Scarlet Nexus: a sci-fi RPG coming to Xbox One and Xbox Series X from Bandai Namco



SCARLET NEXUS is a fantastic game about the far future. The artwork is impressive here. It would be great to see more games like this on Xbox.

In a far distant future, humanity’s last hope falls into the hands of an elite group of psionic soldiers, who battle an invincible threat known as, Others. Unravel the mysteries of a Brain Punk future caught between technology and psychic abilities in, SCARLET NEXUS.

Xbox has some pretty interesting upcoming games. Bandai Namco announced Scarlet Nexus for Xbox One and Xbox Series X.

Scarlet Nexus is a sci-fi RPG from Bandai Namco Studios. It is in the works for Xbox Series X and Xbox One.

Hard work and development efforts are being led by former members of the team that brought you Tales of Vesperia.

The fascinating game has great graphics and story-lines. The game takes place in a far distant beautiful future where a psionic hormone found in the brain has granted folks extra-sensory powers ushering in a new era for humans.

Dangerous mutants (known as Others) have a "thirst for human brains." They have mysteriously appeared in the city. They are resistant to "conventional attack methods."

Many weapons and tactics are used to combat the threat of these mutants. The Other Suppression Force was formed and its members use their newfound extra-sensory abilities to fight the dangerous Others.

In the interesting gameplay, you play as new recruit Yuito Sumeragi, whose goal is to become an elite psionic. Yuito’s talent lies in psycho-kinesis. You will be exploring the city of New Himuka and uncovering the "mysteries of a Brain Punk future caught between technology and psychic abilities."

Here are the main interesting key features of the game:

Kinetic Psychic Combat: Using psycho-kinetic abilities, the world around you becomes your greatest effective weapon. Lift, break and throw pieces of your environment to build your attack combos and lay waste to your enemies.

Exterminate the Others: Deranged mutants have descended from the sky. They are highly resistant to conventional attack methods and defenses. Tormented by the constant pain of their mutation, they seek brains of living organisms for nutrition and to calm their madness.

Discover a Brain Punk future: Explore and protect a futuristic Japanese landscape that combines inspirations from beautiful classic anime and western science fiction.

Deep Story Driven Experience: Dive into a complex enjoyable story of bonds, courage, and heroism crafted by minds behind the iconic Tales of Vesperia.

Scarlet Nexus will utilize Smart Delivery when it releases for Xbox Series X.

Scarlet Nexus definitely looks pretty interesting. It is a fantastic futuristic city with spaceships. Music sounds pleasant. Mutants have a "thirst for human brains" - you got that right. They wouldn't appreciate the time and reading effort it takes to actually get a smart brain. Mutants would eat a brain quickly, but that doesn't make them any smarter.

Weird flower monsters have crooked legs and wear red high heels. There are also some animal monsters in there (like dogs and bears). The interesting sword fighting characters are created in beautiful colorful artwork.

Set in a distant and visually vibrant city of New Himuka, Scarlet Nexus throws you into a futurist Japanese landscape inspired as much by western science fiction as it is classic anime.

Many are waiting for this game to come out. Many people want to try the entertaining game-play. The release date of Scarlet Nexus is currently unknown. However, it is likely to be in 2021. Currently, If you attempt to pre-order the game from your preferred vendor, the release date says "December 31, 2021." That's a placeholder, however, it does provide some insight that release is well into the future.
