Atlus is bringing Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne Remaster and Shin Megami Tensei V to Switch in 2021

During today’s Nintendo Direct (JP Direct with different games), Atlus made two major announcements: first, that Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne would be re-releasing as an HD remastered edition, and perhaps more importantly, that the long-awaited Shin Megami Tensei V is coming. Both games are set for release in 2021 for the Switch console.

You may not have heard of the Shin Megami Tensei series, but you’ve almost undoubtedly heard of the Persona games. That series is the lighter, hang-out-with-your-buddies spin-off of SMT.

The Walking Dead: Onslaught is coming to VR later this year, nixes co-op multiplayer

There’s another Walking Dead title heading to VR (SteamVR, PlayStation VR, Oculus Rift) – it’s called Onslaught and has you building a settlement in Alexandria to prepare for an upcoming Walker invasion. It’s also based on the AMC “hit” show (I use that term rather loosely now) and will feature characters such as Rick, Michonne, and Daryl.

Unfortunately, the development team (Survios) decided to drop the co-op option in order to focus on other features of the game.
