Bandai Namco has released a new official trailer during the Gamescom 2020: Opening Night Live stream pre-show for Scarlet Nexus that details the characters Kasane, Hanabi, Nagi, and Fubuki.
Scarlet Nexus will launch on PS5, PS4, and PC, in addition to Xbox Series X and Xbox One.
A mysterious woman Yuito meets while fighting an Other. She has a cool, cold attitude, but her face resembles that of an OSF soldier that saved Yuito’s life as a child. She also seems to be an OSF soldier…
Yuito’s cheerful and energetic childhood friend. While she originally attended the same general school as Yuito, she was scouted by the OSF and transferred to a training school, after which she officially enlisted and reunited with Yuito in the same new recruit class.
A good-natured young man, joker, and mood maker. He has known Yuito since training school, where they went through rigorous training together as volunteers for the OSF. Despite knowing Yuito’s lineage, he treats him as if he were any other person, and now calls him his close friend.
The commander of the 1st Regiment of the OSF Army, essentially the superior officer in the field. He has many fangirls in the general public thanks to his beautiful appearance and responsiveness. He is one of the “Septentrions,” seven members of the OSF with particularly outstanding ability.
SAS SYstem
Fight while borrowing the superpowers of your party members. You can also trigger multiple superpowers at once. Today, we get a look at Hanabi’s pyrokinesis.
Drive System
A special attack that can be activated by building up the gauge. It increases physical ability, allowing you to unleash more powerful psychokinesis actions. However, activating the Drive System comes at a cost.
The former developers of the Tales of series are developing Scarlet Nexus. Keita Iizuka, producer of Code Vein, is producing the game.
Players become the protagonist, Yuito Sumeragi, and use psycho-kinetic abilities to fight the Others.
The game's setting is "a futuristic Japanese landscape that combines inspirations from classic anime and western science fiction."
Producer, Keita Iizuka from BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Inc said, “Players can expect visuals and psychic battles with high resolution and frame rate along with fully interactive real-time battles with dynamic animation. Utilizing Smart Delivery on Xbox Series X also means players can enjoy the best version of SCARLET NEXUS regardless of whether they are playing on the next generation with Xbox Series X or Xbox One.”
Bandai Namco describes the game's story as:
In a far distant future, a psionic hormone was discovered in the human brain, granting people extra-sensory powers and changing the world as we know it. Just as humanity was entering this new era, deranged mutants known as Others began to descend from the sky with a thirst for human brains. Highly resistant to conventional attack methods, extreme measures needed to be taken to battle the overwhelming threat and preserve humanity. Those with acute extra-sensory abilities, known as psionics, were our chance to fight the onslaught from above. To this day, psionics have been scouted for their talents and recruited to the Other Suppression Force (OSF), humanity's last line of defense.
