As for the new SMT V: Vengeance demons announced, the first two in the new batch are Haunt Kudlak and his nemesis Genma Kresnik. Kudlak is an evil vampire said to be the embodiment of darkness, while Kresnik is a vampire blessed with the power of light, and his name is derived from the word “cross.” Both Kudlak and Kresnik are sworn enemies.

Daisoujou is one of the fearsome Fiend demons. He is a monk that died while fasting, and his spiritual power keeps his body from rotting. It is said that he will appear again on the day of salvation. Beast Cerberus is the three-headed guardian dog of Hades in Greek myth. Cerberus is a returning demon from the original game, but will receive a new unique Magatsuhi skill in SMT V: Vengeance that sees him team up with other fire demons that have various heads.

Hell Biker is another member of the Fiend race. His intense hatred for himself and the world transformed him into an abomination only capable of communicating through violence. Turbo-Granny is a demon of the Foul race. She made her debut in Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers, and recently returned in Soul Hackers 2. She is the ghost of an old lady that is said to appear near Mt. Rokko, running at high speed on the highway, sporting the word “Turbo” on her back.

Jack-o’-Lantern, Jack Frost’s sibling demon and secondary Atlus mascot. His pumpkin head is universally recognized all over the world as a well-known Halloween decoration. Jack-o’-Lantern is another returning demon, and he will receive the new Jack Agilao fire skill in SMT V: Vengeance.

Atlus previously showed Tyrant Mephisto, as well as the new DLC demons Kunitsu Konohanasakuya and Deity Dagda.

Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance will come to the Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC via Steam on June 14, 2024. The original SMT V is available for the Switch.
