The Japanese website for Shin Megami Tensei IV has been recently updated with a very curious image of a stone wall accompanied by some text which apparently says something to the effect that in 15,000 tweets a disaster will occur. This could be anything related to the series, but do keep in mind that a representative from ATLUS recently stated at the Tokyo Game Show that "we'll have a brand new title to announce very soon."
Here's the official tweet from ATLUS' Twitter page:
If you'd like to retweet this and contribute to the campaign, here's the link.
What do you think this could be? Is there a new Shin Megami Tensei coming soon? Or will this be something else, like a port or remake? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

@redivgamer90 I demand MORE curve balls! It's fun to see the devs experiment with styles.
@Koopa-King I agree
SMT V! PLEASE ATLUS!
OMG!! I'm just trying to FINALLY beat SMT IV, damn backlog. Hopefully this is SMT V, since it's on the SMT IV site.
This news was retweeted by Japanese magazine Dengeki Nintendo. Maybe they know more than we do...
Let's put Professor Layton on the case.
Whatever it is, it will be good, sinds were talking about Atlus. A company responsable for so many epic games,...
Well, since it's on the website for SMT IV, could it just be a port for another system? SMT IV for Vita or phones maybe?
Sweet! Don't let me down now Atlus.
I smell a Vita port. However Atlus are the kings of trolling when coming to the announcement of new games.
My biggest hopes are SMT V or a 3DS port of Strange Journey. But anything else SMT will have me excited.
Nice ^^. Whatever the announcement might be it is still exciting for me as something to look forward to .
(Mostly playing Shin Megami Tenshi IV right now after the sale last week).
SMTIV's getting a reprint in Japan, so...
guys some of the rock has been removed check out the site http://megaten4.jp
you can see what looks like the word Final and a peace sign.
...
Nocturne remake for 3DS!
Just kidding, you'll get Persona x SMT!

Would be funny if it's a remake of a gaiden, like Majin Tensei or Giten.
Or (gasp) Last Bible IV? Majin Tensei IV?
A port of Nocturne?!
SMT IV PS4 port & or SMT V for PS4
There! Are you happy old school SMT fans? Atlus isn't stuck making games that "Aren't REAL SMT games".
My biggest fear is for what/which system!
@Uzuki yes, yes we are. I wonder what level of sworcery we'd need to get them to make a SMT Arena?
Probably a port of SMT IV to something. Wii U? PS4? I doubt it will be Vita. People are fooled into thinking it's doing well in Japan because it's the 2nd best selling machine, but anything other 25k a week is a poor seller, even for Japan, and the sales are non existent in other markets.
@Noelemahc
I'd love to see Atlus localize some of those older SMT games on the eShop and/or PSN. At the very least put the original SMT on something other than iOS.
Please a sequel of the Digital Devil Saga!!
Please be SMT V Please be SMT V Please be SMT V Please be SMT V Please be SMT V Please be SMT V Please be SMT V Please be SMT V Please be SMT V Please be SMT V (on PS4/Wii U/NX, I want the first hd SMT game)
Not that big into SMT. I'm still waiting for Etrian Odyssey 5 after that tease a year ago.
I just hope its not a handheld game. It is too much to hope for a wiiu release unless nintendo bank rolls it but I really hate playing long rpgs on the 3ds...that being said I'll still buy it no matter what.
Maybe it's actually SMT X FE instead of whatever it turned out to be.
@Noelemahc Sacrifice the soul of our first born child?
@Ryu_Niiyama I think they won't dare put Genei Ibun Roku at risk, so it's not likely they'll bring it to the WiiU.
In other news, with the new pieces removed it's definitely "FINAL". The font is kinda Street Fighter IV-ish one, isn't it?
It couldn't be SMT V... Didn't you all know the mainline SMT is now on a decade cycle? They can't release another mainline title for another 7 years!
But seriously, it would be nice to see some of the older titles get modern remakes, or even just translations or rereleases. (Although Majin Tensei 1 & 2 are currently being fan translated, so hopefully their parade isn't rained on... Fat chance, those were true examples of an early SMT x FE style of title, which would call into question their current one, which is really just a Persona spinoff)
I'm hoping for SMT V. Barring that, I'd love a Vita port of SMT IV.
@Ichiban Maybe. Maybe not. Who knows?
Another piece was removed on the website, so we can see it very clearly says 'final' and then has a peace sign in the background. Final Peace? Maybe a special HD remix of past games like nocturne, DDS, etc?
Also on the right side of the revealed portion, You can see a V, which hints at SMT V, but we can't see whats next to it so its too early to tell.
@rishisquid I think it says IV. So maybe SMT IV Final
Yet another piece ws taken off and we can see a name in japenese and a 'IV', which leads me to believe it's a port of SMT IV, a sequel, or a re-release +expansion similar to Persona 3 FES
@Stitches Yeah, I see that now. If it's a sequal I'm fine with that, but I was really hoping for SMT V
Ooooo-kay. So nothing to see here. Probably.
Or maybe not, but SMTIV FINAL would be a weird name for a brand new game....
According to Famitsu and Twitter, it's a brand new game set in the SMT IV universe. It's out in Japan in February.

From what i can gather a new SMT IV title that comes out next year for the 3DS? Don't really get it but there's gonna be a 10 page interview in the next famitsu.
Maybe it's Final Peace (cause of the peace sign in the back), that would make more sense...
@BioOrpheus they just announced its a sequel to 4 for the 3ds
Oh, glad my initial impression was wrong, that Famitsu link actually looks pretty cool It already has a nice change with diversifying character looks, after having the main cast all with brownish hair and in uniforms.
Aww I wanted it to be a Persona game for Wii U or 3DS. Still, I did love SMT IV so a sequel's welcome
@belmont Why would it come to the Vita?
@amiiboacid Why wouldn't? Vita is very succeessful in Japan and has already a lot of Atlus and Megaten games. However I was mistaken since it is an updated version for 3DS.
@belmont Well it has half of the Wii U sales.
@amiiboacid Well in Japan it has moderate sales and Atlus and other jrpg developers make games for it. A lot of them were localised also. Atlus has 6 games for the Vita including Persona, a spin-off of the SMT series.
On one hand: Really hand held again? I really need Nintendo to make a 3ds player.
On the other hand: MORE SMT!!! Wallet what are you doing? You can't move to Japan!
@Noelemahc LOL just noticed the SF-esque font. Yeah it does look rather familiar...perhaps an intern got lazy?
