Darksiders 2: Deathinitive Edition Announced

Nordic Games makes surprise announcements that Darksiders 2: Deathinitive Edition & a new Darksiders game are being developed

Over the last few years publisher THQ, after years of publishing movie spin-off and other low quality games, began to develop AAA quality titles in a last ditch effort to turn the company around. Sadly it was to late for THQ to bring themselves out of the red, forcing the company into bankruptcy and its IP’s auctioned off. Among those IP’s was the action series Darksiders, often described as a mix of Legend of Zelda and God of War elements.

Darksiders 2, which paralleled the events of the first game, was released shortly before THQ shuddered its doors. Despite how popular Darksiders 2 was after THQ went under the series future was in serious doubt by many gamers. Nordic Games had picked up Darksiders and many other THQ IP’s, that they assured gamers wouldn’t simply die. This week they made good on that promise with the announcement of the return of Darksiders.

Nordic Games has announced their plans to re-release Darksiders 2 on the PS4 and Xbox One in the form of Darksiders 2: Deathinitive Edition. A complete remaster of the game, its being handled by a studio known as Gunfire Games made up largely of former Vigil Games developers (the studio that originally created the Darksiders franchise). The remastered edition of the game will be brought up to a native 1080p with the light and shadow effects, character models, and environments all updated.

Darksiders 2: Deathinitive Edition won’t simply be a visual overhaul of the original game either. The remaster will include all of Darksiders 2 DLC including story missions and weapons to give players the full experience. On top of that the games loot system and balancing are being fine-tuned for the re-release, in a move to make the game better than ever.

If all that wasn’t enough Nordic games also let loose that a new title in the Darksiders series is in development. While they weren’t ready to say when we would be getting details about Darksiders 3 they were willing to confirm that its scope is “large scale” Hopefully we will be hearing more about the game soon, in the meantime we’ll have to settle for Darksiders 2: Deathinitive Edition launching this winter.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
