Apparently, Atlus appears to have removed files indicating a PS4 version of Shin Megami Tensei V in a recent patch
With the arrival of Persona 4 Golden on PC and PS4 last year, and the remaster of Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne several months ago, Atlus has begun to take its first steps beyond the borders of exclusivity on specific platforms. By doing this, he was able to verify how there is actually a high demand for his titles even from users outside the universe to which the company was linked. For this reason, after finally launching Shin Megami Tensei V, many fans believe that a possible arrival on other platforms is inevitably only a matter of time. Meanwhile, rumors were already circulating regarding a future release on the PlayStation 4 console, as well as on PC, thanks to rumors provided by a dataminer a short time ago. Atlus has answered these facts quite late and in a not too indiscreet way, releasing a patch that would have removed from Shin Megami Tensei V only the file that reported the version for PS4.
The removal of the PS4 version from Shin Megami Tensei V
With the addition of a new title to the Atlus Steam library a few days ago, gamers had given themselves to wild speculation, assuming it could be a port of Persona or an imminent announcement on Shin Megami Tensei V. This last option. it seemed anyway rather risky, as the title has been released relatively recently, and Nintendo exclusives tend to remain so for at least a couple of years. During The Game Awards 2021, the Japanese company finally revealed that the next game coming to PC will be Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, thus dealing a heavy blow to the theories surrounding it. news about the release of SMTV in the coming months. In addition, according to the screenshots published on Twitter by a rather well-known user in terms of leaks and datamining, it turns out how through a new patch the files in the system have been removed which reported a PS4 version in Shin Megami Tensei V.

Still, it seems that it is the one concerning a PC edition is still present. Hard to believe that that file was not added on purpose, and now that it has been removed it seems even more unlikely that its presence was just a coincidence. This removal could therefore be an involuntary confirmation of the company’s future plans, even if the majority of users now seem practically certain of how at least one landing on PC is planned, sooner or later. In any case, it will be better not to expect further news about it in the short term.
