posted on by Alex Mateo
Closed network test registration open until September 3

Bandai Namco Entertainment America began streaming a new "Choose Your Path" trailer for its Synduality Echo of Ada game, and it reveals that the game will have a Closed Network Test on September 13-16 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. Registrations are open until September 3.

The closed network test will feature enhanced gameplay, more customization parts, AI Magus companions, upgraded combat abilities, balance changes, and more.

The game had a closed beta test that ran from March 28-April 1. The game is scheduled for release on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, but there is no release date yet.

Sony describes the game:

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 for humans, and humanity fled from the danger. As means for survival, the humans then build an underground haven; Amasia. In this new built dystopian city, on 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.

The game is part of Bandai Namco Filmworks, and Bandai Spirits' Synduality project, which includes a television anime. The second cours (quarter of a year) premiered on the TV Tokyo, TV Osaka, TV Aichi, TV Setouchi, TV Hokkaido, and TV Q Kyuushuu channels on January 8. Disney+ exclusively streamed the second cours starting on January 9 in Japan.

The anime's first cours premiered in July 2023. Disney+ streamed the anime exclusively worldwide as it aired in Japan. Hulu streamed the anime in the U.S.

While the game is set in the year 2222, the anime is set 20 years after in 2242.
