Bandai Namco have released a very long deep dive into Synduality Echo of Ada ahead of the Open Network Test that kicks off tomorrow, check it out.

One of the elements that I got excited for when I saw the news was the offline mode, but don’t get to excited, it is not what you might think. Here is what Yosuke Futami, Producer, Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc. said about the new mode.

One other thing that was revealed today is the game’s solo missions. We included a PvE element for players to be able to learn more about the backstory of Synduality – why the underground city of Amasia collapsed, and the Drifter and Magus that were involved. The single player missions won’t put any player equipment at risk, but likewise you won’t be able to keep any weapons you find. Players will also encounter special enemies and have to manage their resources more in these missions. Find logs and records that together will tell the story of Amasia through cut scenes, audio logs, and more in the full game at launch.

You can learn more about the game on the PlayStation Blog, and access the Open Network Test on your platform of choice, as long as it’s a PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S or PC.

The full game will release on January 23, 2025. Which means there is not a long wait until the full release.
