While not necessarily a bad game, the reboot of Star Wars Battlefront from 2015 always felt a bit hollow. It had all the frenetic action fans expected from a DICE shooter, unfortunately, the content, or lack there off, did seem to burn many fans, including myself. With the official unveiling of Star Wars Battlefront II looks to address those complaints in a very big way.

Right out of the gate, the trailer addresses on of the biggest omissions from the first game, a single-player campaign. But instead of playing from the perspective of the typical “heroes” of the series, the story will be an Imperial-centric story. It will follow Iden Versio and Inferno Squad, an Imperial spec-ops team, following the Battle of Endor and their battle to avenge Emperor Palpatine. This story will tie in with the upcoming novel, Star Wars Battlefront II: Inferno Squad, which will focus on the formation of the team after A New Hope. A few of the developers and authors went more into the story during a panel for the game at Star Wars Celebration, saying that the story will continue all the way up to The Force Awakens.

That wasn’t all that the trailer revealed. While there will be more of the original trilogy material in the game, Battlefront II will also include battles and heroes from the prequels and new trilogies as well. This was teased with quick glimpses of Darth Maul, Yoda, Rey, and Kylo Ren, which gets the message across pretty clear. They also teased some of the locations to be featured like Tatooine, Hoth, Naboo, and Starkiller Base. More was teased during the panel itself, with concept art showing off prequel era battles, with several pieces showing off Kamino during the Clone Wars.

If DICE and EA was looking to make up for the complaints about 2015’s Battlefront, this trailer shows their going in the right direction. Hopefully, as we see more of the game, EA will highlight just how much they worked to improve the game. Star Wars Battlefront II will be available on Xbox One, Playstation 4, and PC on November 17, 2017.

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.
