Scarlet Nexus has shipped 2 million units worldwide as of June 2026, and director Kenji Anabuki has maintained a 2,000-day personal social media promotion streak for the game.
Bandai Namco's Scarlet Nexus, a new IP launched in June 2021, has reached 2 million cumulative shipments and digital sales worldwide as of June 2026. The milestone was announced alongside a sale offering approximately 80% off on Steam and Xbox storefronts, suggesting deep discounts helped sustain long-term sales for the action RPG.
A month later, in July 2026, Game Spark published a feature re-examining the game on its 5th anniversary. The piece highlights the psychokinetic action system, where players lift and throw objects like cars and steel beams in combat. It also notes director Kenji Anabuki's 2,000 consecutive days of social media promotion for the game, an unusual personal effort that has kept the title in public view.
The two stories together show a game that has maintained steady commercial performance and editorial interest half a decade after release, driven by its distinctive combat mechanics and the director's sustained engagement with fans.
