Evaluation
SCARLET NEXUS launched on June 24, 2021 and received a planned post-launch content cycle that has since concluded. The developer announced three paid DLC packs via a Season Pass, and all three were delivered: Bond Enhancement Pack 1 (November 16, 2021), Bond Enhancement Pack 2 (December 14, 2021), and Brain Eater Pack (February 8, 2022). The February 2022 news post explicitly described the Brain Eater Pack as the "3rd and final DLC of the Season Pass," marking the end of the planned paid content program. The last free update of substance, Ver.1.08, shipped on March 30, 2022, adding a new difficulty mode and a Tales of Arise crossover. All seven DLC listings on the store are marked as released with no unreleased items remaining. The developer's most recent communication was a 5th Anniversary celebration post on June 24, 2026, which featured commemorative artwork but announced no new content. With all Season Pass content delivered, no unreleased DLC on the store, and no developer statements about future content, the game is complete.

About this game
In the far distant future, 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. 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.
Featuring a dual story, begin your adventure with either Yuito Sumeragi, an energetic recruit from a prestigious political family or Kasane Randall, the mysterious scout whose power and skill has gained great notoriety among the OSF. As their different experiences interweave with each other, it is only then that you will reveal the full story and unlock all the mysteries of a Brain Punk future caught between technology and psychic abilities in SCARLET NEXUS.
Kinetic Psychic Combat – Using psycho-kinetic abilities, the world around you becomes your greatest weapon. Lift, break and throw pieces of your environment to build your attack combos and lay waste to your enemies.
Exterminate the Others – Deranged mutants that descended from the sky, highly resistant to conventional attack methods and defenses. Tormented by the constant pain of their mutation, they seek brains of living organisms to calm their madness.
Discover a Brain Punk future – Explore and protect a futuristic Japanese landscape that combines inspirations from classic anime and western science fiction.
A Dual Story Experience – Dive into a complex story of bonds, courage and heroism, crafted by minds behind the iconic Tales of Vesperia.
