Atlus has announced the first major update for Soul Hackers 2, which was released on August 26th worldwide for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, and PC. It’s out in early November and adds four new Demons and new functions like Dash. The latter increases Ringo’s movement speed in both dungeons and field areas.
Due to the new Dash function, the “Assassin’s Stride” Summoner Skill will now make the player “undetectable to enemies” for a fixed distance. Another new feature is High-Speed Battle Mode which increases the overall speed of battles. One can switch between Normal and High-Speed mode on the fly.
In terms of fixes, the frequency of enemies appearing in dungeons has been “adjusted.” Furthermore, fast-traveling to a shop from the City Map will now transport you inside. Load times should also be quicker due to adjusting the “Termination Processing” of loading screen tips. Check out the full notes below (translation via Gematsu) for more details.
