Scarlet Nexus for PS5, Xbox Series X, PS4, Xbox One, & PC Reveals its Anime-Style Gameplay

Today, during the IGN Summer of Gaming event 2020, Bandai Namco showcased the gameplay of its upcoming JRPG Scarlet Nexus. 

Not only we get to see what the game looks like, but we hear from game director Kenji Anabuki and producer Keita Iizuka, who provided a few more tidbits of information of what we can expect.

You can check the video out below.

If you’re unfamiliar with the game, 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.”
