This was announced a few months ago for PS4/PS5/Steam worldwide, and the Xbox version was announced today. This is the third Idea Factory game for Xbox Series X|S so I guess the Neptunia games were successful, they were also both Xbox Play Anywhere so maybe Scar-Lead will be as well.

PlayStation and Steam versions release May 29th, Xbox is Fall 2025. Physical copy available here:

【About Scar-Lead Salvation】
When Willow Martin awakens with no memories in an unfamiliar room, she can't figure out how she got there.

Without any semblance of who she is or where she came from, can she trust the AI who aids her? Or is it her enemy?

So begins her deadly battles against mechanical weapons in a bid to escape. But what truths lie at the end?

【Scar-Lead Salvation Key Features】
Live. Die. Repeat. – Death may seem inevitable as you progress through the story, but it's not the end. With each death you'll resurrect where it all started—and maybe learn a little about what happened here in the process. Escape this loop and discover the truth about the military facility and Willow's past!

Expect the Unexpected – You'll never know what comes next as you make your way through the military facility. Each floor will present a procedurally generated layout complete with new enemies to face and equipment to grab.

Fully Armed and Operational – You'll encounter a veritable armada of mechanical foes in the mysterious military facility. Use a variety of weapons, take advantage of status effects, and power up with unique skills to take them down.

Unlimited Power! – Dodge and parry enemy attacks with precision to build up Exo Force. When enough Exo Force is built up, unleash your ultimate power with Onslaught Mode and become temporarily invincible.

So this is out now and it's Xbox Play Anywhere (Xbox Series X|S and PC). It's also half the price of the PS5 version so that's nice.

It looks like an anime Returnal-lite, curious if anyone here played it yet.


*The game also launched on the JP Xbox store at full price (¥8,580 which is the same for JP PS5). There is no indication that it’s a promotional discount in the US, maybe $30 is a pricing error?
