News

On Thursday, February 17, 2022, ATLUS released a countdown site named " soul-hackers.jp" and a Twitter account (@soulhackers_atl).
The name " Soul Hackers " and the familiar icon with a disturbing message from a being calling himself " Aion " had many people expecting a sequel to the classic "Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers". I was one of them!
Since February 17 (Thursday), when the countdown site and Twitter account were opened to the public, an " Information Collection Sequence " has been shown on the official Atlus channel " atlustube " on YouTube every day at 20:00.
Various questions were posed to the human race to gather information on "Aion" and spread on Twitter.
As information was gathered, the tree-like design of the countdown site grew and finally ended at 20:00 on Monday, February 21, 2022! The full picture has been revealed!



The latest in the series, "Soul Hackers 2," has been officially announced!

The "Soul Hackers 2 Launch Commemoration Special " will be broadcast on Monday, February 21, 2022 at 8:00 p.m. after the mysterious countdown ends.
The voice that had asked questions in the "Information Gathering Sequence" talked about the purpose of the existence of "Aion," and I thought it was finally going to be an announcement, but... it turned out to be a live-action part.
A powerful battle of attrition unfolded at the Kanda Myojin shrine in Tokyo's Chiyoda Ward.
After the impressive battle, a new video was shown and the official announcement of "Soul Hackers 2" was made!

Soul Hackers 2" is an official sequel to "Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers" and is a numbered title, which includes the existence of "COMP" and "Devil Summoner," the "Phantom Society" and "quot;and other common organizations. It seems to share the same worldview with the existence of "COMP", "Devil Summoner", and common organizations such as "Phantom Society".
Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers" was originally released on the Sega Saturn in 1997, so "Soul Hackers 2" is also a 25th anniversary title!
