Those who pre-order from the Xbox store will get access to a loadout weapon and custom skin on its multiplayer mode Warzone. There are other pre-order bonuses from other retailers.

Stella Glow Demo Coming to 3DS on October 27th

Posted on October 15, 2015 by Jason Nason

With the release of Stella Glow set for November, Atlus has announced that they will release a demo for the game. The demo will give gamers a taste of the game’s combat, voice acting, cutscenes and soundtrack. The down side is that unlike some other demos this one won’t allow you to save your progress into the full version of the game.

But at least you’ll get to try before you buy, which is becoming a great trend.

The demo will feature the entire prologue of the game as a playable demo. The demo will be available in the Nintendo 3DS eShop on October 27th.

Activision has posted a short video on their YouTube channel outlining some of the tactical abilities and vision modes that will aid combatants in the game’s online multiplayer.

Tactical Mode – Allows you to see the distance enemies are away from you as well as the position of snipers and other ordinances on the battlefield.

Also shown are Tactical Rigs which allow you to enable capabilities beyond that of traditional soldiers. Some examples include ’emergency reserve’ which will revive your solider once they enter bleed out or Copycat (which some of you might remember from Modern Warfare 2) which allows you to clone the load-out of the last player that fragged you.
