Shin Megami Tensei V is a role-playing game developed by Atlus and released in 2021 for Nintendo Switch. The fifth mainline entry in the long-running Shin Megami Tensei series, it takes place in a modern-day Tokyo setting. The game carries forward core mechanics established in earlier entries, most notably the demon fusion system, which allows players to combine collected demons into new and more powerful forms. Alongside these familiar systems, the title introduces new mechanics that build on the franchise's foundation. As an RPG with adventure elements, it continues the series' tradition of blending contemporary urban environments with supernatural conflict, offering both returning fans and newer players a structured progression through its demon-collecting and fusion-driven combat framework.
