New Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon Trailer and Details Revealed

Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon were revealed to be in development over two months ago, but we haven’t learned much about them since then. We got a few scattered details here and there, such as Lycanroc’s new form. Now, we have a new trailer with a bunch of new details to go over.

For starters, as the featured image above suggests, we have new trainers to play around with. They each have new designs that are very appropriate for the Hawaii-inspired Alola Region along with further character customization.

As Pokémon sequels and updates tend to do, there is a huge amount of returning Pokémon and characters from the previous games in this generation, Sun and Moon. However, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon look to be giving certain Pokémon and characters from previous the games that didn’t have much story focus more time in the spotlight here. This is exemplified by various scenes showed off in the trailer and the one narrative element we know so far.

So far, all we know for sure about this story is that it will have a big focus on Necrozma. Originally just the final Ultra Beast to catch and forget about in Sun and Moon, Necrozma is now darkening the skies of Alola and it’s up to the player to find out why.

As for other characters shown off in the trailer, the flying-type Elite Four member looks to have a place in this story, along with Ryuki, one of the many challengers you can fight as champion. Both characters more or less appeared out of nowhere in the original game, with you meeting them both for the first time in the Pokémon League Championships. Ryuki especially is a character many might not have met since he only appears if you go through the Elite Four again and he is randomly selected as your challenger out of a group of 10. Both are featured in this trailer above any other character besides your own implying that they have a much more substantial role this time around.

There are also various other story elements that get a focus in this new trailer, such as story beats about an Alolan Vulpix, a new foresty and Japan-inspired area, more to do on Exeggutor Island, etc. Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon release for the Nintendo 3DS on November 17th, 2017. More details are promised to be revealed by Nintendo between now and then.

I spend most of my days working towards my Writing and Rhetoric degree at the University of Central Florida, but I spend a lot of my down time keeping up to date on the best TV, movies, and video games the industry has to offer. Here I put all of that extended time to use discussing each of them in-depth.

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.
