To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Raidou Kuzunoha series, ATLUS has released a new illustration for RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of The Soulless Army and shared a message from director and producer Kazuyuki Yamai.
You can read the full message from director/producer Yamai below:
To our Valued Gamers
Thank you for your continued support of the Raidou Series.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the release of the very first Raidou game.
20 Years!
Through the development of RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army, released last year, I was reminded of one thing: The Raidou series holds a special place as a work that brings tremendous courage to us. (With care to avoid spoilers, I’ll try my best to explain.)
In the game, we encounter people from the Capital who endure societal inequity brought on by rapid changes in the era. Over time, these individuals are able to confront their true selves. Meeting these unforgettable characters once again for the first time in 20 years left me with immense courage. Above all, the unwavering Raidou Kuzunoha, who tirelessly helps struggle-worn citizens of the Capital, deeply moved me-even as someone who has had the honor of crafting this story.
When the times grow tougher, we find ourselves relying on Raidou Kuzunoha more than ever.
How does the present day, marking the 95th anniversary since Taisho 20 compare?
I genuinely hope that Raidou continues his heroic efforts, transcending the ages.
(P.S.): If you haven’t played the game yet, we encourage you to try the downloadable demo!

What’s more, to celebrate the anniversary, ATLUS is teaming up with SuperGroupies to launch new merchandise, and there will be a “Raidou VS Megaten Live Concert” event. Both the merchandise and event have been confirmed for summer 2026, with more details to follow at a later date.
Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of The Soulless Army is available now for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. Final Weapon reviewed Raidou Remastered and gave it a 4.5/5 score, noting that the the game is “a nearly perfect remaster that sets the standard for RPG remasters due to its breadth of features and quality of life improvements over its original game.”
