Rumor: Classic Devil Summoner Games Could Be Making a Comeback

Key Takeaways

  • Atlus potentially leaked plans for remasters of Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha games on Steam.
  • Recent updates hint at a remastered collection of the Devil Summoner duology.
  • Fans speculate Atlus could announce the Raidou Kuzunoha HD Collection at Tokyo Game Show 2024.

As an avid gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, this news about a potential remastered collection for the classic Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha games has me absolutely thrilled! Atlus’ Shin Megami Tensei franchise has always been close to my heart, and the Devil Summoner subseries is no exception.


It appears that there may be plans unveiled by Atlus on Steam for remasters of two beloved games from the Shin Megami Tensei series, specifically the Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha game duology. The Shin Megami Tensei franchise, developed by Atlus, is known for its expansive range, encompassing numerous role-playing game formats and spin-offs throughout the years. This diversity has led to the creation of several subseries, such as Devil Summoner, Persona, and Devil Survivor, among others.

Recently, Atlus has been making a significant effort to bring their classic titles to modern platforms, showcased by the HD port of Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne, Catherine: Full Body, and several G-Mode Archive releases such as Majin Tensei: Blind Thinker and Megami Tensei Gaiden: Last Bible. As a fan, I’ve been eagerly waiting for more obscure Atlus games to be re-released, including the Devil Summoner series. Encouraging signs from Atlus suggest that this subseries could make a return, potentially with remasters of two beloved Devil Summoner games as an initial step.

This update was first spotted by Warrue on Twitter, who noticed a random update to the Steam version of Shin Megami Tensei 3: Nocturne HD Remaster on SteamDB. This update was made to the Steam achievements of the game, which were applied and then reverted on September 10. The achievements refer to things not in SMT3, such as the character of Raiho being recruited, who only appears in the Devil Summoner series. As such, it appears Atlus has plans to release a remastered collection of the Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha duology, which is comprised of Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army and its sequel Shin Megami Tensei Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon.

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha HD Collection Could Be Coming Next

The character “Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha” initially appeared on the PlayStation 2 in 2006, setting it apart from previous installments in the “Shin Megami Tensei” series as a real-time action role-playing game. Its immediate successor, titled “Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon“, followed in 2008, although it saw a very restricted release in North America. Both games were made available for download on the PlayStation Network as PS2 Classics titles in 2014, but there has been no re-release since then. The latest game in the “Devil Summoner” series is 2022’s “Soul Hackers 2“.

At the Tokyo Game Show 2024, Sega will be in attendance, and there are three upcoming games listed on their website that haven’t been announced yet. So, it’s plausible that during this event, Atlus and Sega might unveil a remastered collection of the Raidou Kuzunoha series, though this is just speculation at this point. Fans should stay tuned for further official updates.
