You might have remembered reading way back that a new map is coming to PUBG.

Well, it’s finally been named. Welcome to Miramar.

While teasers have been floating around for a while, this is the first official confirmation of the new locations you’ll be plundering. Miramar is the complete opposite of Erangel. With less greenery and barely any trees to squat behind, new tactics and strategies will need to be developed.

PubG Desert Map

In a Steam community post, Bluehole detailed how Miramar offers ‘unique terrain and dense urban areas’, something entirely new to PUBG. They also offered an insight into a few key locations:

Los Leones

The largest city in the region, Los Leones offers high vantage points, construction sites and vast, abandoned buildings. This looks like a prime location for loot, which usually makes it incredibly dangerous.

El Pozo

Another city, El Pozo features a bunch of factories and large buildings as well as, most excitingly, a Luchador arena and a ‘death bowl’, designed for motorcycles.

Monte Neuvo

A ‘town besieged’. By the sounds of it Monte Neuvo is an ad-hoc fortress, with hastily built defenses and well-stocked with gear. Avoid like the plague by the sounds of it.

La Cobreria

Well known for it’s rail yard, players in La Cobreria will find themselves fighting in and around cargo containers. A few schools apparently dot the town and as usual, are good for loot.

Pecado

A tourist destination that features the largest casino in the region. With an arena, four-story hotels and the aforementioned casino, Pecado features long sightlines for big, open gunfights.

Miramar PUBG

Judging by the map, other hot spots will probably include the Prison and the ‘Campo Militar’, which we assume will be good for fist-fighting upon landing.

According to Bluehole, Miramar will be playable during the final test round before PUBG version 1.0 delivers the goods.

In case you missed it, Miramar will also bring with it a new vehicle in the form of a truck specific to the new desert backdrop and more importantly, a sawn-off shotgun.

Sawn Off Shotgun PUBG

It’s probably useless but that thing looks great.

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.
