From Bandai Namco comes the newly announced SYNDUALITY, a new game that is part of a recently announced transmedia sci-fi franchise. It’s coming to Xbox, PlayStation and PC.
Developed by Game Studio. SYNDUALITY is a sci-fi shooter which is set in a dystopian futuristic world; one in which humans and AI must co-exist, cooperating to survive. The game will be released on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
SYNDUALITY takes place in 2222, years after a mysterious poisonous rain called “The Tears of the New Moon” wiped out most of humanity and birthed deformed creatures that now hunt the population. Amidst the calamity, humans are forced to build an underground haven named Amasia, where they discover and begin to collaborate with forms of artificial intelligence called Magus.
“SYNDUALITY is a project we can’t wait for players to put their hands on,” said Yosuke Futami, Producer at Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc. “We have been working with famous designers such as Neco for character design and Ippei Gyoubu for mechanical design, as well as the team at Game Studio to develop a fun shooter with strong core gameplay and a unique focus on the relationship between AI and human, where the bond that develops between players and their Magus impacts game play and story.”
When SYNDUALITY comes players will step into the shoes of the Drifters, people who make a living collecting AO crystals, a rare resource available on Earth. In this quest they must face xenomorphic creatures known as Enders, and they will be able to count on Magus, their AI partners, to guide them through their journey, help them in fights, and providing direction, hints, and warning. All the while you will be developing and strengthening the bond between player and AI.
You’ll probably want to know about the gameplay and combat in SYNDUALITY too and this centers around Cradle Coffins, armed vehicles in which the players will be roaming on the surface and can fully personalize, from appearance to weapon loadouts, to fit their own playstyle. SYNDUALITY will also have multiplayer, with other Drifters joining players to help them in their missions or turn against them, hindering their progress or fighting to loot their precious resources.
