Atlus has unveiled exciting new insights into the character roster, demons, and progression mechanics for RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of The Soulless Army. Set to launch on June 19, 2025, for multiple platforms including PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Steam, and Xbox Series X|S, this supernatural RPG promises to feature over 120 demons, incorporating familiar appearances from titles such as Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon™ and Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance™.
Character Introductions
Among the game’s characters is Kenzo Satake, a young leader of the Kanto Haguro yakuza who is deeply committed to maintaining peace in his community. His extensive connections and respect for Raidou position him as a vital ally throughout the game’s narrative.
Sadakichi is portrayed as an enigmatic army private who becomes a fugitive after abandoning his military post. Haunted by the secrets of the “Super Soldier Project,” he seeks to expose the truth with the help of a journalist named Tae.
Kiyoshi Daidouji, the younger brother of the Daidouji family head and the uncle of the missing Kaya, grapples with the struggles of managing a textile business while showing a questionable concern regarding his niece’s disappearance.
Kaya’s kidnapping links her to Hell’s Pawns, powerful and grotesque figures related to Munakata’s project. A mysterious being known as Red Cape adds further tension, with reports of abductions and attacks circulating in the Capital.
Gameplay Mechanics
Players can expect a significant upgrade in gameplay with more than 50 new demons joining the roster, allowing for enhanced summoning skills. These skills are divided into Combat Skills, which are useful in battles, and Sword Skills, which provide passive advantages during gameplay. Crafting and equipping various weapons unlock these abilities.
The game encourages strategic customization of skill sets tailored to different enemy types, allowing players to switch Combat Skills during encounters for tactical benefits. Weapon variety is improved through a system called Sword Alchemy, unlocking more Summoner Skills and options for demon customization. Demons can acquire skills through combat, fusion, or skill books, with possibilities for skill upgrades through repeated use.
Central to the experience is demon loyalty; as trust builds through battles alongside Raidou, demons unlock exclusive skills and materials. The player’s overall loyalty level influences their standing as a Devil Summoner, unlocking new titles that expand their roster and offer further customization opportunities.
RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of The Soulless Army is currently available for pre-order, with further announcements regarding the Nintendo Switch 2 version yet to come.
