NIS America continues to bring some intriguing games to the Switch, and a JRPG from the publisher that's definitely on our radar is MONARK, which has developers with history in the Shin Megami Tensei franchise working on the project. Due in early 2022, it has a new trailer (above) that introduced ally characters along with some new footage.
You awaken in an academy, met by your allies as implied by this cutscene, and you seemingly have alternative identities for the 'Otherworld' as you try to keep EGO and madness in check.
Who will stand by you in the face of madness? Meet your allies in MONARK, and be sure to keep them close as you traverse between the real world and the warped reaches of the Otherworld!
It certainly looks stylish, and no doubt there'll be plenty more trailers and details teased in the coming months ahead of release.
Do you like the look of this?

the voice acting is
questionable
Honestly this game gives me the vibe that it's going to become a cult classic a few years after its release, kind of like Tokyo Mirage ended up. Looks awesome and probably a release day buy for me! Did anyone else get the feeling that Shinya is actually a girl or something, especially going by his costume?
I still have no idea what this game is about XD
Yes, this one looks good but Shin Megami coming out. The voice acting is a bit questionable but I’ll give it a pass. I want to wait for a review.
Still tentatively interested in this game, but that voice acting is garbage. Really painful, even.
@TheFrenchiestFry kinda surprised cause I believe I recognize some of the voice actors from some pretty big anime. Hopefully it’s better that it seems from just the trailer.
Aaaaaaand... Still no gameplay, of course, why would we need to know about that.
These anime game devs really are proud of their characters it seems.
Darn, I was looking forward to this knowing the devs were from other franchises i like, but NIS has never touched a game that i could remotely get into, so it's a hard pass for me, i guess.
I don't really have a problem with copying other games or using them for inspiration and all that but wow this feels like it's trying far too hard to be Persona
Looks like a nice blend of Persona and SMT so far. Definitely keeping my on eye on this.
