One of the locales from Arkham Asylum will return to Arkham City.
Batman: Arkham City is chock full of content and the DLC has already included other heroes from the Batman universe; however, it is still missing one element that was present in the last title - the Batcave. While Arkham Asylum didn't feature the original Batcave, it was a Batcave nonetheless.
Also, a Hori-made arcade stick is coming soon.
If you think the recently released Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 is a glorified DLC pack, then I wonder what you're going to make of the new upcoming DLC costume packs. Capcom has announced that starting next week, alternative costumes will be available for download and will be bundled in various groups. Then, every other week, a new pack will be released. Hori has also announced plans to release an Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 themed fighting stick on December 8, 2011 for $149.99. It'll come with colored buttons or white buttons.
DC Universe players are getting Flashed (ugh) later this year.
The second pack of downloadable content has been announced for DC Universe Online. Titled Lightning Strikes, the DLC includes electricity powers, making it the 8th power set, and a new adventure starring The Flash. Legendary players will get this content for free while other players can purchase the DLC for $9.99.
PlayStation 3 gamers get more free stuff.
Early adopters of the PlayStation 3 version of Saints Row: The Third are getting a little something extra in the coming months. THQ and SCEA posted on the Official PlayStation Blog that those gamers that redeem their online pass before February 13, 2012 will receive a digital copy of Saints Row 2 absolutely free.
After bug fixing delays, Dead Island's first dose of DLC finally arrives.
Dead Island didn’t have what you’d call an ideal launch. The game was released with some significant bugs that hampered some gamers’ ability to progress, especially on the PC, which in turn resulted in Techland delaying the first planned dose of DLC as they elected to spend the time smoothing out the game’s many issues. After the release of last week’s patch it seems that Dead Island may finally be getting on track as further evidenced by the announcement that the delayed DLC will be going live next week.
However, it'll have to fix its problems first.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was released today for the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. If you aren't sure which version to get, maybe this will help: Skyrim's first two DLC packs will be timed exclusives to the Xbox 360. Gamers will get them on the 360 a month before they're released on the PC and PS3.
Who wouldn't want Jin Kazama on their plane?
Namco Bandai is bringing new DLC to Ace Combat Assault Horizon. Two skins resembling two characters from the Tekken series will be available for purchase on November 15, 2011. Jin Kazama and Kazuya Mishima can be put on your Su-35 Flanker-E for 400 Microsoft Points. It will be available for both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
Take the ultimate trip to New Vegas early next year.
Fallout: New Vegas is getting the “Ultimate” treatment early next year with the release of Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition – a complete game that is sure to lure old fans and neophytes alike from the comfort of their vaults.
There's a bloody good time to be had in New Marais.
There has been this perception that Festival of Blood was DLC; that it was some kind of small addition to inFAMOUS 2 which was released earlier this year. It's an easy assumption to make since FoB takes place in New Marais, the New Orleans of InFAMOUS’ fictional world and the setting of Cole’s second adventure. It would only make sense that you would need to have a copy of the game in order to enjoy this expansion, but the lovely folks at Sucker Punch Productions wanted to gift the entire PlayStation 3 community with this gem and as such released it as a stand-alone title.
Why you should never take prisoners.
One of the focal points, and a large source of fun, in Deus Ex: Human Revolution was the ability to radically customize your cybernetic enhancements to specialize yourself into being anything from a hacking wunderkind to a walking tank that spits out death. Unfortunately, once you had set yourself on your chosen path, it was really hard to experiment without another 60+ hour playthrough. Until the Missing Link DLC was released, that is.
