- Underrated action RPG Scarlet Nexus hits its lowest price in new sale - 17 August 2025
In the four years since its release, I don't feel that Scarlet Nexus ever received the recognition it deserved. It combines hack-and-slash combat with telekinetic magic and ties it all together with an engaging narrative. Why it wasn't more popular is beyond me, but I hope the fact that Fanatical has brought it down to its lowest price ever for a few days will encourage some new people to play it.

- Scarlet Nexus 2 could be made for a "more mature audience" - 30 January 2022
It's been over half a year since the release of Scarlet Nexus - the action RPG from the creators of the Tales Of series about a group of superpowered agents - and the director has opened up about a possible sequel to the anime game , suggesting that Scarlet Nexus 2 would be made with a "more mature audience" in mind. Scarlet Nexus launched in June 2021 and, while the action and the superpower use against bizarre enemies was all fun, it was a deeply flawed game . One of the biggest problems was the story and characters and how it was difficult to engage with that side of the game, with a real disconnect between the combat and the non-combat areas. In a new interview with Inverse , game director Kenji Anabuki opened up about "the future for the Scarlet Nexus IP" and a possible sequel - and one thing they want to sort out is that disconnect between the various superpowered adventures and t…
