Slated to release on June 25 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X\/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, Bandai Namco is inviting players to the distant future where a psionic hormone has awakened in people, giving them superhero-like powers.<\/p>\n<p>Bandai Namco today released the opening cinematic that players will see when they first boot up the game. While the sequence begins with still-frame snapshots set to the pounding beats of Japanese rock band <em>The Oral Cigarettes<\/em>, it quickly transitions to a fully-animated battle that is absolutely stunning. It also shows off some of the unique abilities that the psionic hormone grants to people.<\/p>\n<p>Your eyes into Scarlet Nexus&#8217; world can either be Yuito Sumeragi or Kasane Randall. Both characters are wildly different in style and their stories unfold in unique ways, meaning you&#8217;ll need to complete Starlet Nexus twice to unlock the full storyline. Each character has their own skill tree and approaches. Yuito wields a sword for close-range attacks, whereas Kasane uses a kunai for long-range blasts. Combat for both is fast paced and encourages the player to study their surroundings for items that can help them. An item could be as large as a car, which can be hurled at the alien foes that want to harvest and eat human brains.<\/p>\n<p>Developed by several team members that made the excellent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/video-feature\/new-gameplay-today\/2019\/01\/11\/new-gameplay-today-tales-of-vesperia-definitive-edition\">Tales of Vesperia<\/a> RPG, Scarlet Nexus is a game we can&#8217;t wait to get our hands on.
