Shin Megami Tensei 5 Passes Significant Sales Milestone

gamerant.com:

Japanese game development and publishing company Atlus has just announced that one of its latest releases, Shin Megami Tensei 5, has hit a very significant sales milestone. Though not as popular as the Persona series, SMT does have its own dedicated fanbase, which has likely grown since the official launch of Shin Megami Tensei 5 last November 2021. Now, SMT 5 has surpassed over one million copies sold around the world, both in digital and physical sales, only five months after its official release date.

Shin Megami Tensei 5's blend of apocalyptic story and turn-based gameplay is likely something that most modern gamers are not used to. However, with its release on a more accessible gaming platform like the Nintendo Switch, the RPG offers something fresh for players who are eager to try something new. With this recent success in sales, it is not surprising that Atlus and the SMT development team are already thinking about expanding thebrand by refreshing older titles and producing new ones to add to the series.
