Atlus is finally growing up. The Japanese studio has made a name for itself as the premier developer of anime-inspired RPGs with a modern setting, most notably the Persona and Shin Megami Tensei series. Its games usually feature a group of impeccably stylish high school students out to save the world. In the studio’s upcoming game, Soul Hackers 2, you’ll play as a group of impeccably stylish adults out to save the world. Yes, this means you can go to bars. But the gameplay impact of this choice goes a bit further than you might expect at first glance, and some Atlus diehards will have mixed feelings about that.
