Batman: Arkham Knight

Descend into the besieged streets of Arkham City as DC’s most-iconic crime-fighting crusader in Rocksteady’s neo-noir action adventure and explosive finale to the Arkham series.

Pull on the legendary black cowl and explore the vast neon metropolis, grappling up walls and vaulting across rooftops, gliding between buildings, or tearing through the streets in the super-powered Batmobile.

Go up against some of the caped crusader’s most iconic enemies, including Scarecrow, Harley Quinn, Killer Croc and more, using brutal hand-to-hand combat and an array of gadgets to liberate the over-run city once and for all.

Are you ready to become the Batman?

Darksiders III

A visceral hack-and-slash action adventure, Darksiders III places you in a dark fantasy world filled with diverse environments, dangerous foes, hidden secrets, and weapons and abilities to unlock.

Take on the role of Fury, the most unpredictable and enigmatic of the Four Horseman, as she returns to the scorched Earth to hunt down and destroy the Seven Deadly Sins. Track down each of the Seven Deadly Sins, slay their minions, and restore the balance between good and evil on Earth.

Let the apocalypse begin…

These titles will be available for PS Plus subscribers from September 3rd to the 30th.

LCG Entertainment has announced that they have purchased Telltale Games. In the purchase, LCG Entertainment will do business as Telltale Games. Key assets, trademarks, and several IPs were included in the purchase. The new company will work to re-release select games from the back catalog of Telltale Games as well as develop new games in some of the company’s best selling brands. The purchase was led by Jamie Ottilie and Brian Waddle. Here’s a quote from the new CEO of Telltale Games, Jamie Ottilie:

“All of us were big fans of the games Telltale created, as we strongly believe in games as a storytelling medium and nobody did it better,” said Jamie Ottilie, CEO of the new Telltale Games. “Even now, when you see a game with strong narrative, it’s always compared to Telltale, so it’s no surprise that players and industry colleagues alike mourned the studio’s closure. We believe there is still so much life to the brand and its franchises, and we look forward to building upon the company’s storytelling legacy.”

Rainbow Six Siege details Operation Ember Rise and Kanal rework

Operation Ember Rise is getting closer and closer and as we continue to impatiently wait, Rainbow Six Siege hasn’t provide us a huge list of upcoming updates along with the rework of a fan favorite map Kanal.

In a tweet posted today, the official Rainbow Six Siege account posted a four and a half minute video that shows before and after shots of Kanal where all the detailed changes are presented to you in a cinematic form. Along with the video, they also gave us a huge update on what to expect in the next big update and the future seasons.

The two new operators that will coming at us soon are Amaru and Goyo.  Season Pass owners will be able to instantly play these new operators day one while non Season Pass owners will have to wait a week and purchase them with R6 Credits or Renown.

Amaru is an Attack Operator armed with a grappling hook that allows her to quickly breach through windows that can’t be easily reached by others or ascend up through ceiling panels that are impossible to climb to by any other Operator. Her hook only has four uses and there’s a cooldown timer after she fires it out, so it’s best used for recon or flanking Defenders, not escaping from ambushes.

Goyo is a Defend Operator who can place a single portable shield that’s been booby-trapped with a Volcan charge. Destroying the shield causes it to explode and engulf the floor in flames, dealing heavy damage to any Operator in the immediate area.

For a look at all the big changes coming our way you can go HERE to to see what’s ahead.

On the heels of both The Lion King and Aladdin remakes released this year, Disney has announced at a Gamestop event that both the SNES and Genesis versions are getting remakes this October on all major platforms. (PS4, XBO, Switch and PC)

Since then, Publisher Nighthawk Interactive and Developer Digital Eclipse have revealed that both Aladdin and The Lion King will be playable in both original and 1080p resolutions. Physical and Digital copies will be available for $29.99. You’ll also be able to fast forward and rewind as well as the ability to show how to clear the stage. It seems like they omitted the SNES version of Aladdin due to Capcom not being able to obtain the rights from Disney.
