New Soul Hackers 2 trailer oozes slick cyberpunk vibes
The cult classic JRPG Soul Hackers is getting a follow-up that looks ridiculously cool.
Ask any old-school JRPG aficionado what an underrated title is, and they’ll probably bring up Soul Hackers. While not as well-known as fellow Megami Tensei brethren Persona, it’s every bit worthy of your attention — and the sequel looks damn good.
On Thursday, publisher Atlus released an all-new trailer for Soul Hackers 2. There are some minor story tidbits here, specifically regarding Ringo (the green-haired protagonist) and how her fate ties in with every other character. The footage mostly stitches together random bits of dialogue, so you need not worry about spoilers.
Check out the Twisted Fates trailer for Soul Hackers 2 below. There’s also a high-quality YouTube mirror available here.
The production values are pretty impressive. Eiji Ishida and Mitsuru Hirata, best known for Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey and Radiant Historia, respectively, are co-directing Soul Hackers 2. Previously, the duo directed Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE together. So there’s little doubt that this will be an absolute banger of an RPG. Fingers crossed, anyway.
It’s not far off either, as Soul Hackers 2 is launching on Aug. 26, 2022, for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
