Shin Megami Tensei 5 Will Be Leaving The Nintendo eShop On June 13
thegamer.comTwo and a half years on from its exclusive release on Nintendo Switch, your chance to buy Shin Megami Tensei 5 through the eShop is about to come to an end. Atlus has confirmed that the base game and all of its DLC will be removed from the eShop at 11:59 pm on June 13, 2024. After that point, you will no longer be able to buy the game directly through Nintendo, but if you own Shin Megami Tensei 5 and its DLC, you will still be able to play it, and presumably re-download it if you've bought it in the past.

A busy year for Atlus so far, particularly when it comes to beefed-up versions of pre-existing games. Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance will follow in the footsteps of Persona 3 Reload which launched a few months ago. Even though Persona is now a more widely recognized series, it actually
