![]() ![]() Iizuka: The game and anime’s storyline follow the same timeline, with a story focusing on both Yuito and Kasane. How closely did the anime’s production team work with the game’s development team? Do the two share the same plot, and if not, should we play the game or watch the anime first? It’s been announced that a Scarlet Nexus anime series will also be coming. We we will be very happy to see players experience both. We introduced Scarlet Nexus as “the story of Yuito’s” because he was the first protagonist we wanted to introduce.Įven if the perspectives of the two protagonists are different, we put a lot of time and effort in order to create a very interconnected story. ![]() Iizuka: The two protagonists element was actually planned from the beginning. Was Kasane always intended to be included as a playable character or did this change later in development? In an interview back in August 2020, it was stated that: “We planned Scarlet Nexus to be Yuito’s story, so you are only able to experience Yuito as the playable character”. There are a couple of save file slots so depending on players’ personal preference, they could choose whether to play the two stories in parallel or one after another. Iizuka: You will not be able to change and play as another protagonist in an existing save file, however you could make a new save to experience the story of the other protagonist without completing one first. Will players be able to go back and replay sections of the game with the other character as they play through it, or is the game designed to be two separate playthroughs, meaning players go through the entire story with one character then go through the entire story again with the other? Players can choose between either Yuito or Kasane, and it appears that each provides a different perspective on the events of the game.

Regarding design, some of our development staff were involved in God Eater in the past and I myself personally love the idea of a futuristic world under threat and dark heroes who control forbidden powers, but I think this is where the similarities end. Players who like this kind of story setting and characters will definitely enjoy Scarlet Nexus. However, we could say that one of the similarity is that, the protagonist and his allies, uses their powerful yet dangerous powers to fight against unknown threats in a near-future world. Iizuka: Scarlet Nexus is a completely independent title with a different world and setting from Code Vein and God Eater so the gameplay and story will be original and different from the two games. Although the plots are unrelated, do you still feel Scarlet Nexus is a natural evolution of what was learned while developing Code Vein and God Eater, or do you believe it’s a completely different type of game? It’s already been said that Scarlet Nexus doesn’t take place in the Code Vein or God Eater universes, but it does appear to have some similarities in terms of the general style and some gameplay mechanics. Your choice only determines the gender of your mute avatar, and the unchosen twin apparently does most of the talking for both of you.We went hands-on with the first few hours last month and thoroughly enjoyed what we played of it, so we had a chat with director Kenji Anabuki and producer Keita Iizuka to get some more details on the game and their general thoughts on the Japanese game development scene, especially during the global pandemic. However, one of the standout differences is the lack of personality in the protagonist of "Astral Chain." Unlike "Scarlet Nexus," the protagonists don't have their own separate storylines. Of course, the two titles differ greatly in plot details and characters. Players swap between Legion with SAS abilities, which is similar to the combat system in "Scarlet Nexus." The Legion represent different weapons like Sword, Arrow, and Axe. In "Astral Chain," humans found out that some of them had the ability to tame Chimeras and turn them into living weapons called Legion. Another similarity lies in the combat systems, which both involve juggling weapons and slashing away at enemies. ![]() Those who enjoy anime aesthetics and cyberpunk-adjacent settings might enjoy "Astral Chain" because it has stylistic similarities to "Scarlet Nexus." After all, both games take place in a futuristic society fighting space invaders.
