Following the reveals at Tokyo Game Show, the western arm of Bandai Namco released the English story trailer of its upcoming JRPG Scarlet Nexus.
We get a look at new characters and we hear their English voice actors for the first time. On top of that, we also take a look at Kasane Randall, who is the second playable character on top of the originally-revealed male hero Yuito.
You check it 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.”
If you’d like to see more of Scarlet Nexus, you can check out the previous promotional video, the original trailer, a gallery of screenshots, and another gameplay showcase presented by director Kenji Anabuki and producer Keita Iizuka, more screenshots, and a video featuring the theme song.
Of course, you should also read my own preview from a few weeks ago.
The game is coming for PS5, Xbox Series X, PS4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam.
