An augmented reality feature has also been announced to be in development for the game, and will be added after launch. This will allow the player to summon demons in the real world, using a smartphone camera. Something more than just summoning demons is also planned.

Development
At a Sega smartphone 2017 event, Sega presented Dx2 Shin Megami Tensei: Liberation (alongside three other new games set for release in 2018: Kyoto Kotoba RPG Kotodaman, Wonder Gravity: Pino to Juryoku Tsukai, and Pro Soccer Club: o Tsukurou! Road to World).
At the presentation, producer Riichiro Yamada appeared, stating that there have been wishes for the game worldwide, and not just in Japan.
Currently, the game has reached a state of debugging and adjustment, being tested in-house by 200-300 people.
