Bandai Namco Entertainment, Bandai Namco Filmworks, and Bandai Spirits announced a sci-fi project titled Synduality on Tuesday, which includes a game and a television anime. The companies also revealed the main cast and a teaser visual for the anime (pictured).

Cast
Noir: Aoi Koga (Princess Principal)
Ciel: Nagisa Aoyama (Love Live! Superstar!!)
Schnee: M.A.O (Mao Ichimichi) (Princess Connect! Re:Dive)

Developed by Bandai Namco Entertainment, the third-person shooter game will be released on Playstation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC in 2023.

Game Synopsis
The year is 2222. It has been years since Tears of the New Moon, a mysterious rain, poured and wiped out almost the entire human race. The poisonous rain gave birth to deformed creatures devouring humans, and humanity fled from the danger. As means for survival, the humans then build an underground haven; Amasia. In this newly built dystopian city, in a pursuit of maintaining their existence, they run into an Artificial Intelligence named Magus. Not knowing how things will work between them, the story of how Humans and AI coinciding and trying to find their truths begin. (Source: PlayStation.Blog, edited)

Do the Japanese have some kind of fetish for characters fighting badly written mobs?

If it is only cute girls, and no male characters in this I will give it a chance

Big stupid robots or so-called Mecha and Yuri often go well together IMO

Ehh idk about this, a video game adaptation of a game that hasnt come out yet does not sound like a good idea.

Why? Most of these projects are created to promote new games and their target audience does not even try to hide their low requirements, being ready to watch anything for the sake of cute girls and fanservice. It's like calling it a bad idea to cook fast food from fatty and tasty but unhealthy food.

@EcchiGodMamster

Someday ecchi fans will stop thinking that any all-female content is trying to fool them by pretending to be yuri or ecchi, but we won't live to see that far away.

That's interesting, I just looked up the game trailer and the white haired girl is obviously voiced by Yui Ishikawa. I wonder if they're doing different VAs for the anime or if those are different characters.

I would have never guessed that after seeing this game during the State of Play, it would have also gotten an anime lol

I was lukewarm on the game itself but I may enjoy it more as an anime

If I had seen the trailer before the announcement, then I would have thought that this is a new part of NIER.

meh. idk about this one.

Guess it's expected cause it's Bandai Namco but they did the same thing with Scarlet Nexus and look how that anime turned out.

I'm just gonna go out on limb here and say that hopefully Synduality, as a game, will be good.

The mecha design is very westernesque, while it's not bad at all (in fact it's low A tier, which is great), it's obvious that it's being marketed primarily to the west.

Their official website is entirely in English, although the official YouTube channel is in Japanese. I think it's obvious, since Bandai is something like Japanese Disney.

Bruh,at least it doesnt take me 12 episodes to eat a cheeseburger, im not the type of person to watch hours of a below par anime just because it has cute girls.Mcdonalds chicken nuggets actually slap tho .

A hackneyed theme that won't sell either the game or the anime in the end. I'm not talking about the plot, but about the distribution model as such.
May be some anime?

I'm not really a gamer, but the anime looks like it could be interesting.
