Marvel RPG On the Way from Aftershock Game Studio

Aftershock Studios is currently working on an RPG based loosely off the Marvel comics universe. Jay Ong, the Senior Vice President of Games and Innovation at Marvel, had quite a bit to say about the game. “Aftershock is creating something special and we are thrilled to finally announce this news. The game will be the full package: an exciting storyline, epic moments with Marvel super heroes and super villains, and incredible visuals that truly bring our characters to life.”

Aftershock is a relatively unknown studio that was formed from the Los Angeles and San Francisco divisions of another gaming company called Kabam. Aftershock was acquired by FoxNext Games last month and is working on this Marvel RPG as their first project with the new studio.

FoxNext Games was created by 20th Century Fox as a reaction to popular games set in Fox movie universes. The success of Alien: Isolation especially prompted Fox to create FoxNext Games in order to capitalize off pre-existing movie universes for game development purposes.

This new Marvel game will have a connection to the comics universe. There was initially a bit of confusion about whether or not the game would be connected to one of the existing Marvel movie universes. This is especially the case since 20th Century Fox owns the X-Men movie universe and will be working on this game. FoxNext Games division head Salil Mehta was also formerly an executive of The Walt Disney Company, giving him a connection to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

All this being said, it has since been clarified by Aaron Loeb, the President of Studios at FoxNext, that the game won’t be connected to either movie universe. Instead, it will be closer to the comics than anything else. This allows for more Marvel heroes to appear in the game and for Aftershock to have more creative freedom in developing it.

As of right now, there isn’t a release date or even release window for the game. All we know so far is that the game is coming and is being developed by Aftershock. Regardless, we’re bound to hear more about this game as time goes on.

I spend most of my days working towards my Writing and Rhetoric degree at the University of Central Florida, but I spend a lot of my down time keeping up to date on the best TV, movies, and video games the industry has to offer. Here I put all of that extended time to use discussing each of them in-depth.

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.
