Shin Megami Tensei V is being released exclusively on Nintendo Switch on November 12, 2021. A new trailer was also shown in the Nintendo Direct presentation at E3 2021. This confirms a recent leak that was caused by an accidental update on the official Japanese website of the game.

The fifth mainline installment to the Shin Megami Tensei franchise is going to be released worldwide on November 12, 2021. This comes as good news to gamers outside Japan, as they had to wait for a delayed global release following the release in Japan with previous Shin Megami Tensei titles.

Atlus, the developer of Shin Megami Tensei V, also announced at Nintendo Direct that the pre-order for the physical version will begin on June 21.
