Death Stranding, better known as the game that never would have existed if Konami hadn’t canceled Silent Hills, is a mystery locked in an enigma, wrapped in a secret. We have no idea what the game is about or how it will play, but rumor has it we might finally receive news about the game during The Game Awards 2017.

Yesterday, Geoff Keighley posted a tweet that Hideo Kojima will present an award at The Game Awards 2017. Moreover, according to Keighley, famed director Guillermo del Toro will join Kojima on stage. This news is all the Internet needed to come to the conclusion the two will give the gaming audience a long-awaited taste of Death Stranding at the awards ceremony. All we need now is Norman Reedus, the third member of the Silent Hills/Death Stranding trifecta, to join del Toro and Kojima at the awards and this rumor is all but confirmed. Oh, wait, Keighly recently confirmed Reedus will also present an award. Fingers crossed, people.

Aside from two cryptic teaser trailers, we know next to nothing about Death Stranding. Sure, the videos are dripping with symbolism that give the vaguest hints to the plot (par for the course when it comes to Kojima) but we don’t know anything about gameplay mechanics.  Kotaku’s summary of “action game with an open world” could mean literally anything, from Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain stealth action to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt RPG action. Heck, maybe gamers will be able to hijack tanks and planes Grand Theft Auto style and blow up buildings Just Cause style, perhaps with some Pikmin-esque minion controlling mechanics. We just don’t know, which is why the rumor is so tantalizing.

So far, Kojima, del Toro, and Reedus have been silent on this rumor, so we cannot confirm nor deny anything. Maybe they will present another trailer or maybe a release date. For all we know nothing will come of this, and Kojima, del Toro, and Reedus were selected to artificially increase viewership in the hopes of witnessing a live Death Stranding announcement. We will have to wait until December 7th, but my fingers are crossed for some Death Stranding gameplay footage.

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.
