In the Latest issue of Famitsu, Atlus has announced their upcoming DS title Devil Survivor. The game is set in Tokyo, which has been besieged by demons. The city’s core has been cordoned off by Japan’s Self-Defence Force and is left without electricity or telecommunications. Players take on the role of a seventeen-year-old boy. With the help of his friends Atsuro Kihara and Yuzu Tani, he will use his portable game machine “COMP” to make contracts with demons and take on the forces that have invaded Tokyo. And there’s not much time to spare: in seven days Tokyo will be destroyed.

The game is being directed by Shinjiro Takada, who’s worked on Growlanser and Langrisser, and Kazuma Kaneko, who was been working on the Shin Megami Tensei series since the NES era, has taken on the role of supervisor as well as handling demon designs. The game is 90% complete and will be released in Japan on January 15.
