Will the Flood return in Halo 5?

New images discovered during the Hunt the Signal ARG contest are suggesting that the Flood will make a return in Halo 5: Guardians

Long time Halo fans and those who have jumped into the series story with the Master Chief Collection will cringe at the mention of the Flood. A horrific parasite that infects any sentient creature it can find turning them into awful monsters. They were the Halo series most terrifying enemies, especially during a Legendary playthrough (remember the Library?). They haven’t been seen in Halo’s main storyline since Halo 3; now players have found evidence that suggests the flood is returning in Halo 5.

343 Industries recently kicked off an ARG competition called Hunt the Signal, where fans work through a long series of puzzles for a chance to have their likeness in Halo 5. This week Hunt the Signal competitors have stumbled onto a set of images that has hardcore Halo lore fans captivated. They’re four gifs of strange looking cells, the first one even growing spikes all across its surface and the rest appearing to breath. The final image shows a strand of DNA that is has been broken apart in some areas to be recombined into something new.

Will the Flood return in Halo 5?

Halo forums have started buzzing about what these images could mean with two theories leading the pack. The first is that the images are a hint from 343 that the Flood are returning in Halo 5 to create all new terrifying levels like the ones from Halo’s past. Another group of fans believe that the images are actually of the virus see in the live action series Halo Nightfall. (Spoilers) The virus came from a piece of the Halo ring that was destroyed in Halo CE that specifically killed humans. Except that piece of the Halo ring was destroyed at the end of Nightfall. (End Spoilers)

If either one of those theories turns out to be true, it would raise Halo lore fans excitement for Halo 5 to insane new heights. Even players who are not deeply invested in the series story would probably be excited to see the Flood return in Halo 5. 343 has promised that Halo 5 and the rest of the Reclaimer Trilogy would have darker storylines than past games. The Flood would be the perfect mechanic to bring a darker more ominous tone to the series. Creating new levels similar to the Library from Halo CE are just what Dr. Halsey ordered.

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.
