Is Shin Megami Tensei 5 Vengeance coming to Nintendo Switch?

Scheduled to be released on June 14, 2024, Shin Megami Tensei 5 Vengeance has made its fans question whether this release of an enhanced version Shin Megami Tensei 5 is coming to Nintendo Switch. This is because the original version, released on November 11, 2021, came out on platforms that included but weren't limited to PC, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and so on.

This Shin Megami series is based upon Aya Nishitani's science fiction novel series, which is dubbed "Digital Devil Story." The name of the series, however, comes from the subtitle of the first book in this series. The majority of Megami Tensei titles are generally standalone and known for having their own set of tales and characters.

However, as a re-release, players can expect to see the protagonist return, albeit with brand new storylines. Therefore, this article looks at whether Shin Megami Tensei 5 Vengeance is coming to Nintendo Switch.

The two paths have very different endings and are even mentioned in the official tweet by Atlus to portray it as a point of focus.
