The Division delayed until early 2016

Ubisoft once again pushes back the release date of The Division to early 2016, saying a 2015 release was “optimistic”

AAA publisher Ubisoft is having an unusually volatile day today first announcing Asassin’s Creed Syndicate, the latest title in their long running series. They have been unleashing detail after detail about the new title, only to now reveal news about another upcoming title; Tom Clancy’s The Division. First seen at E3 2013 the game has been grabbing massive amounts of attention with its MMOesque atmosphere where players will struggle in a plague ridden New York fighting to survive. It has been on the wishlist of many gamers since its reveal but they continue to wait for its arrival.

Originally announced to launch sometime in 2014 The Division was later pushed back to a 2015 launch window by Ubisoft. The publisher wasn’t forthcoming with details about why they delayed the game other than to say they “don’t want to compromise on quality” As so many other AAA titles released broken last year gamers applauded Ubisoft’s decision to continue polishing the game. Now however gamers are receiving bad news once again, as The Division is delayed again this time till 2016.

Ubisoft once again pushes back the release date of The Division to early 2016

According to Ubisoft the game will now be launching in their financial fourth quarter of 2016 placing its launch window between January 1st and March 31st 2016. Now they are coming under fire from gamers who are questioning why it was only two months Ubisoft confirmed The Division would be out this year. The publisher was not eager to explain the latest delay but statements from a developer last year give some insight.

Last year a developer claiming to be part of The Division team said a 2015 launch was “a tad bit optimistic” hinting that the team didn’t even have a functioning game at that point. Suggesting that its multiplayer was having major issues at the concept stages, a serious issue for a game with multiplayer at its core. Recent announcements from Ubisoft show that The Division’s main dev team, Massive Entertainment, would be getting help. Ubisoft Annecy along with Ubisoft Reflections and Red Storm are all now working on The Division.

Showing that the Massive Reflections team had run into a long list of problems to need so much extra help. Now delayed until 2016 all gamers can hope for is that The Division when it does launch will avoid the game breaking problems of titles like Assassin’s Creed Unity or The Master Chief Collection.

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.
