Warner Brothers and MGM have given us more images from Tomb Raider of Alicia Vikander as the gaming icon Lara Croft. A post by Vanity Fair reveals the Ex Machina star in full iconic tomb raiding attire and looking like a great fit for the role.

The film sees Lara looking for he long lost father who had dissappeared off the coast of an island in Japan many years prior to the film. At the same time, do not be surprised if during the film she stumbles upon some ancient treasures. Hopefully she knows that everything she finds “belongs in a museum”.

The film appears to be influenced heavily by the newest incarnation of the classic gaming heroine. The first title in the newest series simply called ‘Tomb Raider’ was released in 2013 for Xbox One, Xbox 360, Playstation 4 and Playstation 3. The sequel, ‘Rise of the Tomb Raider’, was a timed exclusive on the Xbox One in 2015 and was released as a definitive edition on the PS4 last year. Both were also released on the PC and there have been rumors of a third installment in the works.

Tomb Raider is set to release March 18, 2018 and will star Alica Vikander as Lara Croft, Dominic West as her father Richard and Alexandre Willaume as Conrad Roth. This will be the third time we see Lara Croft on the big screen as we were treated to two films in the early 2000’s starring Angelina Jolie as the titular character.

Are you hopeful that Tomb Raider will break the game-to-film curse after Warcraft and Assassin’s Creed failed to? Let us know down below in the comments.

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.
