Atlus Are Bringing Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux To The Americas In 2018

Nintendo and Atlus announced yesterday that they will be bringing Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux to the 3DS in the Americas. The American release is set for early 2018, while there is still no European date set, its likely the game will release in Europe around the same time. Strange Journey Redux is the western title for the game, it is known as Shin Megami Tensei: Deep Strange Journey in Japan.

The game will retain its original Japanese audio and retail for $39.99 USD. The full description for the game reads, "A spatial distortion full of demons appeared in Antarctica, threatening to engulf the Earth in Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey. The United Nations responded by tasking a team of highly advanced specialists with piercing the anomaly and figuring out how to stop it from the source. Well, get ready to don your Demonica once again in this new expanded port: Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux. Expect new story content, additional endings, a new dungeon to explore, and more in the return of this sci-fi tinged Shin Megami Tensei adventure."

Alongside the announcement, Atlus and Nintendo released a series of screenshots of the game in action, as well as an announcement trailer.

The game's full list of features, courtesy of Atlus (via Gematsu), are as follows:

• A Stranger Journey Back – In Strange Journey Redux, you play as a brave United Nations soldier investigating a spatial anomaly called the Schwarzwelt–a dome of dark energy that threatens to consume the world. Inside, you'll find it home to a nightmare mirror of our own Earth, populated with demons dying to meet you. The game touts brand-new illustrations by Masayuki Doi, updated visuals, UI tweaks, and more to make this journey back into the Schwarzwelt… even stranger.
• Additional Story Content and a Brand-new Character – You won't be retreading the same nightmarish path as before because a brand-new character named Alex will play a major role in how the story unfolds. Much about her is a mystery, but there is one thing you know for sure: she's got a bone to pick with you. Joining her are new demons you might recognize from other Shin Megami Tensei entries, new endings, and a new dungeon to die in–I mean, discover.
• A True Shin Megami Tensei Adventure – With its twisted demonic sci-fi story, addictive demon-collecting fun, and multiple narrative paths to explore, Strange Journey Redux is an essential Atlus JRPG adventure that can't be missed!
