Soul Hackers 2 is the second entry in the Shin Megami Tensei spin-off series. The upcoming game, which will come with features inspired by the first entry in the series as well as brand new mechanics, is launching on consoles and PC this August.

Produced and directed by Eiji Ishida and Mitsuru Hirata, other featured staff includes music composed by Monaca, character designs by Shirow Miwa and Production Manager Shinjiro Takata.

In a war between devil summoners, it is up to Ringo and her team to decrypt destiny and save the world from apocalypse.

Soul Hackers 2 launches on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Xbox One on August 25th and on August 26th on PC via Steam and the Windows Store.
