■ New elements based on community feedback
To show our appreciation to all players who love and have been supporting SCARLET NEXUS, we have decided to add both elements that were closely contested in the Twitter poll we conducted on the official SCARLET NEXUS Twitter accounts, into the free update!
This includes the addition of a “Very Hard” difficulty mode – a new challenge for those who think SCARLET NEXUS is too easy and wants a more challenging gameplay experience! Players can now face-off enemies with even more powerful attacks.
New support plug-ins have also been included in this free update, for players who feel like the game is still too hard even in the “Easy” difficulty mode, and those who would like to experience the story without all the effort needed to defeat strong enemies. Players would just have to update their game and retrieve the plug-ins in Shop for free!
■ New free challenges
Get extremely rare rewards by clearing the newly added challenges, only if you can! Stand a chance to win weapons and powerful plug-ins that are exclusive to those who have cleared these challenges.
