Editor’s Note (Reggy): While the release date should currently be taken as a placeholder, it is possible that this is a sign of about when Europe should expect to receive the upcoming 3DS RPG.
Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse was released for the Nintendo 3DS on February 10, 2016 in Japan as Shin Megami Tensei IV Final. It will be released on September 20, 2016 in North America.
