Shin Megami Tensei TTRPG receives first ever official English release in 2024
AtlusShin Megami Tensei – The Roleplaying Game: Tokyo Conception is the first tabletop RPG based on the series to ever receive an English language release and it’s coming in 2024.
The Shin Megami Tensei series and its popular Persona spin-off franchise have been growing in popularity outside of Japan, but a lot of the merchandise for both entities never reaches international shores, with US and UK fans forced to look on with jealousy at the cool Persona loot that comes out.
There have been Shin Megami Tensei card games and manga franchises that never left Japan, along with a tabletop RPG that has received numerous sourcebooks over the years. There is some basic information about these books online, but most of that comes from dedicated fan works, rather than Atlus.
The tabletop RPG fans who are looking for something new will get the chance to visit the Vortex World from Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne, as it’s pen and paper adaptation is finally leaving Japan.
