Konami has announced Rhapsody in Scarlet, a stylish new action‑adventure set in 1920s New York, blending fast‑paced magick combat, mystical beasts, and the vibrant sounds of the Jazz Age. It is coming to PS5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam.
Players step into the role of Ellie Myers, a young magus and aspiring jazz singer, who becomes entangled in a mafia conspiracy threatening the city and beyond.
Rhapsody in Scarlet – Magick Meets Mystical Beasts
Combat in Rhapsody in Scarlet combines magick and beast abilities, letting players chain stylish combos, switch beasts mid‑battle, and command the battlefield with close‑range, long‑range, and area‑of‑effect attacks. Creativity and timing are key to overwhelming enemies.
Step Into the Jazz Age
The game recreates the culture and atmosphere of 1920s New York, from its architecture and nightlife to its jazz‑inspired soundtrack. A swing‑infused theme song, “Cool/Hot,” performed by SOIL & “PIMP” SESSIONS with Emi Meyer, sets the tone for Ellie’s journey.
