On Monday, Bandai Namco revealed a free update being released for anime action-RPGScarlet Nexus. Since launch, Bandai Namco has dropped two DLC packs forScarlet Nexus, each accompanied by a free update. As expected, that new DLC has now been revealed. Introducing Scarlet Nexus' third and final DLC, the Brain Eater Pack.The third DLC forScarlet Nexusmay take some by surprise. The Brain Eater Pack includes the story chapter Episode Karen: Unknown History. This new chapter ofScarlet Nexuswill explore the previously unrevealed side ofantagonist Karen Travers. Players can likely expect the DLC to delve into Karen’s relationships, either with his departed fiancée Alice Ichijo or his younger brother, Luka Travers. Perhaps it’ll go down a different path, instead.RELATED:Scarlet Nexus Update Adds New Feature and Difficulty SettingEpisode Karen: Unknown History, will offer up several new challenges forScarlet Nexusplayers to overcome. Through the completion of these challenges,Scarlet Nexusplayers will unlock four entirely new cutscenes. All that Bandai Namco is willing to say about the cutscenes is that they take place in 1996 and that they’ll recall a “lost history” that only Karen Travers is privy to. Bandai Namco encourages players to completebothScarlet Nexuscampaignsbefore playing this DLC, as it’s spoiler-heavy and reveals the “true motive” behind Karen Travers' actions.
DLC 3 features more than just Episode Karen, of course.Scarlet Nexusplayers who purchase the DLC will also receive two new costume sets, the Guardian Attire Set based on Karen Travers' clothing and the Heir Attire Set which is inspired by the “ancient ethnic costumes” ofScarlet Nexus' world. Both costume sets unlock upon purchase ofScarlet Nexus' DLC 3.
Lastly, there’s a bit more additional content included in DLC 3. First, the Shadow of the Recording mission has been added to theVision Simulator. The enemy within is said to attack the player with an “onslaught” of entirely unfair attacks, but rewards rare attachments for an S-rank completion. There’s also a new plug-in named the Status Ailment Resister will be available from the in-game shop.
