Bandai Namco has officially announced and previewed an upcoming anime adaptation of their action game Scarlet Nexus in production by animation studio Sunrise.
The PV of the anime briefly showcasing the main cast of characters while giving a look at how the game’s action translates into traditional animation:
Solar calendar year 2020: grotesque organisms called Others have begun eating people. To take down this new enemy, the Other Suppression Force is formed. Saved by this elite team as a child, psychokinetic Yuito withstands the training to enlist. On the other hand, prodigy Kasane was scouted for her abilities. But Kasane’s dreams tell her strange things, dragging the two into an unavoidable fate.
The Scarlet Nexus anime adaptation is set to air sometime this summer season.
The Scarlet Nexus game will launch on June 25th for the Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC.
I need to see a lot more gameplay before I can decide if this game is good or not.
The game looks interesting, but I don’t think I’ll buy it day 1, so I may check out the anime to see if the story is to my liking.
A lot of time anime adapted from game will either be a super abridged ver of the game by zooming past plot points on bullet train speed or ended up doing their own thing and coming up with a new ending/story though. Its really rare to have a good anime adaptation for games since most of the time they are just high (or low) budget ads to get people interested in the source material.
That said, there are several good anime adaptation of games that got me interested in the source material so we will see.
they are going all in with this game
just to bad this game is single player only though
Better than having multiplayer
Yeah, better to have them focus on making a great single player game than make a mediocre multiplayer game. I mean, if you want to play a multiplayer game, just wait for Blue Protocol (same company).
I was actually surprised when I saw this was single player since this is a Bandai Namco game. I feel like about 80% of all their games in recent years have had multiplayer elements.
Too bad Cuckimation got their hands on the anime so I won’t even pirate it.
good
While I’m all for it, I do have to wonder why if the game isn’t out yet? And why this one but not Code Vein?
