Marvelous has shown off more footage of Titanic Scion, a new entry in the Daemon X Machina series, during today's Nintendo Direct.
Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion sees players taking to battle in their customisable 'Arsenal' mech and engaging in "fast-paced combat" as they "freely explore a deadly and dangerous open world on land or in the air."
Created and produced by Kenichiro Tsukuda and featuring mechanical designs from Shoji Kawamori, Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion is coming to Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows PC on September 5, 2025.
Here's some more PR:
A Titanic Evolution - Daemon X Machina’s high-octane armored action debuts on a new generation of platforms, bringing with it an epic sci-fi adventure, gameplay that’s accessible to newcomers, and an expanded scope sure to satisfy returning fans.
Build a Better You - Now a nimble suit of armor, your Arsenal can be fully customized both in design and in loadout, with the ability to craft or salvage new elements.
Together You Can Make a Difference - Cooperative and asynchronous multiplayer means you never truly fight alone. Team up with friends online to tackle the epic story and battles together.
Beautiful and Deadly - Explore an alien planet in your Arsenal as you battle against mechanical and organic enemies. Trek through the vast open world on foot, fly through the skies, or when all else fails, gallop on horseback across plains, swamps, mountains, and more.

A brand new third party game that is releasing for the Switch 2 at the same time as for the other consoles instead of 3 year late? Pfff, boring.
Now stop distracting me and let me purchase my pre-order for that Hogwarts Legacy game, thank you.
Is this a new IP?
Excited for it on that basis.
And it looks great. How’s the ‘x’ pronounced?
So many questions in my overwhelmed brain.
@Matt-e-r It’s a sequel to a Switch exclusive. Not a brand new IP, but not that old in the grand scheme of things.
@Matt-e-r
It is a sequel of an early Switch game (later ported to pc) from 2019.
Didn't exactly play the first one yet on Switch so I may had to try that one first before jumping on this one.
I honestly had forgotten the first one existed. I don't even know if it was good. This looks cool, tho, ngl
@Matt-e-r I think it's "ex", like in deus ex machina
First one's story was butt, but it was fun, looked nice, had great music, and a decently fun co-op.
I managed to snag a copy of the first game recently. Was getting hard to find at a decent price.
This one looks pretty epic. When the trailer first started I thought it was a sequel to Vanquish, the mech suit has a similar aesthetic to the one from that game.
This looks great. Probably one of the best games from the Direct for me.
Still gotta finish the first one but still excited.
Looks really nice, but the original wasn't for me (I played the demo).
This was a huge surprise for me. I didn't expect a sequel.
I really wanted to like the first one but the demo was so bad... Curious about this one, but only after a demo 😬
@Matt-e-r Why did you not bother even reading the first paragraph? Right at the start it says: "Marvelous has shown off more footage of Titanic Scion, a new entry in the Daemon X Machina series, during today's Nintendo Direct."
And at the bottom of the article the first game's review is linked.
Yeah. Couldn't get into the demo of the firsy game. Would have loved a proper mech game which it seemed at the time. Will monitor its sequel though.
The first one looked so boring, I was never interested. This one looks much better, but I'll wait for reviews. I won't be a console seller for me.
İt looks incredible. Well done.
İ must see the review before İ say something maybe İ will pick this game but first İ must see the score.
I actually was thinking through dormant Nintendo IP before the recent Directs and thought of this one. So I didn't guess it during the trailer since it was announced as a partner game. But now I see that Nintendo only published it for Switch and that its rights were retained by Marvelous.
I kinda pre-empted the Duskbloods announcement by guessing this first as an Armored Core port, also by From Software.
@imgrowinglegs
Thanks!
@gabrigoes
Thanks!
@BTB20
Sorry, bud, I missed that. Was a bit excited.
@Yomerodes
Thank you!
I enjoyed the 1st game on Switch, this one looks to expand, GREATLY, on the foundation that game laid and visually looks far more interesting that DxM1. Looking forward to this, although I thought for half a second that this was going to be a sequel to Vanquish by Platinum Games.
I'm going to have a blast with this one.
Looks great! I want to know more asap
I don't think that SW2 version is gonna look that good sadly. PS5 & Xbox Series blah blah are so much more powerful.
But still the most interesting game (for me) as shown during the trailer.
It practically looks like a whole new game, no real connection to the first at least visually. But I'm not complaining... it just looks like we're going from large robots to Iron Man-style suits and that's fine. Cautiously optimistic...the first game was appealing at first, but it didn't hold my interest very long.
@Yomerodes exactly, people have been wanting this situation for the better part of a decade but suddenly it means nothing.
This was one of the bigger surprises of the Direct, to me. I was under the impression the first game did not sell very well.
@IronMan30 In this case it's not particularly meaningful as it's expected to happen. The game was first announced for Switch and PC and is a sequel to a game that was Switch exclusive and is still only on Switch and PC. Also it's developed and published by Marvelous, who release all of their games day one on Switch, many of them exclusive or timed exclusive.
@BTB20 Oh I was more pointing out (along with the op, who did it sardonically) that people get upset when third-party games launch late on Nintendo systems. Now that a third-party game is launching day and date with the others, it's nothing.
