The accidental update to the Japanese website of Shin Megami Tensei revealed lots of new information about the game.

Shin Megami Tensei V will fuse the quintessential charm of the SMT series with high-quality visuals of the latest hardware. The first game of the Shin Megami Tensei series was released in 1992 and eventually gained immense popularity, which can be attributed to its dark worldview, anarchic scenarios, and original combat systems with demons and deities as allies.
