Bandai Namco Entertainment Asia is pleased to announce SYNDUALITY, a new game that is part of a recently announced transmedia Sci-fi franchise —developed by Game Studio. SYNDUALITY is a Sci-fi Shooter set in a dystopian futuristic world where humans and AI must co-exist and cooperate to survive. The game will be released on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and STEAM in 2023.

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.

In the game, players will step in 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 provide direction, hints, and warning. At the same time, they will be developing and strengthening the bond between player and AI.

Gameplay and combat in SYNDUALITY centres around Cradle Coffins, armed vehicles in which the players will be roaming on the surface and can fully personalise, 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.
