Overkill’s The Walking Dead Confirmed For 2016 Release

Last August, developer Overkill announced it was working on a new The Walking Dead game, and according to publisher Starbreeze, it would focus on cooperative gameplay. Today, Starbreeze confirmed the game is coming to Xbox One, Playstation 4, and PC, and won’t be released until sometime in 2016.

Starbreeze also announced it would be publishing the games on consoles under an agreement with 505 Games. For a $10 million USD license fee, 505 Games will publish The Walking Dead on Xbox One and PS4. The partnership comes as no surprise considering the two companies worked together on Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. They also collaborated on the hugely successful Payday series, evidence that they work well together.

The new The Walking Dead game will be Payday-esque, but with a larger world. The company says it will “deliver a completely new co-op experience to The Walking Dead universe, exploring new characters and storylines.” Gameplay wise, it will be a first-person cooperative shooter  which Starbreeze says will incorporate action, role-playing, and stealth. And, like any good zombie game, survival horror. Similar to other The Walking Dead titles, players will assume the role of survivors in a post-apocalyptic world that will apparently be set in 2016 Washington.

The game will be set in the same universe as the comics, not the TV show. It will have no connection to with Telltale’s The Walking Dead episodic series, or with Activision’s The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct. Although the game obviously doesn’t have a rating yet, Starbreeze have warned that, because of the canon established by the comics, it’s going to be a game for mature audiences only.

Bo Andersson Klint, CEO of Starbreeze, said, “it will be gameplay focused, ferocious and bring chaos to the traditional industry model – from us developers straight to you. This time it’s big – don’t walk alone.”

In addition to the confirmation of the new game, fans of Payday 2 will be able to enjoy adding to their stash of weapons a Lucille baseball bat, intended to commemorate the collaboration between Overkill, their parent company Starbreeze, and 505 Games.

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.
