Since one Soul Hackers 2 trailer a day appears not to be enough, Atlus has doubled down with a second video today, and it’s a meaty one.
The video, which actually has English subtitles despite coming from the Japanese arm of the company, starts with an introduction by Ringo, continues with an explanation of the game mechanic, and then ends by talking about Arrow, one of the game’s heroes.
You can check it out below. Do remember to press the “cc” button to activate subtitles.
Soul Hackers 2 releases for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC (Steam and Windows Store) on August 26, just one day after the Japanese launch on August 25.

Here’s how Atlus officially describes the game:
