Action RPG ‘Scarlet Nexus’ Debuts Opening Animation With Music by The Oral Cigarettes

Bandai Namco released the opening animation for their action-adventure RPG Scarlet Nexus coming to PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC-via Steam on June 25, 2021.

The video features music from the Japanese rock band The Oral Cigarettes and their song “Dream in Drive.” Further, viewers get the chance to see some pretty cool anime fights with the characters, similar to what God Eater has put together in the past where we get to see each character for a brief moment.

Scarlet Nexus is set in the distant future where a psionic hormone has been discovered in the human brain. This leads to people gaining extra-sensory powers and thus changing the world. Humanity entered a new era, but deranged mutants known as Others begin to descend from the sky with a hunger for human brains.

These enemies aren’t affected by mortal weapons, and so humanity is forced to rely on those with abilities to save the world. Players take on the role of Yuito Sumerage to uncover the mysteries of a Brain Punk future that is caught between technology and psychic abilities.
