Since E3 2018, publisher Bethesda has been teasing fans with chaotic game trailers, screenshots and lively details on their upcoming sequel, RAGE 2. However, Avalanche Studios and id Software have still been able to keep much of the game under wraps. That is, until now.

In an extensive round-up from Game Informer, RAGE 2 has let loose many details on the follow-up to 2010’s post-apocalyptic FPS title. While The Game Awards earlier this week provided a deeper look at the game – as well as a set release date – with a brand-new open-world trailer, there’s still loads of information about the upcoming carnage inducing shooter we’re still uncovering.

Earlier this year, Bethesda shared with fans that the game was being co-developed by the developers of the original RAGE, id Software, and the Just Cause/Mad Max dev team, Avalanche Studios. The game follows along the same path of mayhem set forth in the debut title, with returning weapons like the bloody dangerous wingstick.

However, there is a brand-new firearm that will be making its debut in RAGE 2, and that’s the coveted gravity gun. Traditionally used in the iconic shooter, Half-Life 2, RAGE 2 will have its own twist on the uniquely devastating weapon. Tagged enemies are catapulted into whatever objects the player is aiming at when firing off the secondary trigger, resulting in some pretty gory kills.

The inclusion of the brutal gravity gun is a nice bonus bit of info to keep us eagerly awaiting the 2019 release date, but there is some rather unfortunate news, as well. Regarding the game’s multiplayer mode: well, there isn’t any.

Long-time RAGE fans will remember the various online modes found in the first title, however, the development teams behind the sequel currently have no intention of taking the sequel outside of the single player campaign. For anyone looking to scratch that co-op post-apocalyptic itch while waiting for Borderlands 3, you won’t find it in RAGE 2.

Also, the story in RAGE 2 stands alone as a completely solitary experience inviting newcomers to join in on what the second installment in the series has to offer. References to the first game will be made, sure, but players won’t miss anything important in the story if they missed the series the first time around.

But for those who have indulged themselves in the debut release in the series, the sequel looks to correct the mistakes that held the game back in 2010. The vast open world will now be free to explore after the credits roll, an applauded decision in relation to the first game’s awkward closure and the crooked ruling of eliminating players from exploring the world post-game.

RAGE 2 is slated for release on May 14th, 2019 for the PS4, Xbox One and PC. Until then, check back for more details on the upcoming apocalyptic shooter.

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.
