Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse Coming this Summer

Atlus today announced that Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse (known as Shin Megami Tensei IV: Final in Japan) will finally be arriving in North America. The standalone role-playing game will be available this summer exclusively on the Nintendo 3DS.

The story of Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse is one of human pawns being shuffled across a chessboard by the higher deities. One lone Hunter, the game’s protagonist, meets an early demise and through a pact with a lesser god, is brought back to life in exchange for his pledge of servitude. From there, the protagonist allies with other Hunters in the ruins of post-apocalyptic Tokyo beginning a plot that crosses over with the events of the original Shin Megami Tensei IV.
