TOKYO - November 11, 2024 - ICREA Inc. (Headquarters: Taito-ku, Tokyo) announces the Kickstarter crowdfunding launch date for "SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI THE BOARD GAME," a full-scale board game project based on ATLUS's popular RPG series "SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI," for Tuesday, November 12, 2024, at 10:00 AM (EST).


Kickstarter Launch


This project brings to life the "SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI" universe, one of the leading heavyweight board games highly regarded both in Japan and worldwide, complete with 72 highly quality and detailed demon figures.  It has already generated excitement among both series fans and board game enthusiasts through early showcases at events such as Gen Con, the world’s largest board game convention, and Tokyo Game Show 2024. Although a delay in the project start date was announced in September to allow the team to strengthen the support of the campaign and refine the stretch goals, the campaign is now ready to launch crowdfunding on Tuesday, November 12, 2024, at 10:00 AM (EST).


"SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI THE BOARD GAME" , a One-of-a-Kind heavyweight board game unlike any other, will be exclusively available to those who support it on Kickstarter. This unique experience will not be accessible through any other means in the future.


This game offers an unparalleled gaming experience, not only for fans of the "SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI" series but also for board game enthusiasts. Don’t miss the opportunity to make it yours!

What is "SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI"?


Released in 1992 for the Super Famicom, "SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI" is an RPG series that celebrated its 30th anniversary in October 2022. It serves as the foundation for various spin-off works, including the "Persona" series and the "Devil Summoner" series. The games are characterized by their setting in a devastated Tokyo overrun by demons.

Through this journey, the protagonist ultimately grows to become a pivotal figure in determining their own fate and that of the world.
