Ubisoft is without a doubt one of the larger developers and publishers out there. I mean how else could they release Watch Dogs 2, For Honor, Ghost Recon Wildlands, and Steep all within six months. They have quite a number of studios all over the world and was a key factor in releasing an Assassin’s Creed titles every year. That has since changed of course since 2016 went without a proper title in the series.

Well, Ubisoft is expanding their brand even more. The giant company has opened up two new studios in Bordeaux, France and Berlin, Germany. Both of which will focus on AAA multiplatform development and assist in big name franchises. They will collaborate with other Ubisoft teams from around the world.

We pride ourselves on attracting and retaining the best creative talent around the world, and on establishing video games as a viable career option and economic contributor in new locales,” said Christine Burgess-Quémard, executive director of Ubisoft’s worldwide studios. “This enables us to offer more opportunities to skilled graduates and industry veterans in those regions, who in turn will help our highly skilled teams in the development of some of our biggest franchises.”

Ubisoft Bordeaux will join the Paris, Lyon, Annecy, and Montpellier studios and work on games like Just Dance, Steep, and Ghost Recon Wildlands. If you happen to live in France, check out the the new studio’s Facebook and keep an eye out for job openings here.

Ubisoft Berlin on the other hand will work in tandem with Blue Byte on an unannounced AAA project. If they’re working with Blue Byte, the unannounced title is probably a strategy game. Ubisoft is looking to hire around fifty people within the first twelve months. Again, check out this team’s site and click here for job openings.

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.
