Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster will add guest character Dante from the Devil May Cry series via the paid downloadable content “Maniax Pack” for 980 yen, Atlus announced. It will launch alongside the game on October 29 in Japan.
Dante was the guest character in the 2004-released Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne Maniax, which launched a year after the original Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne in Japan. This was the version of the game used for the North American and European release of Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne (Shin Megami Tensei: Lucifer’s Call in Europe).
The base Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster game will feature guest character Raidou Kuzunoha from Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon, who was the guest character in the 2008-released Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne Chronicle Edition.
By purchasing the “Maniax Pack,” players will be able to select “New Game ~Maniax~” from the title screen, which changes every scene in which Raidou Kuzunoha would appear to Dante, as well as the title screen loop movie and logo to Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne Maniax. The remaster also adds a “Pierce effect” to Dante’s skill “Son’s Oath.”
Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster is due out for PlayStation 4 and Switch on October 29 in Japan, and in spring 2021 worldwide.
