Shin Megami Tensei V Series Hits Major Sales Milestone
Atlus has announced impressive new sales figures for its popular RPG series, revealing that the combined global sales of Shin Megami Tensei V and its enhanced re-release, Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, have now exceeded 2.11 million copies.
A Growing Legacy
The original Shin Megami Tensei V first launched in Fall 2021 as a Nintendo Switch exclusive. Its dark narrative and deep turn-based combat resonated with fans, building upon the series' long-standing reputation. Last summer, Atlus released Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, a significantly expanded version that not only brought the game to all modern platforms (PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch) but also introduced substantial new content, including an entirely new story path.
The success of the expanded edition has been particularly notable. Atlus confirmed that sales for Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance alone have now surpassed the 1 million unit mark globally.
Celebrating the Milestone
In a statement, Atlus expressed gratitude to fans for their continued support:
"Shin Megami Tensei V has sold over 2 million copies worldwide! Furthermore, individual sales of the re-release, Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, have exceeded 1 million copies! We would like to express our sincere thanks to all of you for your support. In honor of this milestone, we are also holding a limited-time sale – you can purchase the game at a discount on the PlayStation Store and Nintendo eShop. Please take this opportunity to enjoy our creation. We hope you will continue to support Atlus and MegaTen."
These new figures mark a significant increase from previous reports. The last update from Atlus, shared last summer, indicated that the Shin Megami Tensei V series had sold 1.6 million copies globally, with Vengeance contributing 500,000 units to that total at the time. The recent surge in sales highlights the success of the multi-platform launch of Vengeance and its appeal to both new players and returning fans.
What This Means for Players
The continued strong performance of Shin Megami Tensei V and its Vengeance iteration solidifies the series' position as a key pillar for Atlus. For players, this success often translates to increased support for the franchise, potentially paving the way for future installments, spin-offs, or continued enhancements. With Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance now widely available on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, and featuring text localization in various languages, including Russian, more players than ever can dive into its unique world. The ongoing celebratory sale offers a perfect chance for those who haven't yet experienced the game to jump in.
