Will also be set in modern times
Fire Emblem: Awakeningopened to phenomenal reception both critically and commercially, and if early reviews are anything to go by,Shin Megami Tensei IVwill follow suit. Naturally, this seems like the perfect opportunity to capitalize on both 3DS franchises with DLC forAwakening— but that’s not the case, as Intelligent Systems has opted to go with a brand new Wii U game in the form ofShin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem.
So why isn’t Nintendo taking the DLC approach? Project coordinator Hitoshi Yamagami explains to Hobby Consolas magazine that DLC should provide content for “existing fans,” and sinceSMT X FEis “excessively different,” it wouldn’t feel right. Considering the fact that the game has recently been confirmed with a modern-day setting, I can easily see what he means. At this point, I have no idea what to expect fromShin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem, and that’s easily a good thing.
