Atlus has unveiled a comprehensive update for Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army, the highly anticipated supernatural RPG set for release on Nintendo Switch on June 19, 2025.
Returning fans and newcomers alike can expect an expanded demon compendium, newly detailed character profiles, and enhanced progression systems, all meticulously optimized for the modern platform and refined for Switch audiences.
Raidou Remastered revives the beloved Devil Summoner series, with Atlus incorporating a wealth of content that bridges classic Shin Megami Tensei mechanics with contemporary gameplay standards.
Players will guide Raidou Kuzunoha, the twelfth Devil Summoner, as he navigates a rich narrative set against the backdrop of Taisho-era Japan, encountering both familiar and new faces.
**Expanded Character Roster Adds Depth to Narrative**
Atlus has spotlighted key figures essential to the game’s plot.
Kenzo Satake, the respected captain of the Kanto Haguro Family—a prominent yakuza syndicate—stands out for his dedication to community safety.
His deep local ties and broad knowledge make him a valuable ally in Raidou’s investigations.
Sadakichi, portrayed as a laid-back yet complex army deserter, seeks to unveil secret military experiments known as the "Super Soldier Project." His efforts lead him to approach a journalist, Tae, hoping to expose these clandestine activities.
Kiyoshi Daidouji, meanwhile, manages Daidouji Textiles and faces economic strains amidst industrial change, while simultaneously searching for his missing niece, Kaya, and demonstrating a potentially suspicious side.
Antagonistic forces intensify through the appearance of the enigmatic Hell’s Pawns, who abduct Kaya and are closely linked to the military’s covert project.
Additionally, the chilling Red Cape, an infamous figure instilling fear throughout the Capital by way of mysterious attacks and abductions, adds further intrigue to the storyline.
**Over 120 Demons and Enhanced Progression Systems**
The remastered edition significantly enriches its demon roster, featuring more than 120 collectible demons—a notable increase of over 50 compared to the original game.
Many newly added demons make their return from acclaimed titles such as Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs.
King Abaddon and Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance.
This expanded variety offers deeper strategic options and greater replayability.
Raidou’s development has been further emphasized, with players now able to unlock distinct Summoner Skills tied to weapons.
Combat Skills provide advantages in battle, while Sword Skills confer persistent bonuses.
Skills are earned through the game’s Sword Alchemy system and allow for dynamic customization in response to different gameplay challenges.
Players can also optimize their demon allies by teaching them Combat Skills and Passive Skills through a combination of grinding, demon fusion, and skill books.
The mastery of these skills can be accelerated by continuous use and fusion, promoting both strategic planning and experimentation.
A unique loyalty system rewards players for deepening bonds with their demons; as loyalty increases through combat, demons unlock new passive abilities and grant rare materials or useful items.
Loyalty accumulation contributes to the player’s overall Devil Summoner rank, unlocking new titles and increasing the capacity for managing additional demons.
Titles can be swapped at will, offering a personalized touch as players progress through the adventure.
**Launch Details and Availability**
Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army is scheduled for release on Nintendo Switch on June 19, 2025.
The game will be available both digitally through the Nintendo eShop and in physical retail formats.
This launch reflects Atlus’s continued commitment to revitalizing its iconic RPG franchises for a modern audience, ensuring that classic gameplay and storytelling are preserved and enhanced for the current generation.
With significant character depth, an expansive demon catalog, and robust progression mechanics, Raidou Remastered cements its place as a must-play title for Shin Megami Tensei and Devil Summoner enthusiasts, as well as for RPG fans eager for its Switch debut.
