Soul Hackers 2, the sequel to 1997’s Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers as well as a new Megami Tensei title, will be released on August 26. Soul Hackers 2 will be available on PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, and PC just one day after its Japanese release.
To commemorate Atlus’ 25th anniversary, the new JRPG will incorporate elements from the Megami Tensei series as well as the first Soul Hackers. “It’s up to Ringo and her squad to unlock destiny and save the planet from apocalypse!” said SEGA Europe in a storey synopsis. It is set at the end of the twenty-first century, and the player must, of course, fight to keep the world from collapsing.
Ryan Dinsdale is an IGN freelancer who tweets as @thelastdinsdale on occasion. Soul Hackers is a dungeon-crawling first-person RPG set in a future where technology and otherworldly forces collide in a macabre fusion of cyberpunk futurism and gothic horror.
The gameplay shown is typical Megami Tensei, with the player leading a party of characters through dungeons, fighting monsters in turn-based combat. For those who are unfamiliar, similar combat can be found in the Persona series, which is another Megami Tensei spin-off series. Soul Hackers 2 is directed by Eiji Ishida, who previously directed Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey and Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE, both of which IGN rated as “great” and “good.”
This summer, Soul Hackers 2, a new Megami Tensei game, will be released.
