The release of Atlus’s newest game Soul Hackers 2 is just around the corner, and today they announced a slew of DLC that will be available upon the game’s launch, including a full bonus story, in a new trailer.
Atlus games are known for their costume packs that pull inspiration from their previous games, and Soul Hackers 2 is no different. Players can deck their party members out in outfits from Persona 4, Persona 5, Shin Megami Tensei IV, or, in true Atlus fashion, fashionable swimsuits.

Finally, free DLC will be available to everyone. This includes the addition of a Very Hard difficulty and a “Useful Item Set.”
