A sequel to the 1999 Japanese Role-Playing Game Devil Summoners: Soul Hackers was recently announced. Soul Hacker 2 brings players back to Amami City, aiding outlaws and Devil Summoners in their fight against the end of the world.

Soul Hackers 2 was officially announced through a trailer. Watch it here:

The trailer features Ringo, a newborn being with a strong curiosity about society, culture, and human emotions. Ringo is aided by Figue, a cool character that takes on a support role in Ringo's adventures.

The combat takes inspiration from another Shin Megami Tensei spin-off: the Persona series. Battles are turn based, and is centered around taking advantage of the enemies' weaknesses. However, for Soul Hackers 2, the affinity chart is simplified compared to more recent Persona games. The affinity chart only features Fire, Ice, Electricity, Force, and Almighty.

Players who pre-order the game will gain access to custom outfits inspired by characters from Persona 5. Costumes of the Protagonist, Ryuji Saskamoto, Ann Takamaki, and Goro Akechi can be equipped. The pre-order bonus also changes the battle music to “Keeper of Lust,” also from Persona 5.

Soul Hackers 2 will be available on August 26, 2022, on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One, and PC on Steam.
