A new entry in the Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers series may be on the horizon. Atlus has a teaser website up, with a countdown ticking down to February 21 at 20:00 JST. Beyond the countdown, there's not much else, although upon loading the webpage, there is some English text. The last time we saw a Soul Hackers game was on the Nintendo 3DS, and released in 2013, as a remake of the original on the Sega Saturn.

It's a new game, there was a teaser stream where you could submit questions to twitter to get answered and the video was a timer spliced with hazy screenshots that flashed abruptly at points, there's a new MC and a couple of familiar locations from Soul Hackers

YES!

But come on, Atlus, where's the final Persona announcement?

 

[ZeroFX]

Personaf*gs this is not persona, you may return to your (not)normal lifes and leave smt alone.

 

[MasterPanda]

yet another NFT thing coming

(I really mean it, as SEGA is broken as usual)

I would hope not .... They should speed up negotiations with Microsoft or Sony if they're in need of Money. (Personally would prefer Microsoft because I game on PC)

Nice, never got into these kinda JRPGs and they look boring (JRPGs in general, specially Etrian Odyssey style, are a trash genre for me)

Why is it nice then?

Why is it nice then?

I'm a fan of the plot

Switch please. I never had the chance to play on the DS because it's too damn expensive.

I'm about 99% certain this will come to Switch.

You mean 3DS.

I was lucky enough to pick my copy up from the NIS-America (Europe) webstore during one of their sales... still have it sealed - no reason to open it with the CIA installed on my 3DS.
...but if you really want to support them with a purchase, it's still available digitally on the 3DS store for a lot cheaper than physical copies go for - grab it while the store is still alive.

They only sold a few physical copies from where I live and it's too expensive for a 3DS game at that time. I refuse to buy digital games to this day.

I don't know why but I feel like it's going to be something for smartphones. In any case, with all the years of work they invested on the 3D models for SMTV, would make sense for atlus to use them in other 3d games... who knows.

Edit: no Switch uh? Guess I'm going to dedicate all my - scarce - free time to XB3 lol

 

[Ritsuki]

Quite hyped about the new game, hope they'll communicate some info in English soon. Bit disappointed that Switch got forgotten tho

Is the PC gaming market in Japan big? It just feels a bit weird to me in regards to the choice of platforms this game is being released to. The xbox platform has barely any presence in the japanese market for a long time. I could understand PS4 with its already established large user base but the PS5 is barely selling there(maybe due to stock shortages or just lack of interest). Maybe they're banking in on the fanbase of the more popular persona franchise? Also not releasing this on switch seems a missed opportunity seeing that japanese weekly sales chart in software/hardware is dominated by the switch. It could also be that they can't make this game run on switch though. Honestly, I still can't understand how atlus thinks.

 

[Viri]

I mean cool, it's coming to PC, which means I can just play it there. But, I'm so confused as to why no Switch port, lol.
