Atlus has announced that its Nintendo Switch RPG Shin Megami Tensei 5 has sold 1 million copies worldwide.
Shin Megami Tensei V has now sold 1 million copies globally, as per Atlus’ official Twitter page.
This figure is based on both physical and digital download shipments.
To commemorate the occasion, Atlus has released some brand-new artwork of the Nahobino you control for most of the game, created by Character Designer Masayuki Doi.
On November 11, 2021, Shin Megami Tensei V was released internationally for the first time.
The game still prioritises action and turn-based fights above story components, and you can easily spend countless hours exploring before encountering a significant plot point. Despite this, the game represents a departure from previous instalments in the franchise.
This development comes months after the franchise reached another key milestone.
Atlus said Shin Megami Tensei V had sold 800,000 units in Famitsu’s New Year’s 2022 article, which aggregated greetings from 60 Japanese creators.
It had already surpassed Shin Megami Tensei IV’s lifetime sales in less than two months, making it the most popular entry in the franchise.
There has never been a more exciting time to be a show fan.
With Soul Hackers 2 releasing this August on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, it’s fair to assume that Atlus and Sega see worth in the Shin Megami Tensei franchise beyond Persona.
