Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier Game Announced

After the success of the new Planet of the Apes trilogy, FoxNext Games has officially unveiled their plans for a game based off the series. Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier has just been announced by developer The Imaginarium as a game that takes place in the same universe as the films.

Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier is a choice-based, cinematic game similar, from what it appears, to games like Until Dawn and Heavy Rain. From what’s been shown so far for the game, we don’t currently know if we can fully control a character or not. However, the player has the ability to make various decisions throughout the game as both apes and humans. So far, the only confirmed playable characters are an ape named Bryn and a human named Jess. Players are also promised multiple endings and decisions that make a lasting impact, thus there is (hopefully) no illusion of choice.

The game is set between Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and War for the Planet of the Apes, the last two films in the trilogy. Various events from the two films are promised to be applicable to the story and at least one from the beginning of War is in the trailer for the game. For the sake of avoiding spoilers, I won’t elaborate on this scene.

That being said, it seems to tie very heavily into the new Planet of the Apes movies. This has been the explicit goal of FoxNext Games ever since its creation earlier this year. 20th Century Fox created FoxNext as an answer to popular games based on Fox movies, especially Alien: Isolation. FoxNext’s goal in the game industry is to work with other developers in creating games based off pre-existing Fox movie franchises. Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier seems to largely fall in line with this philosophy.

The developer that FoxNext chose to work with on this game is The Imaginarium, who just recently created a games division. The Imaginarium is renowned for their motion capture work on the new Planet of the Apes films. They’ve also done the motion capture for Ultron in Avengers: Age of Ultron and for Maz Kanata and Snoke in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The company was founded by Andy Serkis, Caesar in Planet of the Apes, who is reportedly executive producing Last Frontier.

Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier is set to release later this fall for PC, Xbox One, and PS4.

Here I put all of that extended time to use discussing each of them in-depth.

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.

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.
