Bandai Namco Entertainment Asia has announced the release of a new RPG franchise titled, Scarlet Nexus. The franchise is developed by Bandai Namco Studios and lead by former members of Bandai Namco Entertainment‘s Tales of series.

This new RPG franchise was announced for the Xbox Series X, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC via Steam.

The game puts you in the shoes of psycho-kinetic Yuito Sumeragi. You’ll be exploring the futuristic City of New Himuka and uncover the mysteries of a Brain Punk future caught between technology and psychic abilities.

Here’s also the short plot of the series:

In the far distant future, 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 psychics, were our only chance to fight the onslaught from above and preserve humanity. Since then, psychics have been scouted for their talents and recruited to the Other Suppression Force, humanity’s last line of defense.

Players are expected to dive into a complex story of bonds, courage and heroism from the team of Tales of Vesperia.

The next generation of video game home consoles lets the development team realize the full potential of Scarlet Nexus, players can expect visuals and psychic battles with high resolution and frame rate along with fully interactive real-time battles with dynamic animation. Utilizing Smart Delivery on Xbox Series X also means players can enjoy the best version of Scarlet Nexus regardless of whether they are playing on the next generation with Xbox Series X or Xbox One.
