In early May Bandai Namco revealed Scarlet Nexus for Xbox Series X and Xbox One and it has now been confirmed the game will also be coming to PlayStation 5. There’s also a new trailer for the game which you can view below.
Coming from a team of developers that previously worked on the Tales series, Scarlet Nexus is set in a cyberpunk-y “Brain Punk” future world where humans have discovered a psionic hormone, and just in time as well. Here’s more from Bandai Namco.
In Scarlet Nexus, a strange life-form called “Others” appeared from the sky and began to prey on the brains of living creatures on the earth – including humans. In order to fight this new kind of enemy, the “Other Suppression Force” (OSF) was created in the city where brain power has been developed, called New Himuka. The OSF is composed of the only people able to exterminate the Others, blessed with exceedingly powerful “brain power” and considered as true heroes by the population.
Among them, Yuito Sumeragi, a bright and positive-minded recruit with a kind heart. Second son of the prestigious Sumeragi family, his ancestor was the founding father of New Himuka.He endured an intensive training to be able, one day, to help the citizens of his city and rescue them, as he was once saved himself from an Other by a member of the OSF. Since then, he cherishes the ear cuff he received on that memorable day.
An ear-cuff seems a rubbish award for saving a load of people, don’t they have medals in the world of Scarlet Nexus?
Producer Keita Iizuka said, “The next generation of video game home consoles lets the development team realize the full potential of Scarlet Nexus. Players can expect visuals and psychic battles with high resolution and frame rate along with fully interactive real-time battles with dynamic animation.”
