This game must be going through some serious development hell. I'm surprised they are managing to keep a tight lid on it.
SMT V is a strange case since the dev team doesn't need to make cutting-edge AAA graphics like in FFVIIR. And since it'll take place mainly in Tokyo and some supernatural locations as per the tradition, they don't need to make a vast, sprawling world. So what the hell is taking them so long?
Imagine SMT V reusing the demon models from Persona 5 and featuring a limited roster of demons like Pokemon Sword/Shield.
My prediction is we get a trailer some time before mid-2021 and the game releases either at the end of 2021 or 2022.

Mr. Community
I'm willing to bet the team working on it can be counted with one's fingers.
SMT has become niche as fuck and I don't think they have confidence to invest on it.

The number of people involved should be at least the same as those who worked on SMT IV. So the credits of that game should give a fair indication of the team size (not counting hired contractors).
I bet the SMT team is going through hell with this game because they haven't worked on a current-gen console game since the PS2 era. The SMT games went straight from PS2 (Nocturne) to DS (Strange Journey, Devil Survivor) and 3DS (IV/IV Apocalypse). Looks like they lack experience with making HD assets.
