Scarlet Nexus promises visceral psionic combat, an exceptional story, and power coordination with your teammates for truly devastating attacks. The game takes place in a futuristic Japan, but states that they’ve pulled inspiration from both western science fiction and some classic anime as well. Kenji Anabuki and Keita Iizuka from the Tales of Vesperia team are leading the charge, and many out there seem to have high expectations for what’s to come.

While the demo version is currently only available for the Xbox, the game plans to release on Xbox, PlayStation and PC. Currently, the game is expected to run on the Xbox Series X|S at 4K and 60FPS, but it has been stated that the game will be Xbox Optimized, which means framerates could be “up to 120FPS” with “unparalleled load times” as per the official Xbox website detailing X|S optimization.
