Bandai Namco has announced its brand new RPG, Code Vein. The game is slated to be released sometime in 2018 on “major home consoles.” Bandai Namco describes the game as a “grueling action-RPG” with a large emphasis on feasting on the blood of your foes and exploring a massive interconnected world.
The game takes place in the near future as a mysterious calamity ravages the world. The Thorns of Judgement pierce through the lifeless husks of old skyscrapers and cars litter the streets. Most of the worlds population has been exterminated, and the only survivors are the Revenants that have formed a society called Vein. The Revenant are ex-humans that have sacrificed their memories and gained a thirst for blood in order to receive Gifts of power. If they don’t feast on blood, they risk devolving into monsters known as the Lost.
Code Vein emphasizes its challenging combat and it’s bleak post-apocalyptic world. Thankfully, players won’t have to journey alone. Assuming the role of a Revenant, they will have to recruit the residents of Vein to assist them on their journey to discover a way out of this twisted reality. Players will use their Blood Veils to drain the blood of their foes to use abilities known as Gifts. Gifts have various effects from buffs, debuffs and using weapon abilities. The flexibility allows players to tackle any situation and adapt to play the game their way.
Authors Impressions:
The game’s tone is immediately reminiscent of Bandai Namco’s flagship series, Dark Souls. However, the standout feature of the game so far seems to be its focus on the relationship between party members. It will be interesting to see how the game handles the interaction between characters. Between the wording of the press release and the images that have been shown to us, it seems as though Code Vein will emphasize the interactions between the player character and another party member in a one on one fashion. This intimate party design could be a catalyst for some very compelling story-telling in a world that will surely force you to rely on each other in order to progress. With the Revenant giving up their memories in order to obtain their vampire-like powers, it could be very interesting to see the player character and his party members slowly recover their memories about who they used to be and what happened before the world fell apart. Of course, this is all speculation at this point. I’m eager to learn more about this intriguing new IP and I’ll definitely be keeping my eyes on Code Vein in the coming months.
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.

The developer of Stellar Blade for the PS5 Expressing gratitude to the fans for their unwavering support amidst a recent controversy surrounding censorship
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.
Thanks to all our Stellar Blade fans for your passion & feedback. Stay tuned for updates🤍 pic.twitter.com/jCRzM4OQBS

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.

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?
In this article, we delve into the details to determine the platform availability of the highly anticipated title.
Will Stellar Blade be available on PC? Allow me to provide you with the answer.
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.
