Announced for the Xbox Series X yesterday at Inside Xbox's third-party gameplay reveal, it was unclear whether or not Bandai Namco's Scarlet Nexus was exclusive to the next-gen platform. Thankfully, it has now been confirmed that the anime-style title will also be coming to PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4.
Business Wire of all places broke the news, where the game is described as a "complex story of bonds, courage and heroism" from some of the minds behind Tales of Vesperia. "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." Scarlet Nexus producer Keita Iizuka said that the next-gen game will sport high frame rates, resolutions, and a streamlined combat system.
Scarlet Nexus was definitely one of yesterday's biggest reveals, so it's nice to have confirmation that we'll be able to play the game on PS5 and PS4. Do you like the look of this one? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Bandai Namco has a strong lineup such as Elden Ring, Tales of Arise and Scarlet Nexus.
Yay, that’s good news! I would have got it on PC otherwise but this looks like a great game to play on TV and Tales of Vesperia is brilliant so it’s got good pedigree.
It just wouldn't have made sense otherwise. I get that to rid themselves of all that stigma of "not having exclusives and/or japanese ones at that", you have to get said games.
But with Xbox doing so poorly in japan, and most of the Japanese 3rd party not selling as good as on other platforms either. It wouldve just hurt the game more honestly. Definitely interested more but will wait for the ps5 version
Not really interested, it just looked like GodHad to me.
I'm more interested in Tales of Arise, since we went through this gen without a current gen Tales game. By the way things are going seems like they're keeping their trend of releasing a last-gen game on current gen.
This was the only new game in that whole stream that really caught my attention and as i have yet to decide which next gen system i will get first it's nice to know no matter which one it is i can play this on it

"Bandai Namco has a strong lineup such as Elden Ring, Tales of Arise and Scarlet Nexus"
yeah, looking pretty good. Have all 3 on my list
I'm really liking the visual art style here. Hoping that this game will be great.
It looks pretty neat. I have to ask though, did anyone really wonder if this would actually be on Playstation too?
Doesn't surprise me. Even with Microsoft's help, I can't imagine any Japanese developers would be stupid enough to make an xbox exclusive.
@nessisonett I loved the Japanese trailer when it was announced for the 360. It was quite a shock when i heard it was not coming for PS3.
@Flaming_Kaiser I have to admit I only played it recently with the remaster. I liked the characters in Project X Zone and went looking only to find out it was exclusive to Xbox 360 over here. I really recommend it though.
@Jaz007 well when the official website is only showing xbox one and series x then yeah it gets you wondering
Glad to see we’re getting a PlayStation release.
@Jaz007 Tales of Vesperia only got an Xbox 360 release in the west last gen so it’s not impossible for Microsoft to buy exclusives on this type of game. Would be very expensive though as most of the market would have one of the Japanese consoles not the Xbox.
I don’t think it looks very good personally, but nice to have platforms confirmed.
@nessisonett I have but my backlog is killing me. Thats why i hate liveservice game i dont have time as it is. 😆
Great! It was obvious that this was coming to PlayStation, otherwise it wouldn't sell much being only on Xbox lol.
N.i.c.e. it looks pretty 😎 cool.word ☝ up son
Reminds me strongly of Astral Chain, just different colour palette and no chain, but telekinesis can take its place. I agree with @get2sammyb, doesn't look very good, choppy in places and rough around the edges but they have time. If combat is fun, I could be in.
Yeah, I was coming here to say it remindes me a lot of Astral Chain (not that that's a bad thing), but it looks like I was beat to the punch.
Is it by the same team that did God Eater or Code Vein?
If it's made by the same team behind Cod Vein and God Eater count me out.
Not surprised. MS can only keep it for one day exclusive.
@Mitsui Thanks. The art direction reminded me of those two games.
I love anime themed video games, gives me strong Astral Chain and Code Vein vibes.
