The Elder Scrolls Online is getting players prepared for its huge expansion taking place in the fan-favorite region of Morrowind. This new video released by Bethesda showcases the brand new PvP arena titled Battlegrounds which will be a part of the release of The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind. This new mode will differ from the large-scale PvP map that players of the game are already used to by focusing on tight 4 player teams in smaller, more focused maps. Teams will compete to control the map against two other teams in a 4v4v4 gauntlet.
This sounds like a good idea, as many have been put off by PvP in the base game of The Elder Scrolls Online. It was by no means terrible and was a great idea in concept, but didn’t always manage to achieve the epic scale warfare it was going for. Originally, players would battle in a huge region of Cyrodil and fight in a persistent warzone where teams would capture territory, towns, and castles. This meant that the battle never stopped and you might log on one day to see that town you tried so hard to keep hold of has now been captured by the enemy, pushing your side back in the process. The problem with this, however, was that many times you would find there just wasn’t enough players on at one time to fill the gigantic map, which led to a lot of roaming large empty stretches with no one around to the sound of whistling winds and sight of some tumbleweeds rolling by.
This new, dense, and more focused attempt at PvP looks like a great contrast to what we had before. Hopefully, the smaller map sizes have given Zenimax Online Studios more creative freedom to come up with tightly designed and interesting battlegrounds for players to spend ungodly amounts of hours in. As seen in the video, which was filmed during the first hands-on at PAX East 2017, one player expresses the joy he had throwing players into lava. This means the maps could have unique gameplay traits that could turn the tide of battle.
At PAX, players also got to try out a new class included in The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind, the Warden. Though not too much is known about it as of yet, we can get from this video that he has quite a sweet looking frost ability that seems fun to play around with. The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind releases July 6th, 2017 on PC, Xbox One, PS4, and Mac.

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.

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.
