2K Games Advent

In the lead up to E3 2015, developers are stoking the fires of hype. 2K Games has taken the opportunity to tease a mysterious new sci-fi project called Advent. It began with a couple of very interesting tweets from the developer’s official Twitter account. “Luxury for the privileged few is outdated. This is the future of urban living,” the first tweet said.

It appears this future is set to be a dystopia. Both tweets include images of futuristic cities, overlaid with text inviting people to move in. “Move in today and start living in the world of tomorrow!” But then a more sinister image flashes over it, warning us about the nightmares of this world. “Move in today and fear the world of tomorrow!”

2K Games then posted a link to a mysterious website. Adventfuture.org continues the tease, telling us it’s “Building a brighter future together,” and “The ADVENT Administration strives to create a world free from hunger, pain, sickness, and war. We believe in a global community of happy and comfortable citizens.” There’s also some sinister red text that flashes up every now and then to say, “The ADVENT is lying to you,” or “We are still watching.” So maybe the ADVENT had their site hacked? They should probably do something about that.

“Advent gene therapy will free you from illness,” the site says. “Our citizens no longer fear the diseases and disabilities that plagued past generations. A complex and cutting edge system of DNA splicing has led to cures not only for the viruses and infections that for millennia haunted us, but for mental illnesses as well. Come discover an Illness free world with us.” Sounds marvelous – where do I sign?

It’s not entirely clear exactly what Advent will be. Although it’s possibly a new XCOM or Bioshock title, what seems most likely (and exciting) is that this is an entirely new IP altogether. All we know for certain at this point is that Advent is going to be about a futuristic metropolis that’s got a dark side.

2K actually teased a new triple-A title earlier this month in its quarterly earnings call. “Throughout the coming year, we will continue to execute our proven strategy of launching a select array of the highest-quality titles, led by new annual releases of NBA 2K and WWE 2K; Battleborn, a groundbreaking new intellectual property from Gearbox Software,” parent company Take-Two Interactive said. It also teased “a soon-to-be announced new triple-A title from 2K” was on the way.

Rhiannon likes video games and she likes writing, so she decided to combine them. As well as writing about video games, she also belts out the occasional science fiction or fantasy story, edits videos, and eats strawberry oreos. In that order.

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.
