Scarlet Nexus Also Coming for PS5, PS4 & Steam on Top of Xbox Series X & Xbox One, Bandai Namco Announces

Bandai Namco Entertainment just announced that Scarlet Nexus won’t come just for Xbox Series X and Xbox One as announced yesterday.

Today’s announcement clarifies via press release that the game will also be released on PS5, PS4, and PC via Steam.

Here’s how Bandai Namco describes Scarlet Nexus.

“In the far distant future, a psionic hormone has been discovered in the human brain, granting people extra-sensory powers and changing the world as we know it.

As humanity enters this new era, deranged mutants known as Others begin to descend from the sky with a hunger for human brains. Impervious to conventional weapons, those with acute extra-sensory abilities, known as psychics, are our only chance to fight the onslaught from above and preserve humanity.

Since that fateful day psychics have been scouted for their talents and recruited to the Other Suppression Force, humanity’s last line of defense.

Players will dive into a complex story of bonds, courage and heroism crafted by the minds behind the iconic TALES OF game, TALES OF VESPERIA. Using psycho-kinetic powers, the world becomes an important ally. Lift, break, and hurl pieces of the environment to build attack combos and lay waste to enemies.”

Producer Keita Iizuka accompanied the news with a comment.

“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.

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.”

We also get one from senior brand manager Stephen Akana:

“SCARLET NEXUS aims to change the way gamers view Japanese RPGs with a powerful futuristic aesthetic as well as a streamlined combat system that balances fast-paced action with strategic planning

Led by an extremely talented team at BANDAI NAMCO Studios, including members from fan-favorite title TALES OF VESPERIA, SCARLET NEXUS combines years of game development experience with the excitement and creative freedom of the power behind the next generation of home console systems.
