ATLUS have just announced an expanded SMT game for the Nintendo 3DS. Check out the announcement box for all the info from the press release.
Your days are numbered. The chilling reminder that the apocalypse is upon us comes from Atlus U.S.A., Inc. and the upcoming strategy role-playing game, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker. Exclusive to the Nintendo 3DS™ handheld system, Record Breaker offers nearly double the content of the originalDevil Survivor 2. The new Record Breaker content also includes fully voiced English story dialogue, giving new depth to the cast of Devil Survivor 2's original story. Record Breaker requires no knowledge of the story from the original Devil Survivor, so newcomers to the series won't lack any crucial plot information. The game will be available at retail and on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS for $49.99 in early 2015. Additional information can be found on the official website at www.atlus.com/devilsurvivor2rb

The world of Record Breaker is on the brink of non-existence. Just before the heralding of the apocalypse, when life was normal, some thrill-seekers were registering on a website that promised to deliver fake videos of their friends being killed. As people wondered what these videos could mean, an invasion began and humanity was forced to face a struggle to survive in an unprecedented catastrophe. For the main character and his friends, they stand up for humanity when the very same website uploads an application on their cell phones, summoning demons. From there, newly minted demon tamers begin the fight to survive and save the future of mankind, but the protagonist's decisions aren't without consequences. What he chooses may save the lives of his friends, or seal their fate.

For those who played the original Devil Survivor 2, the new plot expands the story by continuing the game from the ending of the original game. This continuation introduces a new character to the game, Miyako Hotsuin, but her origins are deeply shrouded in mystery. Record Breaker gives players the option of either skipping to the new content right away or playing through the original game first, suiting the needs for all experience levels.

Main features in Record Breaker include:
  • Tactical Combat with a Side of Demon Fusion -- The elements that make the Devil Survivor series great are back and better than ever with robust, turn-based strategic combat. Since the game is part of the Shin Megami Tensei franchise, fusing demons together to form a stronger army is back as a core mechanic!
  • Choose Your Own Fate -- The line between life and death is razor-thin in Record Breaker. Actions have their consequences, and in the wake of the apocalypse, a wrong choice can result in the permanent death of a character. Multiple endings present the challenge of making all the right choices at the right time.
  • Extra Content ATLUS is Known For -- Record Breaker expands on the original Devil Survivor 2 by nearly doubling the amount of storyline for a total of more than 100 hours of strategic game play and consuming plot, with the additional mystery of Miyako Hotsuin to unravel.
  • New Personalities to Discover -- For the first time, Devil Survivor 2 is getting fully voiced English story dialogue. The voiced dialogue in both the new content and the original story gives added depth in bringing the game's characters to life from ominous beginning to dramatic end.
  • Enhanced game play -- Record Breaker gives player characters new abilities, and the world is chock full of more demons to fuse.
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 Record Breaker will be available in the Americas in early 2015 for $49.99. Details on release date, and pre-order bonuses are still to come. The game received a rating of T for Teen from the ESRB. For more information, visit the official website www.atlus.com/devilsurvivor2rb

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS.

I had basically put the original off because I knew the definitive edition was due out on 3DS so I waited like 3 years before getting OverClocked when I finally had the money to get a 3DS. I thought I heard whispers about this game years ago and worried like crazy it was lost to obscurity when Atlus's parent company went under last year. Holy crap this is awesome!

I. Cant. Wait.

Yay, another Atlus trainwreck incoming. It's always fun to see just what the fuck up will be this time. Massive delays, breaking the EU game, digital only or just straight up, fuck you Europe, not for you.

Hey, you're forgetting not giving us dirty Europeans the free DLC the US got.


IMO Atlus will find a new amazing way to fuck us over.

Probably because it's such a niche game, and they know people that want it are willing to pay the premium.

They started this with Shin Megami Tensei IV and has been at it since. They better not jack up Persona 5's price or else I'll...complain on the internet and still buy the game..!

i didnt like this one... bosses were just too annoyingly op, forcing too much grinding and often much too specific race skill combinations on the player.
and the whole mechanic where ranged attacks push your characters turns backwards, while giving basically every boss ranged attacks, and often having bosses consist of multiple OR multiplying parts that all use range again. no, i really tried to have fun with this game, but it never worked out
