Scarlet Nexus Characters’ Aging Is Stopped

Did you think the Scarlet Nexus characters all looked a bit young? It turns out there is an in-world explanation for that, and it is a little unnerving. Director Kenji Anabuki took to Twitter to explain that Other Suppression Force have their aging halted to make them more effective and powerful fighters.

Here’s his exact quote, in which he noted, “younger the brain, the stronger the Power.”

超脳力は脳が若いほど強いため、怪異討伐軍のメンバーは成長を抑制されています。

見た目と実年齢はマッチしていません。

The younger the brain, the stronger the Power, so OSF are restrained from growing.

Therefore, the appearance and the actual age do not match.#ScarletNexus https://t.co/W1Xgu5aFU6

This would help explain a few things that have already come up as somewhat mysterious, even though we still don’t know everything about the game’s world yet. When more of Scarlet Nexus’ characters profiles were preview session with the game, it came up that Yuito will learn more about the OSF and its goals as you play.

Scarlet Nexus is in development for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC.
