'''''Devil Summoner''''' is a series in the [[Megami Tensei (Franchise)|''Megami Tensei'' franchise]]. Its first game, {{Link|Game|DeSum}} released for the Sega Saturn in 1995, was initially a spin-off in the {{Link|Series|SMT-}}. The game subsequently expanded into a series of its own with several self-contained titles and media.

==Sub-Series==
Two entries in the overall ''Devil Summoner'' series were expanded into their own sub-series.
===''Soul Hackers''===
{{Link|Game|SH1}} is the second entry in the ''Devil Summoner'' series, originally released for the Sega Saturn in 1997. While the game did not initially spawn a sub-series, it was overtime followed by a two novel adaptations and mobile games based on this particular entry. ''Soul Hackers'' was established as a proper sub-series with the release of {{Link|Game|SH2}} in 2022, 25 years after the original game's release, which the game's developers intended to be part of a new series.<ref>{{Cite Interview|quote=|translquote='''Hirata:''' This is the first completely new game in the series in 25 years. It is more of a reboot than a sequel, and we are putting all of our effort into it.

The ''Soul Hackers'' sub-series is set in a futuristic, technologically-advanced setting, in contrast to other ''Megami Tensei'' games which tend to be closer to modern, present-day settings.
===''Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha''===
The ''Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha'' sub-series of games centers on [[Raidou Kuzunoha XIV]], a detective and Devil Summoner active during the [[Wikipedia:Taishō era|Taishō era]] of Japan. The sub-series began with {{Link|Game|DSRK1}}, the third entry in the overall ''Devil Summoner'' series, released for the PlayStation 2 in 2006. The game was subsequently followed with a [[Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon|sequel]] in 2008 along with a few adaptations, including a novel, a two-part audio drama series, and a manga series.
Distinct from other ''Devil Summoner'' and ''Megami Tensei'' games, the ''Raidou Kuzunoha'' games feature action-oriented, real-time battles as opposed to turn-based as in other games.
