SEGA and ATLUS have released a new “Daily Demon” video for Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, introducing the demon Nekomata. This demon was previously featured in the original Shin Megami Tensei V.
The May 27 Daily Demon video for Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance introduced Nezha Taizi, a protection deity of Chinese mythology. It’s believed that he takes the form of an ageless young man, and he was granted the trusty weapon Qiankun Quan (Universe Ring) and his trademark Hun Tian Ling (Red Armillary Sash) upon birth.
