An ESRB listing for upcoming JRPG Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster on PC has appeared.
As previously reported the story takes place while the protagonist is visiting a friend in a Tokyo hospital. He then witnesses “the Conception”- the destruction of the world. Yet, they survive. Now as the “Demi-fiend,” he creates pacts with demons, spirits, and other beings to break the cycle of annihilation and rebirth.
Players explore dungeons while fighting off monsters- with both having access to the press turn system. When a character performs an attack with an element their foe is weak to, they gain another turn. Without careful planning, it is entirely possible to be wiped-out by foes; or for you to devastate foes.
While the game has only officially been announced for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4, a listing for the game on PC has appeared via the ESRB (archived here). As expected from a game with devils, monsters, and demons of lust; the game has an ESBR rating of Mature 17+. You can find their full description of the game below.
“This is a role-playing game in which players assume the role of a student transformed into a half-demon in Tokyo. From a third-person perspective, players explore Tokyo, interact with demons, and engage in turn-based battles with enemy creatures. Players use melee attacks, magic spells, and demons’ abilities to kill enemies. Battles are sometimes frenetic, accompanied by screen-shaking effects, bursts of lights, and impact sounds. Some sequences depict additional acts of violence and blood: a bloodied man snapping a character’s neck; characters lying in corridors, stained with streaks of blood; a character wearing the skinned faces of his victims. The game contains some sexual material: topless female demons; a demonic creature with a phallic-shaped head and torso; demons with suggestive traits referenced in text (e.g., ‘Succubus’; ‘They visit women in their sleep and have sexual intercourse with them’; ‘Like their mother, they have sex with men at night’; ‘The victims won’t wake up during sex…’). The word ‘f**k’ is heard in the game.”
In earlier news, Atlus confirmed Dante from Devil May Cry will return as a guest boss as DLC.
Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster launches October 29th in Japan for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Spring 2021 worldwide.
