Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance will be the definitive edition of the latest main entry in the series, according to a new rating that surfaced briefly online today.
As reported by Gematsu, this new edition of the game was revealed by a rating from the Game Rating and Administration Committee of Korea which was posted on its official website but shortly after removed. According to the rating’s description, Vengeance will feature unspecified improvements and additional content.
The existence of Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance isn’t exactly surprising, as the game was mentioned in the massive NVIDIA Geforce NOW leak from late 2021. Still, it is good to know the fifth entry in the series is getting updated and possibly released on formats other than the Nintendo Switch, as the game definitely suffered from the technical limitations of the console, as I highlighted in my review.
While on the field, Shin Megami Tensei V runs at an uncapped framerate, and the performance varies wildly, ranging from very short moments where the game runs at 60 FPS to moments when it visibly drops below 30 FPS. Generally, having a few character models on screen is more than enough for performance to tank, and given how many demons roam the field, the game never runs smoothly outside of combat, which definitely feels better thanks to the 30 FPS cap. The uneven performance while exploring fields also leads to a small but noticeable input delay that, while not massive, does make moving and jumping on the big fields feel a little off.
Shin Megami Tensei V is now available on Nintendo Switch. We will keep you updated on its definitive edition as soon as it is officially announced, so stay tuned for all the latest news.
