Last demo/beta was put up yesterday for predownload. It will be active in a few hours and last only for this weekend. As usual you get those old and a new dlc/helm or something for clearing part of the beta.

You'll get the mask of the Ogress for beating her.

Lots of skill changes this time around, a good chance this is what the final build would look like for spells. I'm still holding out hope for surprised weapon class reveal.

...we present the following for your consideration. Yes, 'modes'.

For the record, same as with William Adams, Edward Kelley is based on a real historic figure.

Also, the Black Samurai "Yasuke" is in this game. Actually black.

From Eurogamer, the intro level of the game.

Spoiler for Wherein is revealed the 'why'...:

And if this game had a Terraria-esque 'aesthetic layer' for armor (a set of armor slots which apply only the appearance of the slotted items, ignoring all requirements and ingame effects/benefits), being able to hang onto the gear acquired here would prove quite amusing.

You can transmog your armor to have the appearance of a gear you like.

You can also 'soul match' your gear to increase their level to a high equipment's level.

Good to hear; both of which features are always welcome. In return, I would share this tidbit: brace your ears, the soundtrack is coming.

So first impressions

Spoiler:

The prelogue was awesome. Basically you are english guy and the baddies here are the english as well. Finally a game were you can dismember english folks and feel good about it. Jokes aside, there are a few issues with the framerate. I'm on a ps4 pro, running in action mode and framerate drops occasionally from time to time (running on the currrent patch 1.01 i think), which is weird, because it drops in scenes, where there isn't much action is taken place. Aside from that, unlike the demos, the AI and enemy numbers are lower :/ Basically most fo the time I feel like I am running around in an empty map, like superman (Usuki map).

I definitely need to stop trying to do all the side missions lol, that's an easy way to get burned out.

Amusingly, one of them is...

Spoiler for Mission details::

...why this game can be said to contain an example of the Battle Couple trope - it culminates with you facing Oda Nobunaga and the yuki-onna from 'Falling Snow' simultaneously. As I understand it, the snow maiden is in fact his wife, Nōhime!

[Chaos2Frozen]

That said, the environments and stages in the main mission are very varied so far.
