Dystopian psychokinesis brawler Scarlet Nexus gets new gameplay trailer

Bandai Namco has shared new trailers for its next-gen action-RPG game Scarlet Nexus. The stylish action game is set to launch for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. Watch the game in action here!

Unveiled last, today we finally learn more about Bandai Namco’s intriguing upcoming title Scarlet Nexus. The narrative-focused action game features inventive psycho-kinesis powers alongside more traditional close-quarter brawling and is set in a dystopian future where outer-worldly monsters are threatening human survival.

KINETIC PSYCHIC COMBAT
Using psycho-kinetic abilities, the world around you becomes your greatest 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 that descended from the sky, immune to conventional weapons and defenses. Tormented by the constant pain of their mutation, they seek brains of living organisms to calm their madness.

DISCOVER A BRAIN PUNK FUTURE
Explore and protect a futuristic Japanese landscape that combines inspirations from classic anime and western science fiction.

DEEP STORY DRIVEN EXPERIENCE
Dive into a complex story of bonds, courage and heroism crafted by minds behind the iconic Tales of Vesperia.

It’s up to the player who is catapulted into an elite military force who is able to use psionic abilities. The only weapon that can defeat the threat. The distinct anime aesthetics remind us of Code Vein and the Tales Of games but Scarlet Nexus is promising a very unique blend of combat in a self-titled “Brain Punk” future where humanity has discovered unheard-of capabilities of their brains.

As a cross-gen title, we expect Scarlet Nexus to come out either right at the launch of Sony’s and Microsoft’s new gaming consoles or not too far off. All footage shown to date is from the Xbox One X version and the stylish cyberpunk future of the game is already eye-catching fabulous.
