The Scarlet Nexus Demo is Available Now for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S

Have you ever wondered what the future would look like if humanity developed superhuman powers? Dream of joining an elite crew to confront an onslaught of hideous monstrosities that threaten world peace? Well, wait no further, as the demo for Scarlet Nexus has landed for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, ready to give you an interactive glimpse of the epic that is yet to come. What’s even better, Xbox players have 7 days of exclusive early access! Not familiar with Scarlet Nexus and want to know more? I thought you’d never ask!

Scarlet Nexus takes place in a country known as New Himuka, set in a distant future where technology and psychic abilities have evolved in tandem with humanity. People exhibit abilities that are obvious, like pyrokinesis where you control fire, as well as more complex abilities, like clairvoyance: the precognitive ability to see what is hidden before you.

For hundreds of years, fierce monsters known as “Others” have descended from the skies, terrorizing life on Earth with their insatiable desire for brains. To counter the scourge, the Other Suppression Force (or OSF) was formed as a last line of defense, utilizing psychic abilities in conjunction with traditional weaponry and battle tactics.

In the game Scarlet Nexus, you can take on the role of either Yuito Sumeragi, the young, enthusiastic recruit from a prestigious family or Kasane Randall, the stoic psionic who graduated top of her class. Each story playthrough takes place during the same point in time, though experienced through the eyes of separate heroes. Additionally, both Yuito and Kasane exhibit different gameplay, where Yuito’s attacks and skill tree focuses on close combat and recovery, whereas Kasane is a mid-range attacker with early skill unlocks focusing on dexterity and agility.

There will be some shared experiences and locations and some unique to each character, giving players a rich understanding of both the core story as well as the cast of characters in this new JRPG.

In the demo, both Yuito and Kasane’s initial gameplay can be experienced. This will be an excellent entry point into the lore of Scarlet Nexus and a taste of what is to come for our heroes. Be sure to try out both story paths and save your gameplay, as you will be able to unlock some cool cosmetic items and plug-in enhancements to help you in your adventures in the full game.

What was their perspective on the events as the unfolded? What secrets are revealed once you start your second play? Answers to these questions and more await you in Scarlet Nexus, landing on June 25. Can’t wait to become an OSF recruit? Then pre-order now to receive free costume and cosmetic item DLC bonuses like the Special Battle Attire Set -Audio- and the Additional Attachment Set “Shoulder Baki (11)”!

As humanity entered this new era, deranged mutants known as Others began to descend from the sky with a hunger for human brains. Highly resistant to conventional attack methods, extreme measures needed to be taken to battle the overwhelming threat and preserve humanity. Those with acute extra-sensory abilities, known as psionics, were our only chance to fight the onslaught from above. Since then, psionics have been scouted for their talents and recruited to the Other Suppression Force (OSF), humanity’s last line of defense.
