Hot on the heels of announcing Tekken 8 as well as Tales of Symphonia coming to Nintendo Switch, Bandai Namco revealed a new, sci-fi action game called Synduality during PlayStation's September State of Play presentation. The new title from Bandai Namco will be released on next-gen consoles and PC sometime in 2023. The game is set in a dystopian world in the year 2222 where humanity and artificial intelligence must co-exist and cooperate in order to survive.
Synduality's post-apocalyptic world is a common trope in video games and presents itself as a dystopian future after a poisonous rain has wiped out most of mankind and created deformed creatures that now hunt people and devour them viciously. Humans head deep underground and create a safe haven for themselves called Amasia and discover a rare artificial intelligence called Magus. Players play as Drifters, which are people that collect AO crystals (a rare resource found on Earth) and ride around the hostile environment in their mechs called Cradle Coffins, which are completely customizable.
