At long last, audiences may finally get that third Hellboy movie they always wanted. Kinda. Ok, it’s actually an R-rated reboot and not the sequel to Hellboy II: The Golden Army, but at least it’s better than nothing, right?

Yesterday, Hollywood Reporter confirmed that Millennium Films, known for movies such as Olympus has Fallen and Before I Go to Sleep, is trying to reboot the Hellboy franchise with Hellboy: Rise of the Blood Queen. It may be a working title, but it sounds like something Hellboy creator Mike Mignola would write, probably because he is working on the script alongside Andrew Cosby (Eureka, Haunted) and Christopher Golden (three Hellboy novels, including The Lost Army, The Bones of Giants, and The Dragon Pool).

Mike Mignola isn’t the only star power helping make the movie. Neil Marshall, director of The Descent and Game of Thrones episodes Blackwater and The Watchers on the Wall, will be the director. Furthermore, David Harbour (Chief Jim Hopper in Stranger Things) is currently slated to play Hellboy. Since movies can lose actors and directors at a moment’s notice, these roles are not set in stone, but right now the reboot shows a lot of promise just on pedigree alone.

Not all news regarding the reboot is good, however. Neither the visionary director who brought the first two movies to the big screen, Guillermo del Toro, nor the voice/face of Hellboy for the past thirteen years, Ron Perlman, are involved in the project. This news comes as a blow to many fans, as del Toro was the mind behind many if not all of the movies’ creative monsters, and Ron Perlman captured Hellboy’s tone almost perfectly. However, the biggest bummer regarding the reboot is that various sequel-baiting plot threads from the second movie will go unresolved, including the potential fallout of the general human population discovering the existence of monsters, numerous prominent BPRD members resigning from the organization, and the pregnancy of Hellboy’s girlfriend Liz.

As a fan of the first two movies, I am disappointed that del Toro and Perlman won’t be involved the movie, but I will give the reboot a shot. Given the talent of those currently involved, the Hellboy reboot might be extremely successful. I may be counting my chickens before they hatch, but with luck, the movie could be the start of a BPRD cinematic universe. Tell me you wouldn’t want to watch a movie that stars a character named Lobster Johnson?

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.

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.
