News: Another big game has arrived on Microsoft’s popular service allowing you to play one of the newer action-RPG games on the platform.

Bandai Namco has revealed that the critically-acclaimed action-RPG Scarlet Nexus has been added to the product lineup on Xbox Game Pass for Console, Xbox Game Pass for PC, and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, and is now available on Windows 10 PC. The Windows 10 version of Scarlet Nexus supports Xbox Play Anywhere and the Xbox Game Pass version supports Cloud gaming on mobile devices.

To celebrate the arrival of Scarlet Nexus on Xbox Game Pass and Windows 10 PC, Bandai Namco has revealed a brand-new trailer (see below). New paid and free DLC for Scarlet Nexus has also been announced today. The Bond Enhancement Pack 1 includes new fairy tale themed costumes and weapons designed by character designer and illustrator Yusuke Kozaki, along with an expansion of the bond system with new interactions between party members as well as a new action – Crush Vision – which decrease the Crush Gauge of surrounding enemies while Brain Crush is activated. The free Ver.1.04 update will include a wide variety of new content including Challenges, new Plugins in the Shop, Brain Talk expansion, and new in-battle voices. Both paid DLC and the free update will be available soon.

In the far distant future where Scarlet Nexus takes place, humanity has entered a new era where a psionic hormone has been discovered in the human brain which grants extra sensory powers. Meanwhile, mysterious deranged mutants known as the Others, descend from the sky hellbent on devouring human brains. The Others are impervious to conventional weapons and there seems little that humanity can do to withstand the onslaught. Humans with extra sensory abilities, known as Psychics, are recruited to the Other Suppression Force, as humanity’s last line of defense.

Scarlet Nexus is now available for the Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows 10 PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC via Steam. Check out the trailers below and tell us what you think.
