SEGA and Atlus Release Raidou Remastered Demo on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2

SEGA and Atlus have once again energized the role-playing game community by launching a surprise demo for Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army.

Available now on the Nintendo Switch eShop, this demo supports both the Nintendo Switch and the new-generation Switch 2, delivering fans early access to one of the platform’s most anticipated remasters. The new demo, which went live at 9pm PST on November 4 (midnight EST and 5am BST on November 5), gives players the opportunity to explore up to Episode 2 of this reimagined action RPG.

Importantly, SEGA and Atlus have confirmed that all demo progress seamlessly carries over to the full game.

This approach provides a risk-free, hands-on experience for those considering a purchase, as players won't have to replay completed sections when transitioning from the demo to the main release.

the Soulless Army.

The remaster breathes new life into the Devil Summoner series—a beloved spin-off from Atlus’s acclaimed Megami Tensei franchise.

The revitalized release boasts fully upgraded visuals and reworked combat mechanics, complete with full voice acting, improved fast travel, the ability to save anywhere, and other quality-of-life updates aimed at enriching the player experience. Since its original launch on June 19, 2025, for Switch 2, Raidou Remastered has been praised by critics for its faithful yet modernized take on a forgotten classic.

Reviewers highlighted the remaster’s thoughtful updates to the original gameplay and presentation, though some noted visual limitations and relatively simplistic combat compared to contemporary standards. By providing an accessible demo on both the current and next-generation Nintendo hardware, SEGA and Atlus reinforce their commitment to long-time fans while inviting newcomers to discover the roots of the Devil Summoner saga.

With full progress transfer to the main game, this demo on the Nintendo eShop stands out as an ideal way for RPG enthusiasts to experience Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army before committing to the full adventure. Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army is available now for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2.
