Grass Effect N7 Mech revealed for Garden Warfare 2

PopCap Games Took the Stage at Gamescom to reveal an all new trailer & info for Plants vs. Zombies Garden warfare 2

EA’s blistering day at Gamescom has finally wrapped after they unleashed a treasure trove of information about several of their upcoming games. A big part of their showcase was PopCap Games upcoming Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 2. Excitement about the sequel to their breakout hit has been growing ever since it was announced. Last month at E3 we saw a huge amount of gameplay and great new details, but PopCap wasn’t finished yet.

They brought plenty of ammunition to Gamescom to keep the hype train rolling. First by revealing an all-new gameplay trailer called Moon Base Z. The almost two-minute long trailer shows that Garden Warfare 2 won’t be sticking players in nothing but suburban warzones. The plants will also be making an assault on the zombies moon base. Thwarting a dastardly plan involving a giant magnet.

Moon Base Z, as the area is called, will be filled with space to give players a chance to plan their assault from any angle. Moon Base Z is the perfect playground for the insane non-stop action that Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare is so famous for. Hopefully, Moon Base Z is an example of how open to strategy Garden Warfare 2’s other 11 other maps will be like. Either way PopCap wasn’t finished showing off just yet.

They took the opportunity at Gamescom to introduce the first of what we can expect to be many pre-order exclusive items. They announced a partnership with legendary RPG maker Bioware to create unique content for Garden warfare 2. Gamers who pre-order the game will have access to the Grass Effect Z7-Mech (playing off Shepard’s N7 rank in Mass Effect).

The Grass Effect Z7-Mech was constructed by Dr. Zomboss to protect Zomburia’s galactic future. The mech will be sporting a Zomni-tool on top of “interlocking ceramic plate armor with kinetic padding.” It’s designed to augment the damage of other abilities like biotic and tech. The Grass Effect Z7 almost feels like EA and PopCap took the Mass Effect joke too far but it still looks like it will be a fantastic toy for players.

What do you think of the Grass Effect N7-Mech and the newly revealed Moon Base Z map? Do you plan to pre-order Garden Warfare 2 to get a hold of all the goodies its sure to offer? Sound off in the comments below.

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.

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.
