Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux was initially teased in January 2017 as Shin Megami Tensei: 3DS Project (alongside Shin Megami Tensei: HD Project, which would later be announced as Shin Megami Tensei V) for the Shin Megami Tensei 25th Anniversary event.[2]
On March 26, 2017 during the Atlus Announcement 2017 (Spring) live stream, the project was officially announced as Shin Megami Tensei: Deep Strange Journey.[3]
Trivia
- Alex's pose differs between the Japanese and English covers.
Nomenclature
Ishida, the director, decided on Deep Strange Journey because it embodied the idea of diving deeper into the original and sounded good, even though he knew it was grammatically incorrect.[4] This was corrected in the North American version because it was grammatically wrong.[5]
