Hirata went on to say that the most recent patch for Soul Hackers 2 was created to solve pacing difficulties that the game faced at launch. This contains a dash function, a quicker fighting pace, and other enhancements to the quality of life. Hirata made an offhand remark about Shin Megami Tensei 5 and Soul Hackers 2 being in development at around the same time, adding that the work was taking place at a desk next to him. He also said that “another title” was being worked on on the opposite side of him, albeit the name of this game is presently unknown.
Some fans assume that the unidentified game stated by Hirata is the speculated Persona 6 or possibly Project Re: Fantasy, while others dismiss this theory since they are all created by separate Atlus subsidiary companies. Despite the fact that Soul Hackers 2 sold below expectations, there will be other free upgrades after this one, with Atlus and Sega hopeful that the improvements and enhancements would help increase sales.
