It’s time the devils had their due. Persona Central (thanks Destructoid ) reported that, according to a statement released from Atlus via Japanese games mag Famitsu , Shin Megami Tensei 5 has sold over 800,000 copies since launch.

Whether the two things are related is anyone’s guess, but it seems Atlus has more demonic goodness up its sleeve in 2022. Read more

JRPGs are having something of a renaissance on the Switch. Bravely Default 2 is thriving, but it also features a slew of JRPG hits like Shin Megami Tensei 5, Octopath Traveler, and ports of beloved games like Tales of Vesperia. It makes sense given the console’s portable nature and the genre has always thrived in that environment. The future is indeed bright for th
