features, we hope that any newcomer to the series can get into the game and have an enjoyable experience of playing it. For all of our former Shin Megami Tensei fans and any newbie who will be experiencing Shin Megami Tensei for the first time, we really hope you enjoy the unique world that Shin Megami Tensei III has to offer.
“There are only a few months to go before launch. But we appreciate your patience and please continue to look forward to playing the game! “
