First announced for both PS5 and PS4 around a year ago, Scarlet Nexus is a promising looking action RPG from Bandai Namco. We've seen plenty of gameplay footage over the last last few months, and now the title's been given a release date: the 25th June, 2021.
Scarlet Nexus appears to share DNA with a number of other games. God Eater is probably one of the closest comparisons in terms of story structure, but there's certainly a bit of Devil May Cry in the mix as well when it comes to combat. It's shaping up to be a slick and stylish action title.
A quick rundown from the official press release: "Featuring a dual story, begin your adventure with either Yuito Sumeragi, an energetic recruit from a prestigious political family, or Kasane Randall, the mysterious scout whose power and skill has gained great notoriety among the OSF. As their different experiences interweave with each other, it is only then that you will reveal the full story and unlock all the mysteries of Scarlet Nexus caught between technology and psychic abilities." We're hoping for a colourful cast of characters and some intruiging plot points.

As a Tales of Fan Im very excited for it
Cool been waiting for more info on this games.definetly getting it.word up son
Looks promising but as usual I’m trying to not feel as hyped since it’s a Namco Bandai production. Yes, I’m looking at you, Jump Force.
Looks amazing so far but just hope it doesn't have the difficulty style of code vein
First, God Eater 3. Then Code Vein and now Scarlet Nexus. I really wish these games managed to have a bit more different artstyle. But with more or less bland stages and background, and extremely similar character design, they are almost indistinguishable.
You could tell me this was Code Vein 2 and I wouldn't blink an eye (witch would be great, I liked Code Vein very much, but I'd love to see more artistic diversity in anime-like action games).
would love to know how this performs on a base PS4. definitely want this game, but may have to hold off for whenever i spring for the PS5.
Enemy design in this one is just super weird
Strange I can't seem to preorder it anywhere. Apart from ps store and amazon
HYPE, nice to finally have a confirmed release date! Game looks promising from everything I have seen, but still waiting a few years for $20 sale.

@KidBoruto I'm actually in the UK. Nice share though
@johnny30 My bad, should have looked at your profile page first!
Hope you can find physical UK preorders outside of Amazon.
