bringing you the latest updates from the gaming world. This week, we have a lot to cover, including exciting RPG updates, an upcoming open beta for a new mech game, a notable game delay, and Capcom’s ambitious plans for their Versus series. So, let’s dive into it!
RPG Updates: Weathering Waves and Phantom Blade Zero
Weathering Waves Coming to PS5
In a significant announcement at ChinaJoy 2024, Kuro Games confirmed that their successful free-to-play RPG, Weathering Waves, will be coming to PlayStation 5. This news, while not entirely surprising given the trend of similar games, has been eagerly awaited by fans.
Weathering Waves is currently available on iOS, Android, and PC, with a dedicated client on PC and availability through the Epic Games Store. This expansion to PS5 is a testament to the game’s growing popularity and its developers’ commitment to reaching a broader audience.
Phantom Blade Zero: Accessible Hack-and-Slash Action
Phantom Blade Zero, developed with a focus on accessibility, is set to arrive soon. The developers have made it clear that this game is not Souls-like but rather a fast-paced hack-and-slash reminiscent of games like Devil May Cry, Bayonetta, and Ninja Gaiden.
Inspired by Chinese folklore, Phantom Blade Zero offers a unique combat experience that combines elements of John Woo films and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The game aims to provide a more accessible and enjoyable action RPG experience, appealing to players who may find traditional Souls-like games too challenging.
Game Delay: Stalker 2 Pushed Back
Stalker 2 Delayed to November 2024
In a recent announcement, the developers of Stalker 2 have delayed the game’s release by two months to fix more “unexpected anomalies.” Originally slated for a September release, the game will now launch on November 20, 2024.
While game delays can be disappointing, they often lead to a more polished final product. The additional time will allow the developers to address bugs and issues, ensuring a better experience for players at launch. Stalker 2 will also be available on Game Pass, offering a cost-effective way for players to enjoy the game.
Open Beta Announcement: Mecha Break
Mecha Break Open Beta Dates and New Trailers
Amazing SeeSome Games has announced open beta dates for their upcoming mech multiplayer game, Mecha Break. The open beta will run from August 10th to August 13th, with a limited access test for previous testers from August 2nd to August 8th.
Mecha Break is a fast-paced 6v6 multiplayer game, similar in style to Overwatch but with a mech-focused twist. The beta will test the 6v6 mode, with other modes such as a 3v3 Arena and a 60-player PvE VP option available post-launch. Interested players can register for the beta on the game’s Steam page.
Capcom’s Future Plans: Expanding the Versus Series
Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection and Future Projects
Capcom has exciting plans for their versus series, including the recently announced Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection. In an interview with IGN, producer Matsumoto discussed the future of the series and Capcom’s desire to bring more legacy fighting games to modern platforms.
Matsumoto emphasized the importance of re-releasing classic titles to familiarize new players with these games while also satisfying long-time fans. Capcom’s goal is to make these games as accessible as possible, paving the way for potential new entries in the versus series.
Preserving Classic Games
Capcom’s commitment to preserving their classic games is commendable. By re-releasing these titles, they ensure that newer generations of players can experience the games that defined the genre. The Marvel vs.
Capcom Fighting Collection is a step in this direction, with hopes that successful sales will lead to more remasters and possibly new titles. The producer hinted at the challenges of collaborating with non-Capcom parties but expressed optimism about the future of the series.
Conclusion
This week’s gaming news brings exciting updates for RPG enthusiasts, mech game fans, and followers of Capcom’s iconic Versus series. Weathering Waves’ PS5 announcement, Phantom Blade Zero’s unique gameplay approach, and the upcoming Mecha Break open beta offer plenty to look forward to.
While Stalker 2’s delay might be disappointing, it promises a more polished final product. Capcom’s plans to expand and preserve their classic fighting games are also a promising development for the future of the Versus series.
