The official website for Atlus' Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux (Shin Megami Tensei: Deep Strange Journey) Nintendo 3DS game remake began streaming a promotional video for the game on Sunday. The video first previews the game's animated cutscenes, and then details the game's mechanics.
The game is slated for October 26 in Japan, and Atlus USA will release the game in North America in early 2018.
Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux will be a Nintendo 3DS remake of its Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Nintendo DS role-playing game. The game will use the original game as a base while also adding original content, and the ability to save at any time even while exploring dungeons. The game adds a new ending, and an original character Alex (seen in visual right) voiced by Megumi Han.
The original game shipped for the Nintendo DS in Japan in 2009, and in North America in 2010. In the game's story, a dimensional portal opens in Antarctica, consuming anything it touches and expanding to potentially threaten the Earth. The United Nations sends a task force to investigate the nature of the phenomenon. The player creates and names a character and explores dungeons within the portal. Like many games in the Shin Megami Tensei series, the player explores the dungeons in a first-person perspective, and may bargain with demons to recruit them. The original game had three possible endings.
