Shin Megami Tensei X Metal Max [Proposed Crossover Pitch] – Cancelled

30-08-2025

Shin Megami Tensei and Metal Max are both some of the best JRPGs in the market, and if you’ve played any of them, you already know that both have appeared in several crossovers, mostly mobile games. However, after scouring the internet, it appears that the Metal Max director once proposed a Shin Megami Tensei X Metal Max crossover. Unfortunately, the idea got nowhere. Only a few documents of the pitch exist, which you can see below:

Worldview & Story

In the not-too-distant future, the Great Cataclysm triggered by the supercomputer Noah brought about the collapse of global civilization—
But! Humanity did not become extinct.

While devouring the remnants of civilisation left behind in the devastated world, they had managed to survive.
Several years after the Great Cataclysm. A new terror emerged—dimensional rifts appeared worldwide, spewing forth demons. These demons attacked and devoured humanity. People could only cower in terror. But some stood against them. They were known as Monster Hunters. Thus began the war between demons and Monster Hunters. The war saw the Monster Hunters at a disadvantage.

Then, one day, a young man emerged from a dimensional rift.
He called himself…
Devil Summoner.

Dream Game System ② ☆Demon & Vehicle Fusion System

The Demon Fusion System from the Shin Megami Tensei series is, of course, present in this title as well.
Building upon the existing system, it now enables fusion between demons and vehicles! A new race, ‘Car-Devils’, is added. Like the vehicles in the ‘Metal Max’ series, Car-Devils can be driven by humans and used in battle.

Fusing a Car-Devil with a demon companion can create either a vehicle-type demon or a demon-like vehicle.
