The next installment in the iconic Mortal Kombat series is only a few short months away, and today Ed Boon and Netherrelam Studios shared a heap of information about their newest addition to the savage franchise, Mortal Kombat 11.

The live stream revealed a handful of trailers which gave us a closer look at a few returning characters, a couple new fighters added to the roster and a gruesome story prologue trailer starring a rather hod-headed Raiden and a tortured Shinnok.

The trailers don’t stop there as a healthy dose of bone crushing gameplay was also revealed. Mortal Kombat 11 looks to tap into the same formula as the more recent releases in the series, but somehow, once again upping the dose of brutal gore. The gameplay features familiar characters such as Raiden, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Baraka and Sonya Blade, but also gives us a quick glimpse at the first female boss to join in the Mortal Kombat tournament — Kronika.

Along with the vicious gameplay mechanics, Netherrealm also shared a quick montage of some of the bloodiest fatalities featured in the game. Check that out below.

Also adding to the roster is another new character who acts as Kronika’s right-hand pummeling companion, Geras. Catch a good look at what the new punch-packing fighter has to offer, as well as a look at one of his gruesome fatalities below.

One last big reveal for Mortal Kombat 11 is that classic female fighter, Sonya Blade, will be voiced by none other than UFC star, Ronda Rousey. Rousey is thrilled to be apart of the MK universe, forever immortalized as one of the most iconic characters in the series.

“I’ve been a lifelong Mortal Kombat fan, and Sonya Blade was the first kick-ass, female video game character that I related to(…)Now I get to voice her in Mortal Kombat 11. It’s a dream come true to be a part of the Mortal Kombat franchise that I grew up playing.” — Ronda Rousey

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.
