With the popularity of the "Goddess Disharmony" series in recent years, Atles has begun plans to gradually revive the old IP. "Reincarnation of the Real Goddess 5", which was launched on the Switch platform at the end of last year, is the new work of the series after 8 years. In just half a year, sales volume exceeded 1 million units, which undoubtedly gave the senior management of Atlus great confidence. Pursuing victory is the iron law of the business world. I originally thought their next "thaw" IP would be "Demon Survivor" (after all, the animation has been adapted and gained some popularity). Unexpectedly, Atlus didn't play according to common sense and went to the bottom of the box to find the soul hacker. You should know that the previous work of this series, "Demon Summoner: Soul Hacker", was released 25 years ago and belongs to the derivative IP of the Goddess Reincarnation series.

Even if it is ported to the 3DS version, the sales volume is less than 100,000, and there is no basic fan disk for the real goddess's reincarnation. But after careful consideration, we can understand Atlus' decision. After all, topics such as " cyberpunk ", " virtual reality ", and " artificial intelligence ", which have been widely discussed from time to time in the past decade are quite consistent with the world view wavelength of the "Soul Hacker" series. This is a good time to rejuvenate this long-hidden IP.

In the family tree of the goddess reincarnation series, the goddess reincarnation and the real goddess reincarnation of the core story have always followed the path of "the melee of gods and demons". The up-and-coming series "The Story of the Monster" incorporates incredible events into a vibrant campus life, while the highlight of "Soul Hacker" is the combination of "Devil Summoning" as a combination of fantasy and "virtual" as a science fiction. For example, the plot of the new work "Soul Hacker 2" is about two girls Lin Ling and Feige splitting out of the "Eternal Tower" of super intelligent artificial life, and together with the demon summoner who died regretfully but was resurrected by the soul, preventing the destruction of the world.
