Atlas has announced "Soul Hackers 2" for PS5 / PS4 / Xbox Series X | S / Xbox One / PC (Windows / Steam). [Image] "Soul Hackers 2" is the first completely new work in 25 years. This work is the first completely new work in 25 years, following the software "Devil Summoner His Soul Hackers" for Sega Saturn released in 1997. While inheriting the genes of the "Devil Summoner" series and "Soul Hackers", he will draw a story of new people and technology. The previous work "Soul Hackers" is a derivative work of the "Shin Goddess Rebirth" series and is the second work of the "Devil Summoner" series. The world view of the "Devil Summoner" series, in which demon summoners play an active role, is mixed with science fiction elements and gained popularity. It is also famous as one of the best masterpiece RPGs in Atlas history. ◆ Story A story of the middle of the 21st century, a little more future than it is now. Devil Summoner, a demon summoner who lives in a dark society with the paranormal power "devil". They went unnoticed and protected and supported society from the back. And the paranormal being "Aion" who watches over the world detects the destruction of the world at one point. Aion's apples and figs descend into the human world to avoid destruction. They went to protect the two people needed to avoid destruction, but both had already been killed. Ringo performs Aion's special ability "Soul Hack" to revive the target. Given another chance, Ringo and Fig pursue the mystery of the future of the world, joining hands with the Devil Summoners who have been revived with regret for death. Is it possible to avoid the danger of ruin? ◆ Keywords ■ Aion Beyond human intelligence born from the very end of technology. He is watching over the human world in secret. At one point, he detects the destruction of the world and dispatches agents Ringo and Fig to avoid the destruction. ■ Devil Summoner A demon summoner who makes a contract with the devil and works to solve events beyond human knowledge with tremendous power. On the other hand, it seems that there are not a few summoners who use their power for wrongdoing, such as assassinations and crimes. As the apples struggle to avoid ruin, they become involved with two conflicting Devil Summoner organizations, the Phantom Society and Yatagarasu. ■ Devil A spiritual being that has existed since ancient times and is with people. It is not necessarily an evil existence, and gods and fairies are also collectively called demons. In a certain place, it seems that a secret technique is being performed to combine demons and create other demons. ■ COMP A gadget that assists the devil's summoning ability. The shape of COMP is different for each person, and it can be remodeled into the shape of an item or decoration that you love. The apples' COMP has been modified with Aion's technology, and it is possible to equip the COMP itself with the devil directly. ■ Soul Hack One of the functions of Aion. Ability to interfere and improve the human soul and mind. Ringo soul hacks a deceased human and interferes with his dying memory. The resurrection was accomplished by drawing out regrets for death and the person's strong desire for life. ◆ Character ■ Ringo (CV. Tomoyo Kurosawa) The main character of this work, one of the agents of the next-generation electronic life form Aion. He is a newborn being and has a strong curiosity about human society and human emotions. He stands on the front line with Arrows and Devil Summoner and struggles to avoid ruin. Unusual as the main character of Atlas work, apple is a character who speaks well. This is related to the game design of this work, and he said that he wanted to draw "a work in which technology looks around the world of people", which is the opposite of "people who confront technology" drawn in the previous work "Soul Hackers". That. Since the main character is a paranormal existence called technology, it is judged that it is difficult for the player to embrace emotions. So he decided to talk actively. He says he's a character that relives with the player. ■ Fig (CV. Nanako Mori) One of Aion's agents, like Apple. She's cool, thoughtful, and an older sister who looks at apples at her own pace. She also has an interest and longing for humans in Fig, and is very friendly to people. She is good at information analysis and she is logistical support. ■ Arrow (CV. Kaito Ishikawa) An agent of Yatagarasu, an organization of Devil Summoner. One of the "protected objects to avoid the destruction of the world" detected by Aion. He appears to have been killed during an undercover operation and is revived by an apple soul hack. He is usually a quiet young man with few words. However, he is honest and has a passion in his heart, and emphasizes morality. For that reason, he often collides with Milledi. ■ Milledi (CV. Ami Koshimizu) An agent of the Phantom Society, an organization of Devil Summoner. She is killed by an ally for some reason. She is composed by the apple soul hack and accompanies the apple to find out why she was killed. She is calm and rational. She is so focused on her rationality and efficiency that she sometimes makes ruthless decisions, but she seems to be involved in her past experience. ■ Cyzo (CV. Masaya Matsukaze) Free Devil Summoner. He is killed by an agent of the Phantom Society, but is revived by an apple soul hack. He acts with the apples for a certain purpose. He is a romantic and charming kidnapper. He is good at reading and acting in the air, so he often goes into arbitration between Arrow and Milledi. Lubricating oil for the team. ■ Zenon (CV. Kazuyuki Okitsu), Iron Mask (CV. Yuichi Nakamura) The enemy of this work. No detailed information is known. ◆ Game system ■ The key to the Sabbath battle system. When you hit the weak point of the enemy, you summon a demon on your side. It is summoned every time it hits a weak point, and it is said that the devil's army will eventually be formed. Based on the familiar "press turn" in Atlas works, it is said that you can enjoy a more exhilarating battle. ■ Secret City Realm In the cities where people live, there is a city that only Devil Summoner can enter, and it is called the Secret City Realm. In that town, the devil walks along with Devil Summoner, and there are many facilities dedicated to Summoner, such as demon coalescence, strengthening COMP, and collecting information. ◆ First-run limited edition / first-come-first-served bonus ■ First-run limited edition "25th Anniversary Edition" "Soul Hackers 2 25th Anniversary Edition" is now available, which is a must-see for fans and is suitable for the 25th anniversary of the "Soul Hackers" series.
