The classic PlayStation 2 game has yet to receive a firm release date in the west and is currently pencilled in for a spring release. The Entertainment Software Rating Board rated Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster with a mature rating for blood, partial nudity, sexual themes, strong language, and violence.

Let’s hope Atlus announces a firm release date for here in the west soon.
