Scarlet Nexus has been one of those projects that immeditely caught the attention of viewers, when Bandai Namco revealed this new intellectual property a few months back. Players were quick to realise that the game looked like other anime-esque action adventure series like Bayonetta, Code Vein, and NieR: Automata; immediately becoming intrigued.
After the announcement was made, Bandai Namco revealed some details about the upcoming action-adventure title, which gave players a better idea of what to expect from the game in terms of both gameplay and story, although details about the story were rather scarce early on.
As a matter of fact, the developers at Bandai Namco have given players a pretty good idea of what the game is about, but the latest story trailer will give players even more reasons to get excited for Scarlet Nexus; interestingly enough, most of the details are shared in the video's description.
"In the 90’s inspired streets of New Himuka, strange creatures called “Others” ascend from the skies to feed on human brains. Built up with the best combatants, the Others Suppression Force (OSF) was created to counter this threat. Kasane is an orphan who lost her parents in a raid from the Others when she was a child.
Adopted by the powerful Randall Family, she became one of the most promising elements of the OSF after being scouted at 12 years old. Now an elite soldier with superb fighting skills, Kasane masters the power of psychokinesis in combination with her sharpened throwing knives. She joins Yuito Sumeragi as a playable character with her own skills and story.
Born to an elite family part of the country’s governing forces, Yuito grew up with the obsession of becoming a member of the OSF. Having had his life saved by one of its members, he always desired to follow in his footsteps. Both Kasane and Yuito will benefit from the support of party members, such as Gemma Garrison, Luka Travers or Tsugumi Nazar, in order to get rid of the Others threat."
Bandai Namco has revealed that Scarlet Nexus is a next-gen title, but it will also become be available for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. What they haven't revealed, unfortunately, is the game's release date — not even a tentative release window — so we will have to keep waiting for them to reveal more details about the upcoming title.
Every trailer that the develoeprs have revealed for Scarlet Nexus, however, have done a perfect job at getting players excited to know more about the game, and today's story trailer is no exception.
Check it out:
In a far distant future, a psionic hormone was discovered in the human brain, granting people extra-sensory powers and changing the world as we know it. Just as humanity was entering this new era, deranged mutants known as Others began to descend from the sky with a thirst for human brains. Highly resistant to conventional attack methods, extreme measures needed to be taken to battle the overwhelming threat and preserve humanity.
Scarlet Nexus still doesn't have an official release date, but is expected to launch for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC.
