Re: Hideki Kamiya Says The Development Of Bayonetta 3 Is "Progressing Smoothly"

DRWii

@JR150 Atlus has said multiple times that SMT V is still in development, just like Platinum has said multiple times Bayo 3 is still in development.
-Feb 2018: Producer Kazuyuki Yamai states the game is in full-scale development. "At the start, the production of this project only had a few people at its core, with more and more people gradually becoming involved. Although this number is still increasing, I feel that the production staff has come together considerably to a point—and reaching a milestone—where we can say we’ve started full-scale development."
-Aug 2018: Yamai says "Shin Megami Tensei V is in active development. It’s really being developed." and "Most of the demons and characters have been implemented and are moving on the actual hardware."
-Dec 2018: In year end retrospectives/interviews for both Famitsu and 4Gamer, Yamai apologizes for the lack of SMT V news, says development is still progressing.
-Apr 2019: Naoto Hiraoka ("Atlus director for the console game software business of SEGA group"), in an interview with GNN Gamer, says "Shin Megami Tensei V is still under development. However, because this is Atlus’ first time tackling Nintendo Switch game development, there are many things to consider. How to present the game is our future challenge, so please wait patiently for follow-up news."
-Dec 2019: In their New Year's card to Famitsu for 2020, Atlus simply says "Both Shin Megami Tensei V and Project Re Fantasy are under active development."
