Star Wars Battlefront Squadron Mode Unveiled

DICE design director opened up recently about ‘Squadron Mode’ in Star Wars Battlefront saying it will feature Starfighter battles

As E3 creeps closer and closer details are starting to pop up from major publishers and developers about what we can expect to see at the event. Among them is EA who gamers are especially excited to hear from looking for any new details about Star Wars Battlefront. In development by their studio DICE gamers are itching to see actual gameplay and hear what features will be in the final game. Recently DICE design director Niklas Fegraeus let fly one new feature that we can all be excited about.

In a blog post Fegraeus first announced to the world that actual gameplay footage from Star Wars Battlefront will make an appearance at EA’s E3 press conference on June 15th. That was the most exciting information he had for the gaming world however, Fegraeus also announced the game wold have an all new game mode called ‘Squadron Mode’. He followed up this reveal with a small breakdown of what ‘Squadron Mode’ will be like:

“You could see a tiny snippet of this in our trailer where you saw the Fighter Squadron mode, where you engage in huge Starfighter battles over canyons big enough to be truly epic. Then, for those not in the mood for large scale battles, we have created Missions where players can, for example, take on armies of AI or test their piloting skills. All our missions can be played either alone or cooperatively, making them perfect for some quick Star Wars action when you have a friend over.”

The original Star Wars Battlefront trailer DICE unveiled at the Star Wars Celebration did show scenes of X-Wings and Tie Fighters duking out above the surface of Endor and Hoth as ground troops fought for supremacy. Those scenes are likely what Fegraeus is talking about and it is sure to grab fans attention. Better yet ‘Squadron Mode’ should help take away the sting of all the other features DICE has said will not be included, like surface to space battles. It’s hard to be upset about a wide selection of starfighters to choose from in a game mode where you can hash it out with other players in massive space battles.

‘Squadron Mode’ is adding onto an already impressive number of vehicles that DICE has announced players will be able to get behind. That includes an Imperial AT-ST Walker that was also seen in the Star Wars Celebration trailer. Announcing ‘Squadron Mode’ now also begs the question of what else DICE has up there sleeve that they can show at E3. Thankfully we will have the answer to that question soon and in the meantime can enjoy the idea of major space and ground battles on 12 multiplayer maps.

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.
