Happy weekend fromFextralife! If you’ve been too busy to keep up on the latest in the games we cover or are looking for a refresher, we’ve got your back. Let’s take a look at the comings and goings across theFextralifeWiki Network. Check out the video above and read on for the text!
Bloodborne
In the past week, a video emerged from YouTube channel Sanadsk that showcased gameplay on one of Bloodborne’s unused bosses. And if you remember a little while back, they’re the same folks whouneartheda wealth of never-before-seenBloodborneassets, which consisted of cutbosses,NPCsand the like from the game’s data.
The enemy featured in the video appears to be a mixture of a Cleric Beast, Darkbeast Paarl, Watchdog of the Old Lords, and others, in both appearance and movesets. This footage gives us an amazing look at the type of content that could have been playable in FromSoft’s brutal action-RPG. You can check out the vile creature yourself as well as more of Bloodborne’sunseen content, right here on theblog.
Monster Hunter: World
If you missed out on the recentMonster Hunter: WorldBeta, well you’re in luck! As Capcom kicked off an Open Beta for their highly-anticipated action-RPG on the 22nd of December, which will run through the 26th. Unfortunately, it’s once again a PlayStation 4 exclusive. However, being an Open Beta means that a PS Plus subscription is no long required and that all PS4 owners can now join in on the hunt. So get on your Sony console and grab the Beta, and if you participated prior, you can reuse your old client. For more info on this, you can find it on theblog.
And in other Monster Hunter: World related news, the game’s producer has revealed its campaign length to be over 50 hours long, but of course, it largely depends on a player’s pacing and style, so your mileage may vary. Considering that most RPGs are around the 30 - 40 hour mark, having at that much game time is certainly quite the value itself. Furthermore, the developer expanded on the type of DLC, both free and paid, that we can expect for Monster Hunter: World. And you’re able to read the complete story, here on theblog.
Bandai Namco’s latestCODE VEINtrailer is quite the treat and has something for everyone as it features a nice blend of Souls-likegameplay, and in-game cut scenes, along with a nice helping of studio Ufotable’s animation. The video’s anime segments were part of the previously revealed screenshots, which you can check out on theblogif you haven’t already. It also gives us a sampling ofCODE VEIN‘s English dubbing, and with the entire show set to music from Japanese rock duo, Vamps.

CRPG fans rejoice there’s a new, but yet to be announced game brewing from RPG veterans Obsidian Entertainment, who’s currently in a partnership with newly-founded publishing label, Private Division. This mystery game from the notable developer will be led by Fallout’s co-creators Tim Cain and Leon Boyarsky. However, at the moment there is not a whole lot of information on the title. But, we do know a little bit about their fresh publisher.
Private Division was put together recently by Take-Two Interactive and with the aim of fostering titles from some of gaming’s top indie developers which also includes other studios working on new IPs such as Project Wight, an upcoming RPG from studio ‘The Outsiders" that was formed by ex-DICE developers, and others.

This all began when a member from the ResetEra website called “Wrestleman”, opened up a thread with a set of images showing the area.
These images featured protagonist Sora, along with Donald and Goofy, donning monster costumes much like the human character Boo, from the movie itself. We also get to see the movie’s star duo, Sully and Mike Wazowski in those screenshots.
