Sadly, the answer is no. Soul Hackers 2 has been announced for PlayStation, Steam, and for the first time, Xbox — but there is no mention of the Nintendo Switch anywhere. This is a little shocking to some, as Shin Megami Tensei V was the fastest selling SMT title for Nintendo hardware, selling over 800,000 units since it’s launch in November.
Soul Hackers 2 will launch on (almost) all platforms August 25th, 2022.
