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――? |

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.
