Translation group Aeon Genesis have announced they are producing a translation of the RPG Shin Megami Tensei: if…, an installment of the popular Megami Tensei series released originally for the Super Famicom in 1994.

Rather than being a direct sequel, Shin Megami Tensei: if… is a side story to the Shin Megami Tensei series focusing on a “what if” scenario arising from changes to the final events of Shin Megami Tensei. Shin Megami Tensei: if… features gameplay similar to that of Shin Megami Tensei and Shin Megami Tensei II, both of which were previously translated by Aeon Genesis, where players explore first-person dungeons and engage in turn-based random combat with demons.

The Shin Megami Tensei: if… translation will not be finished for some time, but many fans of the series (and RPGs alike) will be happy to know that the project is underway.
