Speaking about the partnership, festival boss Andy Copping said: “We’re really excited to see SEGA Shin Megami Tensei 5: Revenge to the download festival to offer our festival visitors a unique experience. Music and games have a long history of collaboration and their fan bases often overlap, so it feels like a natural fit. We can’t wait to see you at the play stations!”
