Scarlet Nexus is an action role-playing game. It was developed by Bandai Namco Studios and Tose and tells the story of protagonists Yuito Sumeragi or Kasane Randall. They are members of the Other Suppression Force (OSF for short). The OSF is a group of elite soldiers that defends humanity and Earth from brain-hungry aliens called the Others. As with many RPGs, a common question among players is exactly how long it takes to complete. In Scarlet Nexus’ case, it’s split into chapters called ‘Phases’. So, how many Phases does Scarlet Nexus have?

How many Phases does Scarlet Nexus have?

Scarlet Nexus has 12 Phases. But there are two characters to play as – Yuito and Kasane. Each have their own full playthrough. So if you want to fully experience both playthroughs, the total number of Phases you’ll have to complete is 24.

Scarlet Nexus release date

When was Scarlet Nexus released? It came out on 25th June 2021 to an above-average reception from critics. Its deep combat system was praised, particularly the psychokinesis elements. Its main story was also received favourably. But the game’s side quests were generally considered to be uninspired and repetitive.

Scarlet Nexus platforms

Seeing as Scarlet Nexus arrived in mid-2021, you might be wondering whether it’s available for current-gen hardware. But we’re pleased to confirm that it is! Scarlet Nexus was released for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.

How long does it take to complete Scarlet Nexus?

Scarlet Nexus is far from the longest game. But if you want to experience everything it has to offer, you’ll need to put in a solid chunk of time. One playthrough – no matter who you choose to play as – will take you between 20 and 30 hours. However, if you want to play through Scarlet Nexus again as the other character, you can expect a similar time investment. Which means you’re looking at anywhere between 40 and 60 hours to complete both its campaigns.
