Scarlet Nexus is a Japanese action role-playing franchise built around “brain punk” — a future where humans have traded ordinary life for psionic abilities, where brains are harvested, and where the Otherkin descend to feed on the minds of the gifted. Soldiers of the Other Suppression Force wield psychokinesis, telekinesis and blades of blood-red psychokinesis to hold the line against extinction.

The series is developed and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. Its first game, released in 2021, follows two playable characters, Yuito Sumeragi and Kasane Randall, whose separate campaigns thread through the same war and the same unraveling truth. Known for its fast, telekinetic combat, its striking anime-influenced art direction and its companion-bonding system, Scarlet Nexus went on to inspire an anime adaptation and other spin-off media.
