INVESTIGATE THE END OF THE WORLD Amidst the glimmer of futuristic Japan, a digital hivemind has calculated an imminent apocalypse. Ringo, an agent of Aion, must investigate to stop the butterfly effect and save the fate of humanity.

世界の終焉(オワリ)を破却(ハック)しろ 21世紀中頃、今より少し未来の物語。超常の力｢悪魔｣を従え、闇の社会に生きる者、悪魔召喚師（デビルサマナー）。彼らは人知れず暗躍し、社会を裏から守り、支えていた。そして、世界を見守るもうひとつの存在｢Aion（アイオン）｣。テクノロジーの最果てから生まれ人智を超えたこの存在は、ある時世界の滅びを検知する。Aionのリンゴとフィグは、滅びを回避するために人の世界へと降り立つことに。滅び回避に必要とされるふたりの人物の保護に向かうも、どちらもすでに殺されていた。リンゴはAionの持つ特殊な能力｢ソウルハック｣を実行、対象の蘇生を果たす。｢再度のチャンス｣を与えられ、死への後悔を糧に蘇生したデビルサマナーたちと手を結び、リンゴとフィグは、世界の未来を賭けた謎を追う。果たして破滅の危機を回避することが出来るのか⸺？

Hack the end of the world A story set in the mid-21st century, some time in the near future. Devil summoners, those who command the supernatural power of "demons", have been living in the world of darkness. They have been maneuvering unbeknownst to humanity and defending society from behind the scenes. And there is another presence that watches over the world: "Aion". This entity, born from the bleeding edge of technology, surpassing human intellect, one day detects the fall of the world. In order to avoid ruin, Ringo and Figue of Aion descend upon the human world. They head towards the two persons whose protection is necessary to avoiding ruin, but both have already been killed. Ringo uses a unique power held by Aion, the "Soul Hack", to revive the target. Given a "second chance" using their regrets at death as fuel for revival, the devil summoners join forces with Ringo and Figue to pursue a mystery with the future of the world at stake. Can they avert the crisis of ruin⸺?

세계의 종언(끝)을 저지(해킹)하라 21세기 중반 무렵, 지금보다 조금 미래의 이야기. 초상의 힘 「악마」를 따라, 어둠의 세계를 살아가는 자, 악마 소환사 (데빌 서머너). 그들은 은밀하게 암약하여 어둠으로부터 사회를 지키고 있었다. 그리고, 세계를 지켜보는 또 하나의 존재 「Aion (아이온)」. 테크놀로지의 극지에서 태어난 인지를 초월한 이 존재는 어느 날 세계의 멸망을 감지한다. Aion인 링고와 피그는 멸망을 막기 위해 인간 세계로 오게 된다. 멸망 회피에 필요한 두 명의 인물을 보호하기 위해 향하지만, 두 명 다 벌써 살해당해 있었다. 링고는 Aion이 가진 특수 능력 「소울 해킹」을 실행, 대상을 소생시킨다. 「다시 기회」를 얻어 죽음에 대한 후회를 양식으로 소생한 데빌 서머너들과 손을 잡고 링고와 피그는 세계의 미래를 건 수수께끼를 쫓는다. 과연 파멸의 위기를 회피할 수 있을 것인가⸺?

Unlike previous Devil Summoner titles, characters do not fight alongside their demons in Soul Hackers 2. In this game, summoning works differently, dubbed by Ringo as "Aion-enhanced summoning," and demons are equipped by characters directly, which affects their stats, skill list, and resistances.
