Briefly: I’m still having fun driving Tim Burton’s Batmobile around in Batman: Arkham Knight, and now Rocksteady has gone and dropped a ton of new DLC on us, just in time for the holidays!

The game’s latest expansion, ‘Season of Infamy: Most Wanted’ is available now for PS4, Xbox One, and PC (yes, the PC version is available again), Season Pass holders right now, and it’s also available to purchase separately. The expansion actually sounds fairly substantial (especially in comparison to some of Arkham Knight‘s other DLC), so if you’re at or nearing full completion with the title, this latest update should definitely give you a reason to pick the title up again.

In the expansion, you’ll fight back against The Dark Knight’s biggest foes in four separate missions, with all new story arcs featuring DC Comics characters The Mad Hatter, Killer Croc, Ra’s Al Ghul and Mr. Freeze. Here are a few details on each mission:

-Wonderland: The Mad Hatter makes things personal as the Super-Villain lures Batman into a demented, hallucinatory battle of wits across Gotham City and within the pages of a twisted story book.

 

-Beneath The Surface: The World’s Greatest Detective and Nightwing venture out to investigate Iron Heights, a flying airship prison that housed Killer Croc, after it crashed in the waters surrounding Gotham City.

 

-Shadow War: Picking up after the events of Batman: Arkham City, Batman’s devout moral code is pushed to its limits as Ra’s Al Ghul’s health rebounds with the help of the League of Assassins.

 

-In From The Cold: Mr. Freeze returns to Gotham City, where he is immediately entrapped in Arkham Knight’s Militia and Scarecrow’s plan to destroy Batman. Arkham Knight’s Militia has kidnapped Nora and will return her to Mr. Freeze in exchange for Batman’s capture.

A myriad of other content and skins are also available now (including some free updates)! Here’s the rest of Arkham Knight‘s December content:

-Crime Fighter Challenge Pack #5: Combat and invisible predator maps featuring Batman, the Batmobile, Nightwing, Azrael,

 

-2008 Movie Batman Skin: Patrol the streets of Gotham City with this Batsuit inspired by the 2008 movie “The Dark Knight”.

 

-Original Arkham Batmobile: Seize control from Gotham City’s most notorious villains with the original Arkham Asylum Batmobile.

 

-Rocksteady Themed Batmobile Skin: Customize the legendary Batmobile with this unique Rocksteady themed skin.

 

-Batman: Noel Skin: Face your foes with this reinforced leather suit from the Batman: Noel comic (previously a DC Comics exclusive).

 

Free Updates:

 

-Batsuit v8.05 – Prestige Edition: Players can access this suit after reaching 240% game completion.

 

-Classic Harley Quinn Skin: Players who own the Harley Quinn Story Pack or Crime Fighter Challenge Pack #5 can select this Harley Skin, which can be used in the Harley Story Pack or in AR Challenges, from the character showcase.

 

-Arkham Knight Skin: Players who own the Red Hood Story Pack can select this skin from the character showcase for Red Hood, allowing them to look like the Arkham Knight in the Red Hood Story Pack and AR Challenges.

Of course, reading all of that isn’t nearly as fun as watching it all in action, so take a look at the trailer below! Again, all of this content is available right now!

Are you planning to pick up ‘Season of Infamy: Most Wanted’? As negative as my Geekscape Games coworkers have been about Arkham Knight throughout the year, I’ve been having an absolute blast with what I’ve played from the title! Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

Briefly: This game seriously can’t come soon enough.

Rocksteady has just released seven minutes of gameplay footage from next month’s Batman: Arkham Knight, captured directly from the PS4 version of the game.

If you haven’t realized it from the numerous other trailers and previews, this game is insanely gorgeous, and incredibly smooth looking. Watching Bats fly around in this video is some of the most exciting open world travel I’ve seen in some time.

The video shows Batman meeting up with a familiar face before doing some destruction in the Batmobile. From all of the footage we’ve seen thus far, it looks like we’ll be spending quite a bit of time traversing terrain in the vehicle, and I couldn’t be more excited to try it out.

Take a look at the footage below, and let us know what you’re most excited to see in Batman: Arkham Knight.

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 live action trailer titled ‘Be the Batman’ has just hit the web, encouraging all of us to show off many of the qualities that Bats does. 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. Take a look at the trailer below, and let us know what you’re most looking forward to in the title!

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?

I won’t argue with you the necessity of Batman utilizing heavy firepower in his vehicles to combat tanks and aircrafts. I get it, and it’s not like Batman hasn’t used guns before. But with the way most Batman fans rally behind the Dark Knight’s anti-firepower philosophy, it’s really off-putting seeing a version of Batman unleash more lead than a dozen Expendables movies all directed by John Woo.

But enough of that! You came to see Part 2 of the new “Ace Chemicals Infiltration” trailer for Batman: Arkham Knight, because even video game trailers get The Hobbit treatment!

Despite the snark (I can’t help it), this looks like a ton of fun. It’s a gameplay trailer and not pre-rendered, as in this is what the actual game looks like, sans all the fancy camera angles, slo-mo and editing. I still haven’t gotten any of the new-generation consoles, but when Batman: Arkham Knight is released next summer that will be rectified.

In this trailer Batman is going up against the Arkham Knight’s heavily armed militia and drone tanks. That’s a great wave-off to cause destruction, but don’t you think Batman’s foes would have figured out his unwillingness to kill can be used to their advantage?

Oh my God, I sound like a villain. Don’t tell the bat!
