Briefly: Now that Hideo Kojima and Guillermo Del Toro’s Silent Hills has been cancelled, I don’t really want to be a gamer any more.

Sure, I’m slightly exaggerating, but if I wasn’t, I would at least wait for Batman: Arkham Knight to finally hit the PS4 and Xbox One before throwing my consoles up on eBay. Seriously, this game looks magical.

A new trailer for the game has just hit the web, reminding us (again) just how freaking gorgeous Arkham Knight looks, and also showing off the title’s “new “Dual Play” feature in action, which will allow players to seamlessly switch between The Dark Knight and his allies including Robin, Nightwing, and Catwoman in FreeFlow Combat.”

We’ve been waiting for this one for what seems like forever now, and really, June 23rd can’t come soon enough. The M-rated Batman: Arkham Knight is set to launch for Xbox One, PS4, and PC. Let us know what you’re most looking forward to in the title!

Briefly: Just one day after the game received a surprising ‘M’ rating from the ESRB, Rocksteady has debuted a gorgeous new trailer for this Summer’s Batman: Arkham Knight.

The trailer “features a closer look at some of the story’s most infamous super-villains. As Scarecrow unites the Rogues Gallery, including Two-Face, The Penguin, the Riddler, the Arkham Knight, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy, they bring all-out war as they try to take down The Dark Knight, and claim Gotham City as their own.”

Despite the game having the Arkham Knight in the title, this trailer sure shows off quite a lot of Scarecrow. It’ll be interesting to see how Arkham Knight presents himself as the true villain of the title (if that’s even the case).

In any case, take a look at the new trailer below, and let us know how excited you are for Batman: Arkham Knight to release on June 2nd! Remember that this one is current-gen only, so you’ll need a PS4 or Xbox One to experience it!

Briefly: With just a few months to go until Batman: Arkham Knight finally releases, the game has officially received its ESRB rating, and its one that may surprise you.

While Rocksteady’s Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, and Warner Bros. Interactive’s Arkham Origins all received T ratings, the upcoming Arkham Knight has officially received an M rating from the ratings board.

Arkham Knight game director Sefton Hill touched on the rating in a conversation with IGN, stating that  “From our point of view, we never wrote it or made it with a rating in mind. We never did that in the previous two games… We just felt that this is the story that we really wanted to tell.”

With all of the broken promises we’ve seen in video games over the past year (see Watch Dogs and The Order: 1886 for example), I love the fact that Rocksteady is unwilling to compromise the experience that they’re trying to deliver, from the game’s delay last year, and now this.

Hill continued, “I’m not blind to the fact that [the M rating] does mean some fans will miss out… I don’t want to be oblivious to that fact. It would have been wrong to water down the game and deliver a story we didn’t believe in to keep the game ‘mass market’ or enable it for more people. We feel that’s the wrong way to go about it. We said we love the story and we don’t want to jepoardize that.”

June 2nd can’t come soon enough. Batman: Arkham Knight is one of the few titles that I’ve felt confident enough to pre-order, which these days is sure saying something. Are you looking forward to this one?
