SEGA president Haruki Satomi and CFO Koichi Fukazawa recently discussed sales of Soul Hackers 2 in Sega Sammy’s fiscal year 2023 second quarter briefing, revealing that the game sold below expectations.
Soul Hackers 2 is struggling to reach sales expectations according to SEGA, but the company believes the title can expand its sales through updates. The Soul Hackers 2 development team at ATLUS also developed Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE and the Encore re-release, two games that also underperformed.
The Q&A excerpt is available below via Persona Central:
Q: Please tell us how you evaluate the situation of new titles released in Q2.
A: Although “Soul Hackers 2” is currently struggling to reach the expected sales level, we believe that it is a title that can be sold over the long term, so we will continue to update the game in the future with the aim to expand sales.
“Two Point Campus” is compatible with multiple platforms, including subscription services, and has achieved a record number of users and user evaluations, however the sales volume is weaker than expected. We will aim to expand sales in the same way because of the game’s high quality and the high user feedback.
Soul Hackers 2 is available now for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Lastly, check out our review of Soul Hackers 2 for PS5 here.
