Development
At a Sega smartphone 2017 event, Sega presented Dx2 Shin Megami Tensei: Liberation (alongside three other new games set for release in 2018: Kyoto Kotoba RPG Kotodaman, Wonder Gravity: Pino to Juryoku Tsukai, and Pro Soccer Club: o Tsukurou! Road to World).
At the presentation, producer Riichiro Yamada appeared, stating that there have been wishes for the game worldwide, and not just in Japan.
Currently, the game has reached a state of debugging and adjustment, being tested in-house by 200-300 people.
