Cadets, prepare to deploy! Scarlet Nexus is available today, June 25 on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. We’re excited to share the experience of the Scarlet Nexus universe and the stories of our two protagonists, Yuito Kisaragi and Kasane Randall. As the new cadets of the OSF, you will lead a small team of psionically gifted allies as you tackle The Others: monstrous lifeforms that threaten the people.

In addition to showcasing the game’s anime-inspired visuals in native 4K at 60 FPS, Scarlet Nexus utilizes the PS5’s DualSense controller to add a more realistic, physical dimension to your gameplay. You will feel each of Yuito and Kasane’s psychokinetic actions amplified by the enhanced sensations of the DualSense controller haptics. The movement of each psychokinetically manipulated object is amplified with haptic vibrations, and lifting objects responds with dynamic tension in the adaptive triggers to simulate the sensation of weight and resistance in real life.

As we want to share the most optimal experience of Scarlet Nexus with you, owners of Scarlet Nexus on PS4 will receive a free upgrade to the PS5 digital version.  

To help you on your journey on Scarlet Nexus, we created this brief tips and tricks guide. From here, learn about the Struggle Arms System (SAS), bonding with allies, The Others, and more. Hopefully, these tips will help you on your journey with Yuito and Kasane.

The Struggle Arms System (SAS)

• Unite with Your Fellow Allies: By combining your powers with allies through the SAS, you can take down stronger enemies, hit their weaknesses, or avoid certain attacks. You have a limited time to borrow their power so use it wisely. Don’t worry too much as it will recharge over time.
• Finding Secrets: You will find glowing objects such as walls, doors, or devices that draw your attention. If you use the appropriate SAS, something may happen. 

Bonding with Allies

• Better Friendship, Stronger Support: As the bond level with your ally increases, allies will more proactively engage in support actions such as healing and reviving.
