Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers Release Date Announced

NIS America announced today its plans to partner with ATLUS, a brand of Index Digital Media, Inc., to publish Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers in Europe this fall, exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS. Developed by ATLUS and originally released for the Sega Saturn in Japan back in 1997, and for the PlayStation in 1999, Soul Hackers will make its European debut with a variety of new gameplay features, enhancements, and a full English localization.

Soul Hackers delivers a first-person, dungeon-crawling RPG experience set in a future where technology and otherworldly forces meet in a macabre fusion of cyberpunk futurism and gothic horror. A first-person sci-fi RPG epic, Soul Hackers tells of a city held up as a beacon of humanity’s triumph of technology, but with an infernal secret. In this would-be utopia, a group of hackers takes on a centuries-old mystic society, and a battle for control over humanity’s fate is about to begin.
