Japanese media outlets have gone up with the first hands-on previews of the SYNDUALITY: Echo of Ada demo playable at Tokyo Game Show 2023, which include new gameplay footage and screenshots.

Previews are available at the following links: Dengeki Online, Famitsu, Gamer.ne.jp, GAME Watch, and PlayStation Blog Japan.

Here is an overview of the game, via Bandai Namco:

SYNDUALITY: Echo of Ada takes place in 2222, years after a mysterious poisonous rain called “The Tears of the New Moon” wiped out most of humanity and birthed deformed creatures that now hunt the population. Amidst the calamity, humans build an underground haven named Amasia, where they discover and begin to collaborate with forms of artificial intelligence called Magus.
In the game, players will step into the shoes of the Drifters, people who make a living collecting AO crystals, a rare resource available on Earth. In this quest they must face xenomorphic creatures known as Enders, while counting on Magus, their AI partners, to guide them through their journey, help them in fights, and provide directions, hints, and warnings.
All the while, they will be developing and strengthening the bond between player and AI. Gameplay and combat in SYNDUALITY: Echo of Ada centers around Cradle Coffins, armed vehicles in which players can fully control and personalize, from appearance to weapon loadouts, to fit their own playstyle. Players can also join other Drifters online to either help them in their missions or hinder their progress by fighting to loot their precious resources.

SYNDUALITY: Echo of Ada will be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam. A release date has not been announced.
