Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Coming to North America

After Amazon.com put up a listing for Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey for North America, rumors were abuzz wondering if Atlus was close to revealing the game. In an official press release today, Atlus has confirmed their suspicions with the tentative release date of the game, screenshots, and even the game's official boxart.

Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey was released last month in Japan and earned strong demand and critical acclaim. It received a 10/9/9/8 from Famitsu, the highest score the popular magazine has ever awarded a Shin Megami Tensei title.

When the black spot appeared in the Antarctic, mankind became nervous; when it began to spread, that anxiety turned to panic. The Joint Project, convened to discuss how to deal with the expanding anomaly, decided to send in four ships carrying humanity's finest soldiers and most cutting-edge technology. The mission: to investigate what lay on the other side of what had been dubbed the Schwarzwelt and find out if there was a way to stop it from eventually covering the Earth. Upon entering the Schwarzwelt, the crew finds itself forced to deal with harsh conditions, supernatural interference, and throngs of demons populating the bewildering world.

Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey will hit store shelves on March 10th, 2010.
