Scarlet Nexus from Bandai Namco for Xbox

Perhaps the one oddity presentation wise in Inside Xbox is Scarlet Nexus from Bandai Namco, a more anime-esque RPG to be available on Xbox One and Xbox Series X. Here’s the trailer:

Here’s Will Tuttle’s write up on the game on Xbox Wire:

On today’s episode of Inside Xbox, Bandai Namco announced a new RPG franchise that’s coming to Xbox Series X and Xbox One. Called Scarlet Nexus, the game will be developed by Bandai Namco Studios and lead by former members of the team that developed the acclaimed Tales of series, including the iconic Tales of Vesperia.

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