Time to put on some skinny clothes, land wrangle yourself up a choice demon as Aeria announces the open beta for Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine Online.
According to countless tips from our beloved readers, Aeria Games has sent out their first round of invites to the closed beta test of Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine Online.
Great news for those MegaTen fans who haven’t just sucked it up and learned Japanese by now, Aeria Games has announced that they’ve acquired Atlus’ Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine Online and are prepping it for a North American and European release. Set in a post-apocalyptic Tokyo somewhere between Shin Megami Tensei 1 and 2, players choose one of three factions – the order preserving Law, system crashing Chaos, and mercenary Neutrals – and utilise a real-time strategic fighting system to help defeat the demons running rampant throughout the city. It features many of the mainstays of the main series, including Devil Partnership and Devil Fusing to create new breeds, my personal favourite aspect of the franchise. Best of all, it follows the free-to-play, microtransaction model, which means you won’t have to shell out big bucks only to discover you hate it.
The announcement didn’t come with any sort of time frame, but Aeria has historically been pretty quick from announcement to beta, so I’d keep an eye on them if I were you.
