Multiple 90s properties have been finding revivals recently, and this August will see the release of Soul Hackers 2, a sequel to 1997’s Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers.
Just in, we have a new trailer for the sequel, and it teases the ‘Twister Fates’ of the protagonists. Check it out:
Here is the official description of the game:
Amidst the glimmer of neon lights, technological advancement causes humans to be consumed by commercial convenience. In the shadows, a war between the Yatagarasu and the Phantom Society is brewing, Devil Summoners who harness the otherworldly powers of “Demons.”
Existing in the secret sea of humanity’s data, a digital hivemind has evolved into sentience: Aion. Observing humankind from afar, Aion calculates that a world-ending disaster is imminent and creates two agents to combat it: Ringo and Figue.
Together, these agents of Aion must investigate and prevent a butterfly effect that will lead to the world’s end.
Though this game is a direct sequel of Soul Hackers from the 90s, this is the fifth entry in the franchise—which is also known by its other name: Megami Tensei. Fans can even connect developer Atlus Shin Megami Tensei to the more brand noticeable Persona series.
Even if Soul Hackers is an old franchise, this should attract fans of the Persona titles and provide another escape into the anime/game genre.
Soul Hackers 2 is set to launch for the PlayStation 4|5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on Aug. 26.
