For "Shin Megami Tensei" fans, there's more exciting than just playing "Persona" games all day. In fact, there's a new title under the said franchise that you can now access: "Soul Hackers 2."

Gematsu reported that ATLUS launched the official English trailer for the new JRPG earlier this week. "The Realm of Demons" teaser features a brand-new adventure with Ringo and her allies against Demons and Devil Summoners.

If you're a "Persona" loyalist who wants to explore another series of challenges in another world, here's what you need to know about "Soul Hackers 2."

The newest "Shin Megami Tensei" game has just come out with more robust and challenging mechanics especially for "Persona 5" players.

The never-ending feud with Devil Summoners continues as Ringo and Figue try to find ways to stop this long battle. All they need to defeat is the guy hiding behind the "Iron Mask."

"Soul Hackers" will tour you in a bizarre dimension of machines, demons, and summoners. Aside from Ringo, you will later meet Saizo, Arrow, and Milady.

Since it's a "Megami Tensei" IP, expect it to be a turn-based battle, just like what you saw on previous "Persona" titles.

While "Persona" games are staged in an alternate universe, "Soul Hackers" is the definition of madness and difference because its location is the real world itself.

From here, you will witness the coexistence of Demons and Summoners and how their interactions will affect your gameplay. It's up to you how you could give justice to the game by accessing the side quests, unlocking mysteries, and recalling every area on the map.

Free to Recruit a Demon of Your Choice

"Soul Hackers 2" is best played if you appreciate how to turn demons into your comrades. Of course, you have the power and means to select the best sidekick that you can ever have along your journey.

In "Persona" games, the ability to summon demons is exclusive to the main character. Here in "Soul Hackers 2," almost every character can call a demon during combat.

This means that the four party members are capable of controlling a demon and it's not only limited to Joker.

Ringo is the Star of the Show

According to IGN, you can establish different relationships with other characters through Ringo. You can talk to them to uncover new skills and passive abilities.

Boosting the morale of the party members is another way to enjoy exploring the whole game. You can travel across dungeons and discover the backstory of each character.

Another thing to check on "Soul Hackers 2" is the importance of demons when it comes to collecting treasures and other items. You will know their real purpose in the open as you recruit demons.

"Soul Hackers 2" is now available on PlayStation 4, 5, Steam, Microsoft Store, Xbox One, and Xbox Series. It was initially launched in Japan last Aug. 25. The global release of this game is slated on Aug. 26.
