Soul Hackers was one of the first spinoffs of the Shin Megami Tensei RPG series, and was released in 1997 on Sega Saturn, one year after the first Persona game. Set in the near future, Soul Hackers follows a group of hackers who find a demon summoning gun and end up fighting an impending demon menace. The game uses a turn-based battle system and the Shin Megami Tensei series’ iconic demonic fusions.
Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers was also one of the Atlus games that got a Nintendo 3DS remake. The remake was in fact the first time the JRPG was officially localized in English.
Now that Atlus has been bought over by Sega, more and more of the studio’s game have been localized, with some even getting worldwide releases like Shin Megami Tensei V on Switch. If a new Soul Hackers game is announced, we’ll hopefully get a Western release quickly confirmed.
Atlus is also working on Persona 6, which was teased several times now. The game should be revealed in Fall 2022 at the end of the Persona 25th anniversary celebrations.
What are your thoughts on this new Soul Hackers countdown? Do you think we’ll get a new remake of Devil Summoner Soul Hackers, or a brand new game? Tell me in the comments below!
