Soul Hackers 2 costume packs price and how to upgrade
The Soul Hackers 2 costume packs include themed costumes from other Atlus properties. This will be sold separately and is also included in the Soul Hackers 2 DLC bundle.
How to buy Soul Hackers 2 DLC
The DLC will be sold separately as listed on the Steam page. There is also a complete bundle on Steam. As of now, pre-order bonus will not be sold separately. Hopefully Atlus does sell it later for those who got the physical edition on console.
Soul Hackers 2 pre-order bonus
The Soul Hackers 2 pre-order bonus is the Persona 5 Alternative Set 2 for digital orders. This is not available in the physical edition. Check out a screenshot from the costumes included in it from my Steam Deck above.
Soul Hackers 2 Booster Item Pack DLC – how to enable the DLC
The Soul Hackers 2 Booster Item Pack allows items to drop from battles to help you earn in-game currency, boost stats and grant EXP. It usually grants you at least one of each item once you toggle the sliders to “apply” the DLC. You can disable this at any time if you don’t want to get the bonus items. It is a much more straightforward implementation than the exp/money DLC in Shin Megami Tensei V.
Soul Hackers 2 Bonus Story Arc: The Lost Numbers DLC details
Atlus’ new trailer detailed the Soul Hackers 2 Bonus Story Arc: The Lost Numbers. This includes “The Lost Numbers” bonus story arc and new dungeon featuring a new character called Nana. New quests will be available as you progress the game from level 10 to level 99. The DLC also includes the Yatagai Training Center. You can tackle these quests when you want. The quests also have voice acting.
Soul Hackers 2 – How to start the Lost Numbers story quest DLC?
You need to go to Club Cretaceous in Soul Hackers 2 and accept the DLC quest “Rumors of a Summoner”. This begins the Lost Numbers Story Arc quest chain in Soul Hackers 2. This will progress and have higher ideal level requirements and rewards as the story progresses.
Soul Hackers 2 Bonus Demon Pack DLC details
The Soul Hackers 2 Bonus Demon Pack grants access to eight powerful bonus demons, such as Mara and Masakado. The other demons included are Nemissa, Satan, Armati, Anahita, and more. You can summon them from the compendium for free once after buying the DLC. They are also unlocked for fusion if you own the DLC.
How to use Soul Hackers 2 Bonus Demon Pack DLC demons
Once you have claimed the DLC or it has shown up as activated when you boot up the game, you need to have unlocked Cirque du Goumaden in the Roppo Realm. This is where you can summon, register, and fuse demons. If you own the demon DLC, you will be able to summon the demons once for free from the compendium. You also unlock them for fusion if you own the DLC. Check out a few of the demons from the DLC pack below.
Soul Hackers 2 Costume and BGM Pack DLC details
The Soul Hackers 2 Costume and BGM Pack adds six themed outfits for your party, battle BGM, and accessories, including many from other ATLUS series. This costume and BGM pack includes costumes and music from Devil SUmmoner: Soul Hacker, Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha, Persona 5, Persona 4, and Shin Megami Tensei IV. There is also swimsuit DLC.
How to change costumes in Soul Hackers 2 with DLC
Once you have redeemed any DLC code or bought an edition with DLC, you will need to claim it at the safehouse. Once you do this, you can change the costume from the summoner part of the menu.
Soul Hackers 2 DLC Bundle details
The Soul Hackers 2 DLC bundle includes all the currently listed DLC. It is priced at $39.99. Check it out here on Steam. It will also be available on console. Note that this does not include the Digital Premium-exclusive content.
Can you upgrade to the Soul Hackers 2 Digital Deluxe Edition or Soul Hackers 2 Digital Premium Edition?
You can upgrade from the standard edition by purchasing the DLC bundle linked above, but will not get the Digital Premium Edition-exclusive content that is currently not scheduled to be sold separately. If this changes, I will update this guide.
Soul Hackers 2 25th Anniversary Edition
The Soul Hackers 2 25th Anniversary Edition for Asia and Japan only includes the following:
- Soul Hackers 2
- Digital pre-order Persona 5 Alternative Set 2
- Soul Hackers 2 25th Anniversary Music Album – arranged by Atlus Sound Team and Monaca with 30 songs
- Soul Hackers 2 25th Anniversary Book – 100 pages of art from the 25-year history
- Special Outfit DLC – Mary’s Maid Set – Dress the protagonist up as Mary
- Bonus Demon: Ai-ho
Soul Hackers 2 Collector’s Edition
The Soul Hackers 2 Collector’s Edition is seemingly exclusive to Shop Atlus. It includes the game, a figure, SteelBook, USB soundtrack, keychain, box, and more. This is delayed, but people who ordered it get the game on launch, but the rest will be shipped later.
Soul Hackers 2 Physical Launch Edition pre-order
Launch editions for North America at GameStop, Amazon, and Best Buy include premium character cards for PS5, PS4, and Xbox. The European release also has the character cards.
It is going to be interesting to see how the Soul Hackers 2 Collector’s Edition orders go on Atlus’ official store after the delay that is similar to the complete mess of the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Special Edition from Nintendo.
Soul Hackers 2 releases on August 26 for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam.
