Soul Hackers 2 for PS5, PS4, Xbox, & PC Gets New Trailers Revealing Characters, Gameplay, & Basilisk

Today Atlus released two more trailers for its upcoming JRPG Soul Hackers 2, showing one of the demons of the game and more.

The first trailer explains the setting of the game, then moves on to the playable character Saizo, his ex-girlfriend and current antagonist Ash, and finally touches on demon fusion and progression.

Do keep in mind that this trailer has English subtitles, so remember to activate them.

The second is the usual daily trailer and we get the reveal of Basilisk, another demon that has been around basically forever in the SMT franchise and was also included in Shin Megami Tensei V.

As usual, the trailer also includes the daily horoscope, which places Leo at the top of the fortune ranking and Sagittarius at the very bottom.

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.

You can check out the original trailer, plenty of screenshots, a second gallery, more images, even more screenshots, a video explaining the gameplay, and another.
