Metal Gear Survive Will Launch at February 2018
Alright, let’s end this quick. Konami made an announcement about the latest title in the Metal Gear franchise. After a long hiatus, many wondered where the game disappeared to because no updates were made in regards to Metal Gear: Survive. With some fans speculating that the game got quietly canceled.
Oh, how much I would’ve wished this was the case. However, it seems like Konami wants to keep on pushing their fans’ limits and provided an announcement for an update in the Metal Gear Twitter.
Announcement coming tomorrow. Stay tuned. #MGSurvive pic.twitter.com/cNx6FCtwfh

Afterwards, the company finally revealed that Metal Gear: Survive will be making its debut in the Americas by February 20. The first Metal Gear game made without the supervision of Hideo Kojima will also be available for Europe by February 22.

This is painful to write, ladies and gentlemen, but I’ll continue regardless. Anyways, those players who pre-order the game will be getting early access to stuff and cosmetics. Because of course Konami would add to the already awful pre-order culture.

Those who pre-order the game will be getting the “Survival Pack”. Which consists of 4 Golden weapons, 2 Additional Emotes, Motherbase Nameplate and more cosmetic stuff.
Not only that, but we have also been provided with some screenshots of the game and its narrative. Which is going to take place after Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, where the members of Big Boss’ base are trapped in an alternate universe and have to fight zombies.
To go with the release date announcement, some brand new screenshots. #MGSurvive

I wonder how long will Konami take until they start incorporating Microtransactions and Loot Boxes with this game. I mean, considering they are jumping at every single bandwagon ever. Would it really be that bizarre to see some “Survival Kits” that offer some sort of weapons that kill more enemies and such? But eh, let’s see how this plays out.

Shift Up unveils the intriguing details behind the physical packaging of Stellar Blade for the PS5
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.

- If you want to join in, navigate to Settings, then Captures & Broadcasts, followed by Captures, Auto Captures, and finally Community Game Help. From there, simply choose the option to participate. Users have the option to unsubscribe whenever they choose
- During Remote Play, players now have the option to hide the persistent message “Remote Play connected.” that appears on their game screen. To ensure a seamless gaming experience, navigate to the Settings menu, then proceed to the System section. From there, locate the Remote Play option and activate the Hide Remote Play Connection Status feature
- The system’s software performance and stability have been significantly enhanced
- The messages and usability on some screens have been enhanced

New PS5 Patch Introduces Rare 40FPS Mode for Avatar Game
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora has received an exciting update that introduces a new graphical mode, elevating the game’s visual experience. With a smooth frame rate of 40 frames per second and enhanced resolutions, players can now immerse themselves in even more stunning and detailed environments. Now downloadable on PS5 with the latest patch 3.2, this mode is compatible with 4K TVs that can handle up to 120 Hz. Before this update, Avatar PS5 only offered quality and performance modes. However, with this new option, players can now enjoy the benefits of both modes after downloading the 2.4GB update.
Throughout the PS5 era, 40fps modes have been a rarity, much to the disappointment of the hardcore community. Insomniac Games first introduced them in Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales and later added the feature to Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. They also included it in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Other PS5 titles, such as Hogwarts Legacy, Lies of P, and God of War Ragnarok, also offer 40fps modes.
In addition to that, Patch 3.2 for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora brings along the following:
Worldwide:
- Research Station Alpha now features a convenient Fast Travel option
- The issue of controller re-mapping and resetting on game restart has been resolved
- Addressed multiple instances of crashes
- I corrected a few spelling errors
- Addressed the issue of voice lines overlapping during dialogue
Primary Objectives & Optional Objectives:
- [Main Quest: Shadows of the Past] This main quest is an intriguing journey into the depths of history. Addressed a bug that previously hindered quest progression in co-op mode
More bug fixes have been implemented.
- [Available on all platforms] The rescued human characters no longer return to the Resistance HQ wearing masks
- Available on all platforms. There is a noticeable improvement in the visibility of NPCs when they are at the edge of the Player’s vision
