While it’s clear Soul Hackers 2 bares plenty of resemblance to other recent Atlus hits like Persona 5, it does seem to be forging its own identity as well. Haven’t been keeping up with Soul Hackers 2? Here’s the game’s official description… “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 against it: Ringo and Figue. Together, these agents of Aion must investigate and prevent a butterfly effect that will lead to the end of the world.”
Investigate the end of the world as Ringo, an agent of Aion tasked with saving humanity. Explore a supernatural RPG with stylish summoners and dark dangers lurking under the neon lights of a cyberpunk Japan. Amass demons and unlock fusion combinations to create new, stronger demon allies, using their lethal abilities for incredible assaults on your foes. Strengthen the bonds with your teammates and dive deeper into their soul, reliving their last adventures and discovering the truth of their stories and yours.
Soul Hackers 2 launches on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, and PS5 on August 26.
