Xbox to Release a Sequel to a Cult Classic from the Nintendo Switch

On April 2, 2025, Nintendo had a big reveal during their Switch 2 Direct event—a thrilling new game called Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion. This title stands as the sequel to the 2019 cult hit on the original Switch, promising to ramp up the mecha anime action with its stylish and intense gameplay.

Interestingly, Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion isn’t just a treat for Nintendo Switch 2 users. It’s expanding its horizons, launching not only on the Switch 2 but also on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam. Mark your calendars for September 5, 2025, when you can dive into this adventure across multiple platforms.

So, what exactly is Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion all about? Set in a world caught in a desperate struggle, players take on the role of a mercenary hired to help humanity in its seemingly losing battle against the ruthless Sovereign Axiom. But wait, there’s more. You’re also tasked with fighting against terrifying alien creatures known as Immortals, who seem to have their own agenda to wreak havoc.

In this game, your greatest asset is the Arsenal—a fearsome mech suit stacked with an array of destructive weaponry. As you embark on your mission, you’ll navigate an alien world, accept mercenary contracts, upgrade your gear, and face off against waves of enemies and colossal bosses in exhilarating high-speed skirmishes.

The beauty of Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion lies in its customization options. Whether you dream of being a lightning-fast melee whirlwind or a heavy-duty juggernaut equipped with overwhelming firepower, the game offers flexibility. As you progress, you earn parts and gear to tweak your Arsenal, tailoring it to fit your combat style. Customization extends to aesthetics, too. Personalize your mech’s appearance with different paint jobs and decals without affecting its battle readiness.

Are you prepared to confront the formidable Immortals and challenge the might of the Sovereign Axiom? This game is an invitation to something extraordinary. Personally, I didn’t get to experience the original Daemon X Machina, but the trailer for Titanic Scion was nothing short of a revelation. It draws clear inspiration from the Armored Core series by FromSoftware, but injected with a dose of vibrant anime flair. The combat promises excitement and depth, while the mech customization and artistic style are sure to catch the eye.

The big question is whether this game can match—or even surpass—titles like Armored Core 6 in the mecha action genre. We’ll have to wait and see when Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion makes its debut across platforms on September 5, 2025.
