Soul Matrix
One fan who was able to play the demo describes a previously unrevealed feature called Soul Matrix, a feature where levelling a party member’s Soul Level by deepening bonds with them will unlock levels in a side dungeon, ending with a boss fight which will drop items required to remodel comps.
Soul Hackers 2 will be released for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, and PC in Japan on August 25th, and the West on August 26th, 2022.
