Bloodborne, the spiritual successor to Dark Souls/Demon’s Souls and one of the best PS4 games to date has now been out for more than four months. What that means is that most people who are into dark and gritty action RPGs have already played this title to death over the past few months and are now likely craving for more. While there is currently no news on a possible expansion or sequel, Bloodborne fans will soon be able to enhance their experience with a cool figurine that was just announced by Gecco, a Japanese company that specializes in manufacturing detailed statues inspired by well-known video game characters.

In this case, Gecco came up with a beautiful 1/6 scale statue of Bloodborne’s Hunter, otherwise known as the game’s protagonist. Although the Hunter can be customized to look in a number of ways and wield a variety of weapons throughout the game, Gecco went for the classic look that’s also depicted on the box art. In other words, you’ve got your sweet leather jacket, your iconic hat and mask, your oversized Saw Cleaver (can switch between saw and cleaver just like in the game) in one hand and your Hunter Blunderbuss in the other. It’s probably safe to say that some Bloodborne fans would have preferred to see other equipment, but at the end of the day you can never go wrong with a look that people – including those who haven’t played the game yet – are all too familiar with.

So, we can we get our hands on this beautiful statue, you ask? Not until December I’m afraid. Gecco is planning to release the 320 mm high statue in Japan, North America and elsewhere at the end of year for the price of $300. In addition to the classic version, the company will also release a “Puddle of Blood” variant in February, also for $300. Just as its name suggests, this second model comes complete with the blood of the Hunter’s slain enemies and will be limited to only 1,200 pieces worldwide.

Although George has many hobbies, he likes nothing more than to play around with cameras and other photography equipment.

Helldivers 2 proved to be a surprising success, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the gaming industry. As per Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, it currently ranks as Sony’s seventh highest grossing game in the United States to date, trailing behind a trio of Spider-Man titles, a couple of God of War games, and Ghost of Tsushima. It’s only been on the market for less than three months and is not even being sold at full price.

According to Piscatella, a significant factor contributing to the game’s success is its release on PC. He mentioned that, based on Circana’s Player Engagement Tracker, the game has consistently ranked first in terms of active users on Steam in the US since its launch, including April. The release of Helldivers 2 on both PlayStation and PC has been an extraordinary triumph.

He stated that Helldivers 2 has already become the seventh highest-grossing Sony-published game in history. Without a PC, it would not currently be considered one of the top 20 games. While I’m emphasizing the success of the PC SKU, it’s important to note that I’m not disregarding the success of the PlayStation SKU. I just wanted to clarify that. This launch has proven to be incredibly successful.

Prior to the release of Helldivers 2, Sony made it clear that they would be launching their live service-style titles simultaneously on both the PS5 and PC. The success of this approach will undoubtedly strengthen their strategic vision. It will be intriguing to witness if the company reveals official sales figures in the near future, as the title appears to be one of the platform holder’s most successful sellers to date.

Shift Up, the Korean developer, seems to be reconsidering its contentious alterations to the Stellar Blade outfit. In a message to fans, they have urged everyone to stay tuned for updates and expressed gratitude for the passionate feedback from players. For those who may not be aware, a petition gained significant attention over the weekend when gamers discovered changes made to a few of the game’s costumes through a day-one patch.

The launch day update includes a fantastic New Game + mode, but some players were disappointed by the changes made to protagonist Eve’s outfit. These alterations sparked debates about censorship. Director Hyung-Tae Kim later clarified that this was the studio’s original vision, but he acknowledged that it may require further persuasion to win over users. Internal discussions were also underway to address any concerns.

There is no definitive confirmation regarding the reversal of the outfits, but considering the language used in the statement and the widespread controversy surrounding the alterations, it is highly likely that a future patch will restore the original costumes. If you want to get a sneak peek at all of Eve’s different outfits and learn how to unlock them, be sure to take a look at our comprehensive guide, All Outfits and How to Get Them.

It’s quite possible. Fans all over the world are interested in Shift Up’s highly anticipated action-adventure game, Stellar Blade. With its captivating post-apocalyptic setting reminiscent of Nier and a compelling protagonist named Eve, it’s no wonder the game has generated such widespread attention.

The game consistently impresses with its stunning visuals and high-octane action, leaving players in awe with each new trailer.

Yet, just like other noteworthy second-party and third-party game releases, fans are pondering: Will Stellar Blade be available on PC?

Unfortunately, Stellar Blade will not be available on PC, at least not initially. Currently, the game is only available on PlayStation 5 starting on April 26, 2024.

Regrettably, it appears that there is no indication of a potential PC release for Stellar Blade in the future. In most cases, trailers for PlayStation timed-exclusive titles conclude with a disclaimer that specifies the duration of their exclusivity.

In the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launch trailer, it is explicitly stated that the game will only be accessible on other platforms starting on May 29, 2024.

Regrettably, when it comes to the stellar blade, there is no indication of such.

It’s important to note that Sony Entertainment Interactive published Stellar Blade, unlike Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This means that the chances of it being released on PC or other platforms in the near future are even slimmer.

However, it is worth noting that there is a chance the game might be released on PC in the future, given PlayStation’s track record of bringing their exclusive titles to the platform. However, it could be a while before this comes to fruition.
