Atlus will be delisting Shin Megami Tensei V and all its DLC from the eShop
The whole Base game and all its DLC will be removed from the eShop when Vengeance comes out.
Atlus has announced that it will remove Shin Megami Tensei V and all of its DLC from the eShop on June 13th, right before Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance releases on the 14th.
The original Shin Megami Tensei V Digital Standard, Digital Deluxe, and all associated DLC will be delisted from the Nintendo eShop on June 13.

Previously purchased physical and digital versions will remain playable and re-downloadable after this date.
After the removal of the original game and its DLC, Vengeance will be the only version of Shin Megami Tensei V available on the eShop. This edition is the Definitive Edition of the original game, as it includes all of its DLCs within the base game. It also has quality of life (QOL) improvements and a brand new campaign, which is reportedly the same size as the original campaign, making the game twice as long. Therefore, the game developers probably want to avoid confusion by eliminating redundant content. However, this could leave out players who have the base game but not the DLCs, and there is no sign that they will be able to upgrade for free or at a discount.
The delisted content will be as follows:
- Shin Megami Tensei V
- Shin Megami Tensei V Digital Deluxe Edition
- Downloadable Content Bundle
- Return of the True Demon DLC Quest
- A Goddess in Training DLC Quest
- The Rage of a Queen DLC Quest
- The Doctor's Last Wish DLC Quest
- Mitama Dance of Wealth
- Mitama Dance of Miracles
- Mitama Dance of EXP
Free DLC such as the Safety Difficulty and Japanese Voices will also be removed; any already acquired content will be available to redownload, but any DLC you have missed by June 13th will not be available, and if you wish to play that missed content, you'll have to get Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance.
Shin Megami Tensei V was an exclusive game for the Nintendo Switch, but now with Vengeance, it will also be available on PlayStation 4 (PS4), PlayStation 5 (PS5), Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (via Steam).
