Soul Hackers 2 is, as the name implies, technically a sequel to the original Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers from 1997 that was published by Atlus on the Sega Saturn before getting ported to the PlayStation and, most recently, the Nintendo 3DS in 2012. While Atlus has published plenty of titles in the larger Shin Megami Tensei universe since this, it’s been 25 years since the greater franchise revisited this one specifically. Despite the lengthy gap, and the fact that the original doesn’t seem to be necessary to experience to understand the sequel, Soul Hackers 2 doesn’t miss a beat based on the first few hours of the upcoming video game.
