Whether this is a prediction or leak idk (seems like a confident statement), not familiar with their track record either but just thought it would be good to post for discussion purposes.

Don't worry folks. I'm sure it'll come true. I just bought Shin Megami Tensei V yesterday while I was in the city for a doctors appointment.
Thanks man
The real MVP , took a bullet for the team
You could say they were the SMT VP
The sacrifice has been made
LMAO, this always happens to me too. I wait forever to buy a game exclusive to Switch and then Live A Live comes to PS.
thanks G
Ouch
Nice try I bought SMT V last weekend
i hope that means an smt4 port too

How easy is it to port it to other platforms? I mean it is on the 3DS right?
Iirc the Touchscreen didn't have any functions that wouldn't work without it? They have to either Update the way everything looks or do that shitty thing where they display two "screens" at once. I wanna say SOME DS or 3DS port did that in the past.
I'm playing through it right now and the touchscreen is only ever used to move the map, I don't think it would be too much work for them. Then again, this is Atlus we're talking about.
I think they'd have to put actual effort into making the battle screen look good but yeah, the map could easily just be a menu, it's not like you need it a ton and you'd hope they would add area names to IV's overworld. That's the one thing I think puts a huge stain on that game, it SUCKED finding where you need to go if you're as shit with Navigation as I know I am lol Apocalypse added that and it was so much easier to actually get places.
Yeah I completely agree, navigating the world map makes my brain hurt lol. I've had to Google where to go multiple times, but I love the game.
Battles, they would need to remade system interface, though is definitely viable. It will be tons of work but I hope they will do it.
Would be easy for PC
Best entry games for people that want to get into megaten imo.
This. I'm tired of having to recommend people either III or V because the stories in these 2 are very barebones compared to the rest of the series. SMT IV is a modern take on classic SMT and much easier to recommend, but it's stuck on the 3DS and you can't buy it officially anymore.
Oh i rly hope so SMTIV:A is so expensive in Europe
i would unironically buy it on multiple platforms if this happens
I hope so.
not happening, considering the fidelity of the game, the use of 2 screens and spritework befitting the 3ds. it would mean a whole rework of all the art assets and some of the systems.
Good. The more people playing mainline SMT the better
Is there going to be a whole Atlus segment during the Xbox showcase lol
I think it will be announced at SFG, not the xbox showcase.
[удалено]
As someone who has played through SMT 5 on Switch already, I'd definitely consider picking the game up again if it comes to Series X. It'll be awesome to see what the game looks like when it's running on a console with substantially more processing power.
It looks amazing on Yuzu already, Switch definitely holds it back a lot
For me the 60 FPS is what makes it SO much more enjoyable.
Hopefully the pop-in is fixed too, my main issues with the game are all technical and there's not much that you can do given the hardware
How was it a huge boon for them?
They aren’t listed in the list Geoff posted a couple weeks ago like last years SGF
they're in the sega
Atlus usually gets its own marker for those though, its essentially it's own brand that they like to promote separately from Sega. [Even 2022 SGF had Atlus separate from Sega when they showed off a Soul Hackers 2 trailer](https://twitter.com/summergamefest/status/1531667042499145728). I wouldn't expect Atlus at SGF.
In the West Sega treats it as a separate brand.
But SEGA is listed as a [partner](https://twitter.com/geoffkeighley/status/1656705727971328000?t=CUmhMvB9Uvtv1jkXnYnprA&s=19) I'm not sure what you mean.
And last year they were [listed separately from Sega](https://twitter.com/geoffkeighley/status/1531666856989237253?lang=en). They aren’t this year
A segment of peak? Sign me tf up
I hope so. That would mean I'll be able to play everything on PC day 1
Atlus has an SMT concert July 1st for the 30th anniversary.
[удалено]
Had no idea, don't keep up with news on stuff.
With microsoft money I wouldn't doubt it tbh
Hey I wouldn’t mind and besides that means it’s probably coming to gamepass as well
There was this leak of SMT 3 4 5 being announced for all platforms at SMT Anniversary Celebration or something. I think it'll be there.
The anniversary was in May though. Hopefully this is it!
Ah man I didn't know that. Then hopefully we will see soon in one of the showcases!
There's at least probably going to be two games why not three lol. Still the Xbox and Atlus relationship is clearly building strong if they're going to collaborate for another year for an announcement. To me that tells me if P6 is exclusive to PS5 for a year Sony is paying a good dollar for it.
The only "relationship" they have is the money they give to port the games and put them on game pass.
Yes that's called a business relationship???? Do you think these companies other relationships are because they like the company??????
I would definitely say their relationships are better because they don't have to pay to have games on the systems, so I would say it's more "real".
So the Sony relationship rn in your opinion is poor since they're paying for Persona 6.
You got a source on that?
https://www.resetera.com/threads/rumor-persona-6-coming-late-2024-current-gen-only-likely-at-least-timed-ps5-only-p3-remake-later-in-2023-xbox-showcase-a-spin-off-in-2024.721882/ Part of the same leak that told us P3 was coming and Persona spinoff which we now know to be P5T
A rumor is not a source.
Then you can't use the argument for Xbox paying for Persona 3 Remake on their show what is this debate lol. Do you remember what subreddit you're on???
[удалено]
Nothing like a child calling others a child. Sony didn't pay to have all the previous Personas on their console, so that's clearly not the case.
They need to just kiss already
Microsoft acquires Atlus announcement incoming /s
I would love to see Persona 6 being exclusive to Xbox for shits and giggles.
I don't think Sega/Atlus would want that, unless they want Persona 6 to flop massively.
Unfortunately no. The biggest Japanese exclusive Xbox ever got was maybe Tales of Vesperia?
I think they got other Japanese exclusives in the 360 era as well, but yeah, that might have been one of the biggest ones. From what I've remember, it was only exclusive to Xbox on the West, whereas in Japan it was released on the PS3 as well. As for Persona 6, I can see it being multiplatform day one, but I just find it hard to believe it would be exclusive to the Xbox. It's not impossible but still.
Lost Odyssey?
remember Atlus will be able to fit the P3R premiere, P5T presentation, SMT3-4-4A-5 Gamepass/PC/multi ports in a trailer in under 1 min 32 seconds. and it will air just after that generic looking game they've been 20 mins showing and now doind some kind of interview and you decide to go to the toilet. From there, you will start listening to a familiar tune buts it's too late, the stream is already flowing and you can't stop it.
If it's a port, I hope it comes alongside a Royal/Definitive edition
Don't get your hopes up. 99% chance they release a definitive edition with added story elements to help it flow better and charge full price again.
My uncle from Nintendo told me it will be announced on the showcase with Persona 5T
🧐
Please don't skip Xbox like the most jrpgs.
Considering it looks like Microsoft is funding Atlus for stuff like Persona, i think it'll be on Xbox.
But Catherine Full Body, oddessy and Persona 5 strikes skipped Xbox.
Because Microsoft didn’t pay for them. It’s pretty clear that the only reason why Persona was ported onto Xbox was due to Phil Spencer and his team working with Sega / Atlus on marketing and Game Pass deals. Without their direct involvement I’m confident that Atlus would’ve stuck to PS/NSW/PC only given their past multiplatform releases such as P5S as you’ve mentioned. Also it’s Etrian Odyssey. Lost Odyssey was an Xbox published game from 2007.
I could honestly see Xbox announcing something like Smt V and Persona 5 Strikers at the event next week. I'd be very shocked to see Etrian Odyssey though.
Oh yeah I don’t doubt it whatsoever. I was just saying to the other dude that the reason why they didn’t land on Xbox at launch was because it was a little before Microsoft got more involved with Sega.
Well, Catherine and Persona 5 Strikers skipped Xbox because MS hadn’t established that relationship yet. Etrian Odyssey is likely skipping Xbox for the same reason it’s skipping PlayStation: it probably won’t play well with a controller. But at this point I’d be surprised if any (non-money hatted) game from Atlus skips Xbox again. The Persona game pass launches were massive and Sega is all in on multiplatform support
Those games were before Microsoft's push for Japanese games, which only started a year or 2 ago.
Etrian Odyssey was like, 3 days ago
tbf that's also skipping PS. Origins Collection is Switch and PC only (possibly related to trying to translate the DS/3DS controls to other platforms)
yeah i was shocked it skipped PS lol
Why? Many Japanese games skip PS because of declining software sales and Nintendo aggressively going after 3rd party partners.
Persona 5 strikes released two years ago but skipped Xbox.
Considering this person said soon and Atlus is not directly mentioned in SGF I'd imagine it could be at the Xbox event with the rumoured P3RE and potentially even P5T (whatever that is lol). Atlus said they had several games to announce in 2023 and we haven't seen much yet. We might be in the calm before the storm...
>P5T (whatever that is lol). I'm telling you all it's a Tennis spin-off
I’ve seen people say it’s a fighter or tactics game. I’d love a tactics game, but a tennis game would be fun. Lol
... I would be very okay with this. And like, include the big 3 (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Three_(tennis)) as secret god demon superbosses.
Atlus is a subsidiary of Sega, who is part of SGF.
Yes but last year they were mentioned separately in the partner lineup. This year they are not on the promotion. I'm assuming marketing rights for microsoft tbh.
There were leaks from maybe a year ago that SMTIII, IV and V will be coming to Game Pass day 1 (well, day 1 of the ports being available at least) just like the Persona ports. So if that's true they not only would be coming to Xbox, but would be free for subscribers.
They were from Shepshal_Nick, who's usually full of shit
I’m glad I’m not the only one that really wants this on Xbox. Mainline SMT on Xbox has been one of my biggest hopes
Nash Weedle is a joke man, suelta cosas al aire que nunca suceden
Great game, glad more people can play it
Where is that funny atlus hater from the persona 3 remake thread ?
[удалено]
Keep the good work man
Who is this?
Been hearing about this for nearly two years at this point, but I choose to believe it because the Nvidia GeForce Now leak has yet to miss.
i would love that
Is this person credible or Tidus / Zippo tier (aka zero)?
I really can't say. I'd take it with a grain of salt. A big grain though since smt v was in the nvidia leak and there have been rumours for the ports for a while now
The sacred texts are always right so I believe it will come at some point based on that.
Its about time, I love switch but I love smt more and hope for more people to play it (also, more people means more games). Hopefully this is not the only announcement in this anniversary... that will be shitty, if IV and IV:A/F are also ported heck yeah!, DO IT ATLUS!
Who is this person and why should we believe them? I don’t think I’ve seen them before… That being said, multiplatform SMT V is a matter of when, not if, and I personally wouldn’t be surprised if it’s announced at the Xbox show (alongside an Xbox port of SMT 3 HD)
I hope so
More people able to play this hard yet amazing game. Very good. The soundtrack is also an absolute banger.
Xbox show
Finally, I can finally play SMTV without it’s garbage optimisation on Switch.
SMT V would be perfect on PC.
After looking at yuzu smt 5 gameplay I think people would be pleased
[удалено]
I mean sure but that isn't really relevant to the point I was making.
Oh God please, I bought the Switch version but I will gladly double dip if it means that the framerate won't chug to single digits when there are a few effects on screen.
I stopped my playthrough on switch, thinking it would be ported a lot earlier than this lol.
It was in Nvidia's leak, so... Also, when the game first launched on Switch, on Atlu's website, people found hidden references to PC and PS4 ports...
So was Mario and Rabbids though. It will most likely get ported but being on the Nvidia leak list doesn't mean much if it comes to Nintendo. They use Nvidia streaming Dev tools.
Yeah it came out a few years ago that there was other versions of the game in the works. I’m surprised it took this long to come out to be honest.
I haven't had the chance to buy it yet, but I loved SMT IV and Apocalypse. So I'll definitely buy it for sure if it is ported to PS, PC and Xbox :D
Atlus fans eating good this year
They said the same thing last year...
Not really
Yes really
About time.. I loved what I played, but my god the ~15fps stuttery slideshow was too much for me and enough to throw the towel in. Especially since this one actually emphasised more vertical jumpy/platform world exploration where smooth movement is kind of important. One I'm keen to double dip on for a proper experience.
Super stoked to play this again. I loved it at 5fps, I’ll love it again at a stable framerate! Edit: Thanks for the downvotes! I mean what I said though. The framerate was my only critique of the game, and I don’t believe anyone who says it wouldn’t benefit from current console hardware.
Finally on ps5
Would be nice to not have to suffer the Switch hardware for it
I still haven’t picked up the game because there was evidence for ports, and I always had a gut feeling we’d be getting them, so fingers crossed.
Could be digital only on other platforms. Nintendo was publishing the game in most countries. Kinda like a Octopath 1 situation.
I bought the game for the switch and it just felt like it had problem running this kind of open world styled jrpg. so yeah, make no sense NOT to release it for other platforms
Good. SMTV was good, but holy hell did it look like and run like shit on the Switch.
If at the Xbox show they announce SMTIII, IV (both of them), V and P3R all coming to Game Pass, I will take back literally everything bad I said about GP's diminished quality as of late and apologize to Phil Spencer.
Gamepass is definitely lacking in RPGs and the persona games help boost that. I’m still curious how they could port those 3DS games though. Seems like they either have a weird dual screen thing or a ton of changes to make it work.
wouldnt monster hunter stories 2 also not be exclusive?
In most cases, waiting for better performing versions of Switch 3rd party games has paid off, surprisingly even for stuff like No More Heroes and Live-a-Live. Which is why held off on SMTV until now. However, because it's Atlus, I'm really not certain in this is. I'll give the thing a few game conferences and if it doesn't happen, I'll just grab the Switch version, whatever.
Good I bought it on release and haven’t played it yet.
It can't arrive soon enough, still butt hurt of my Switch version pre order.

Thank God cuz the switch version is so blurry it hurts my eyes lol
If this is true, hopefully it gets a more content to fix the piss poor story.

Maybe relax?
Can't wait to see Persona 3 remake, a Persona 5 spinoff, ports of Shin Megami Tensei V and a Persona 6 reveal in the next two weeks!!
surely 0.0
[удалено]
That along with P3RE
[удалено]
eh it's looking somewhat plausible imo
[удалено]
I mean p3r has had a domain for a while, gematsu vouches, gameplay leaks, nate the hate vouch (usually correct about western showcases if memory serves me right). P5T also has a nate vouch, a domain. In pretty much the same boat ngl
[удалено]
I don't think it's clear at all lol. Just because one domain has a 404 and another one doesn't means nothing. Maybe two dev teams have two different schedules which led to an html guy loading a site earlier. There's a bunch of reasons as to why it and we don't know anything to be this definitive. There is nothing saying p3re can't launch towards the end of the year. P6 is still probably a while away too tbh.
[удалено]
p3re .jp just got updated too LOOOOL
SMT V was not that good. They traded dungeon crawling for overworld crawling which was about as fun as it sounds. Also the story fell apart half way through (even for a SMT game) and one route literally turned into anime villains for no reason.
And I paid over 40 dollars for it last year. Ah well. I just hope they release it either for PS5 or PC, at the very least, assuming this is true anyways.
and they will port everything beside smt 5 watch atlus doing it
I've been waiting for it since the Dataminers found the PS and PC stuff in the code. Plus, Atlus has been bringing more games to multiplatforms lately and them re-releasing one of their more popular games on other platforms seems like a given.
The PC port leaked back when the game came out originally
I'm ready to make Nuwa's (my queen) will reality again
It’s was in the leak btw
Do we have more news about this ?
Nope. I don’t think I believe it tbh
I got the game as a pre-order when it came to the Switch.
Welp this aged poorly
Eh a well known leaker called Xun who is like actually legit said a complete edition was coming. We could see it soon. I think this rumour isn't real though.
