Destiny 2 Still Slated For 2017 Release Date

Destiny has been one of the most popular games for the PS4 and Xbox One. While it had some blips along the way, the development team has stayed strong and turned the game into a unique MMO shooter experience that rewards consistent gameplay. With the launch of the four DLCs: The Dark Below, House of Wolves, The Taken King and The Rise of Iron, The gameplay was further expanded, adding new content and raids to keep even the most dedicated player occupied. Though Bungie will likely continue updating Destiny for the time being, it’s looking like we could see a sequel sometime this year.

In an earnings slideshow today, Activision announced a “Full Destiny sequel in 2017 to broaden the franchise’s global reach, which along with follow-on content plans, sets the stage for growth.” Which basically means we’re likely to see Destiny 2 launch this year. While it’s true games are often delayed, It seems that Bungie has a vested interest in releasing the sequel on time, as if they fail to meet a 2017 release window Activision will be awarded a hefty chunk of the independent studio’s stock.

There’s exciting news accompanying the announcement of a sequel, with Activision stating that the game will also be released for PC in addition to Xbox One and PS4. This is a huge boon for the franchise, as it will bring in many people who want to play together but only own one console. Personally, I know that I’ve wanted to play Destiny with my partner but we only own one PS4. It’s much more likely that a couple will own two gaming PCs than two PS4s, so I think the sequel will receive a huge influx of players who would have otherwise passed on the release.

Bungie made the mistake with the first entry in the franchise by releasing too much information too soon, leading to disappointment when promised features weren’t included in the final release. It looks like the studio is being much more cautious with news this time around, and we likely won’t hear more on the game until closer to a release date. All signs point towards a launch sometime this fall.

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.
