Whenever you mention the word Platinum around the right group of people, you’ll see their eyes light up with joy and excitement, and rightly so. Platinum are responsible for creating some of the most high-octane action games over the last several years; games that truly make you feel like a badass without relying too much on quick-time events and making you learn how the game works – you have to earn the right to be awesome.

Thanks to them, we’ve slashed through hulking mechas as a cyber samurai, battled the forces of both heaven and hell as a certain sexy witch and even took control of over a hundred Power Rangers-esque superheroes at once to punch an alien the size of the Earth in the face. And now we’ve learnt that Platinum has an all-new adventure in the pipeline.

The developer confirmed that this new title will be unveiled at this year’s E3, at 11pm BST (6pm ET) on Tuesday 16th June.

Aside from that, Platinum have not even hinted at what it could possibly be, leaving tonnes of room for speculation. Could it be that Metal Gear Rising sequel? The thing has been in a very weird state of affairs at the moment (though apparently it was in the planning stages at one point).

Maybe something Nintendo related? The reveal will take place after Nintendo’s Digital Event and Bayonetta 2 director Yusuke Hasimoto has stated that he’d be interested in working with Nintendo again for a third title. Or it could be The Wonderful 102?

There is also the possibility of it being a brand new IP. For all we know, it might not even be an action game as unlikely as it sounds. Action games are Platinum’s bread and butter but what’s stopping them from trying something new like a fighting game or a racing game or a puzzle game? Let’s be honest, they’d probably still end up having explosions and ninjas and over-the-top jumps. We’ll just have to wait and see.

It should also be noted that aside from this mystery title, Platinum is also working on an Xbox One exclusive, Scalebound, which could appear at Microsoft’s press conference. If you’re interested, it’ll be taking place on June 15th (that’s this Monday) at 5.30pm BST (12.30pm ET).

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.
