Scarlet Nexus director Kenji Anabuki and producer Keita Iizuka in an interview with Inverse discussed the game and the potential sequel. 

Anabuki said he would be make a sequel to Scarlet Nexus that is more mature than the original.

"If there is a sequel, I would personally want to utilize the 'superpower' theme in areas other than battles," Anabuki said. "The world and settings of the story could potentially be created to suit an even more mature audience; by exploring themes like the dangers of having or using superpowers."

I absolutely loved this game, it’s main downfall I think was just the extremely cliche characters and filler writing. Doubt that’ll get fixed though cause this is Bandai so.

The dungeons in this game were so bad I couldn't even deal with it. This company has a history of bland lifeless dungeons. Which why Arise was such a breath of fresh air.

Biggest disappointment of 2021 for me.

Worst level design I've seen in many many years. Awful main characters (Kasane is an asshole and Yuito is naive as fuck). Recycled enemies everywhere. Fucking backtracking during main story missions in 2021.

Really forced myself to complete it.
