Crossovers let characters who would normally never meet combine forces for either good or evil, and that’s just happens in Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite’s story.

The trailer for Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite gets right to the point: Marvel supervillain Ultron and the Mega Man X franchise’s main antagonist Sigma have used the powers of the Infinity Stones to combine into a single godlike entity called Ultron Sigma. While the trailer does not explicitly state what Sigma and Ultron did after combining, it implies Ultron Sigma used the Infinity Stones to combine the Marvel and various Capcom universes into one conglomerate reality. To add insult to injury, he (or would it be they?) then took up residence in Asgard.

Despite being called a story trailer, the video is primarily focused on introducing Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite’s characters as they fight Ultron robots, brainwashed Asgardian warriors, and Ultron Sigma. Actually, fight is too strong a word; it’s more like Ultron Sigma wipes the floor with the characters introduced in the trailer while the robots and Asgardian soldiers run interference, but I digress. Some characters are introduced so quickly you’ll miss them if you blink, while others receive a bit more screen time. The characters in the trailer are:

  • Strider Hiryu (the original one, not the Strider Hiryu from the 2014 Strider game)
  • The Incredible Hulk
  • Chris Redfield
  • Thor
  • Mega Man X (or sometimes just X)
  • Captain America
  • Captain Marvel (not to be confused with the current Ms. Marvel)
  • Chun-Li
  • Hawkeye
  • Iron Man
  • Rocket Racoon

This character roster is rather short compared to previous Marvel vs. Capcom games and does not include some series staples, including Wolverine and Spider Man. Furthermore, previously announced characters such as Ryu and Morrigan Aensland are curiously missing from the trailer, but I fully expect them to have significant roles in upcoming trailers.

As we have come to expect from most game trailers, the story trailer for Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite ends with the announcements of the Deluxe and Collector’s Editions. The Deluxe Edition will include six premium costumes and six new DLC characters, including Sigma, which means that Ultron might also be a playable character. The Collector’s Edition, on the other hand, contains a metric ton of physical goodies, including light-up replicas of the Infinity Stones and statues of Iron Man, Captain Marvel, Chun-Li, and Mega Man X.

According to the trailer, Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite is scheduled to release September 19th. With luck, the game will deliver on the awesomeness promised by the trailer.

All you have to do to get my attention is talk about video games, technology, anime, and/or Dungeons & Dragons - also people in spandex fighting rubber suited monsters.

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?

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.
