Uitgever Bandai Namco heeft tijdens de recente Inside Xbox-presentatie een gloednieuwe game aangekondigd genaamd Scarlet Nexus. De game is alleen aangekondigd voor de Xbox One en de Xbox Series X.
De gameplay is fast pased melee combat waarbij de hoofdpersoon ook nog eens beschikt over psychische krachten. De artstyle van de game lijkt heel erg op die van Anime-series.
Hieronder de eerste officiële beschrijving van de game via de uitgever en de onthullingstrailer.
Scarlet Nexus takes place in the far distant future, where a psionic hormone was discovered in the human brain, granting people extra-sensory powers and changed the world as we knew it. As humanity entered this new era, deranged mutants known as Others began to descend from the sky with a hunger for human brains. Impervious to conventional weapons, those with acute extra-sensory abilities, known as psionics, were our only chance to fight the onslaught from above and preserve humanity. Since then, psionics have been scouted for their talents and recruited to the Other Suppression Force, humanity’s last line of defense.
In Scarlet Nexus, players will take on the role of Yuito Sumeragi, armed with a talent in psycho-kinesis, and explore the futuristic city of New Himuka and uncover the mysteries of a Brain Punk future caught between technology and physic abilities. With these 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.
UPDATE: De game komt ook naar de PS4, PS5 en de PC, zegt een woordvoerder van Bandai Namco.
