Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon were revealed to be in development over two months ago, but we haven’t learned much about them since then. We got a few scattered details here and there, such as Lycanroc’s new form. Now, we have a new trailer with a bunch of new details to go over.

For starters, as the featured image above suggests, we have new trainers to play around with. They each have new designs that are very appropriate for the Hawaii-inspired Alola Region along with further character customization.

As Pokémon sequels and updates tend to do, there is a huge amount of returning Pokémon and characters from the previous games in this generation, Sun and Moon. However, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon look to be giving certain Pokémon and characters from previous the games that didn’t have much story focus more time in the spotlight here. This is exemplified by various scenes showed off in the trailer and the one narrative element we know so far.

So far, all we know for sure about this story is that it will have a big focus on Necrozma. Originally just the final Ultra Beast to catch and forget about in Sun and Moon, Necrozma is now darkening the skies of Alola and it’s up to the player to find out why.

As for other characters shown off in the trailer, the flying-type Elite Four member looks to have a place in this story, along with Ryuki, one of the many challengers you can fight as champion. Both characters more or less appeared out of nowhere in the original game, with you meeting them both for the first time in the Pokémon League Championships. Ryuki especially is a character many might not have met since he only appears if you go through the Elite Four again and he is randomly selected as your challenger out of a group of 10. Both are featured in this trailer above any other character besides your own implying that they have a much more substantial role this time around.

There are also various other story elements that get a focus in this new trailer, such as story beats about an Alolan Vulpix, a new foresty and Japan-inspired area, more to do on Exeggutor Island, etc. Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon release for the Nintendo 3DS on November 17th, 2017. More details are promised to be revealed by Nintendo between now and then.

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.

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.
