SEGA has revealed additional details about the new gameplay features that will be showcased in Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, such as exploring Da’at Shinjuku, a new region appearing in the Canon of Vengeance, and picking up new tips to navigate Da’at!

Here’s what you need to know about the new gameplay features in Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance.

Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance New Features

Da’at Shinjuku
The story unfolds in real-world Tokyo and Da’at, a vast, decimated Tokyo where demons reign supreme, ruthlessly attacking anyone who dares oppose them.
Explore a variety of areas, including ruined buildings, dunes, and mysterious structures. Each area
varies in size, demons, and obstacles.
In the Canon of Vengeance, you’ll be able to visit the new Shinjuku area.

Navigate Through a Vast Overworld of Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance
Danger and treasures lurk around every corner of Da’at. Here are some features that’ll help you on
your journey—including some brand-new ones!

Magatsuhi Crystals
Collecting the crystals around Da’at provides special benefits! Green Magatsuhi Crystals replenish
your HP, Yellow Magatsuhi Crystals recover your MP, and Red Magatsuhi Crystals raise your
Magatsuhi gauge.

Magatsu Rails
Throughout your journey, you’ll encounter paths made of Magatsuhi that connect two areas of Da’at
together. Activating them will open shortcuts or allow you to find hidden areas that are normally
inaccessible!

Abscesses
If you spot a large red landmark sprouting from the ground of Da’at, you’ve found an abscess: a
territory full of demons who’ll attack anyone nearby. Once you destroy an Abscess, you’ll gain a new Miracle!

Magatsuhi Demons
From time to time, you’ll encounter foes with powerful skills who radiate an aura made of
Magatsuhi. Besting them in battle will earn you valuable items!

Relics
You can find relics through the vending machines located around Da’at! Bring them back to
Gustave and sell them for some extra Macca.

Treasure Chests and Amalgams
Yellow treasure chests provide items and Macca, while silver Amalgams grant you Glory!

Demon Navigator
A demonic ally can aid you as you explore each corner of Da’at. While they can’t join you in battle,
they’ll notify you when they find items and Magatsu Rails.

Aogami Husks
By examining Aogami Husks in Da’at, you can obtain Aogami Essences and gain new abilities in
battle. You can re-obtain Essences from husks you already examined after a certain amount of time
has passed.

Demon Haunts
Using leyline founts will allow you to access demon haunts: places where the Nahobino can
converse with his demonic allies and give them gifts. You’ll also be able to view them using the free
camera mode! Defeating enemies, exploring areas, and making progress through the game can
unlock special conversations in demon haunts, which may result in your allies giving you items or
leveling up. Try visiting demon haunts and seeing how many unique conversations you can unlock!

Cadaver’s Hollow
To buy items with your Macca or sell relics, visit the keeper of Cadaver’s Hollow, Gustave. Simply
find a Leyline fount and head on down!
Be sure to give Gustave a hand too! If you find his pawns—the Miman—and report back, you’ll earn
rewards, including Glory to learn new Miracles! The Miman are scattered across Da’at, so keep your
eyes peeled!

Gustave (voiced by Yusaku Yara)
Gustave is the demonic keeper of Cadaver’s Hollow and has a fascination with human belongings.
He’s willing to purchase any of the relics you find throughout your adventures in Da’at.

Delve Into the World of Shadows and Harness the Full Potential of Demon Fusion
Sophia, the ruler of the World of Shadows, can fuse your demon allies together to create powerful
new ones. Use Dyad Fusion to fuse 2 demons together, break down a demon into its components
with Reverse Fusion, take advantage of Special Fusion to combine 2–4 predetermined demons into
a much more powerful one, or create a demon of the same race by fusing elements together in
Elemental Fusion. Plus, choose from a select number of skills for your new allies to inherit via fusion.
The World of Shadows can be accessed by finding a Leyline fount.

Sophia (voiced by Sayaka Kinoshita)
The mysterious ruler of the World of Shadows. She has come from a plane beyond reality to guide
both the world and the Nahobino.
