Revision 7

Supernatural anomalies are the paranormal events caused by Chaos in Nova City. They are the primary threats that the A.C.D. investigates and responds to. In gameplay, they appear to function as both story missions and open-world encounters.

Scale

Anomalies range from minor disturbances (legged toilets, objects behaving strangely) to city-wide catastrophes (the meteor disaster connected to Dila). The TGS 2025 demo showed anomalies including mechs climbing buildings and sudden gang confrontations triggered by Chaos.

How They Appear

Random encounters appear on the map marked by red and blue indicators. Some anomalies are scripted story events; others appear dynamically as you explore. Scenarios shown in previews include gang confrontations, hostage rescues, superhero recruitment screenings, secret meeting infiltrations, and chasing a person in a hotdog suit.

Response

The A.C.D. team responds to anomalies through investigation, containment, and combat. Each character contributes differently based on their job and abilities.
