Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus’ New Trailer Provides Several Surprises

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is almost upon us, and Bethesda is hyping up the Nazi-murder simulator with a new trailer that shows a few new faces.

The Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus launch trailer is about as high-octane as you can get, which is par for the course with the Wolfenstein franchise these days. Sure, it features American resistance leader Grace Walker giving a rousing speech to stand up against the occupying Nazi regime, even if it’s with a knife or a clenched fist, but mostly the video is about the one-man army known as B.J. Blazkowicz tearing through Nazi forces. But, the promise of decimating the Nazi army isn’t the only highlight of the trailer. No, it’s who’s among those forces that is meant to get our blood pumping and excited for the release of Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus.

While series antagonist Wilhelm “Deathsead” Strasse won’t be returning (spoiler: he died in Wolfenstein: The New Order), his right hand woman Frau Engel will pick up the swastika-shaped baton as the big bad. And yes, in the trailer she’s talking in front of a desecrated Lincoln Memorial where Honest Abe has been replaced by Adolf Hitler in what can only be described as a mirror universe version of the “I Have a Dream” speech. But the hit list doesn’t end there; viewers will remember that in the “Nuke Area 52” gameplay video, KKK members were getting all chummy with occupying Nazi soldiers. Well, the latest trailer confirms that Klansmen will be among those opposing Blaskowicz (and getting their faces shotgunned off by Blakowicz as well); I can already hear the angry comments complaining that evil people are being portrayed as evil in a video game. Oh, and at the end of the trailer, Hitler, albeit a horribly aged and decrepit version of himself, makes a special guest appearance. Personally, I’m hoping his boss fight is saved for Wolfenstein III, because you can never kill too many Nazis in video games.

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus releases October 27th for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. That date can’t come soon enough.

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.
