Brains over brawn.
Bandai Namco’s action-RPGScarlet Nexusis set for the summer, and today we got some new looks at what it will look like to smack enemies around with your brain powers while playing as its protagonists.
In the first cut, Yuito takes on a big enemy called the “Slippy Chinery” by using Pyrokinesis on it. Like I’ve always said, when in doubt, fire is probably the way forward.
And while Yuito can do plenty of rad-looking slams and mind attacks, fellow controllable character Kasane can also use telekinesis, taking out groups of monsters (called “Others”) at a time.
Bandai Namco has been slowly trickling out Nexusleading up to its June 25 launch date, includinglooks at some of its massive battlesand the gameplay outside of those scraps too. It’s got a fantastic look to it, and after the success of other stylized action games likeAstral Chain, maybe this is a next-gen mind-masher to look out for.
Scarlet Nexuscomes to PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on June 04, 2025.
