Warner Bros. Interactive and Monolith have jointly announced a formal release date for the pair’s upcoming downloadable team-based first-person person shooter, Gotham City Impostors!
If you thought that Batman: Arkham City would be a critical and commercial smash hit following its release last week… you would be very correct.
Warner Bros. Interactive has just announced that Rocksteady Studios’ latest Batman action adventure title has gone on to sell over four million units during its first week on sale.
After our recent interview with Rocksteady Studio’s lead narrative designer Paul Crocker, and following our excellent discussions on the story of Batman: Arkham City and the work that went into the game’s narrative, we were handed a matte finish black folder.
At first, we didn’t know what it was - it looked so clean and sharp - and if we hadn’t been told it was a press kit for Batman: Arkham City, we would have thought it was a bonus included in a special collector’s edition of the game.
We’ve snapped a few quick photos of the magnificent Batman: Arkham City press kit as its contents exploded over a desk - glimpse newspaper clippings, character bios, blueprints and other awesome stuff from the world of Batman:
The number of characters included in Batman: Arkham City is increasing with what seems like every passing day, with full looks and quick glimpses at personalities such as The Riddler, The Penguin, Two-Face, Joker, Harley Quinn and even Bane.
Very recently, publisher Warner Bros. Interactive announced a new character that will play a part in Batman’s next mighty videogame adventures, Talia al Ghul, while also revealing who will be playing this “complex character.”
DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment have just formally announced a collector’s edition for Batman: Arkham City with images and details of the special package’s contents, too.
Available on launch of Rocksteady’s next amazingly exciting action adventure game in October across Europe and South Africa, this Batman: Arkham City collector’s edition will contain the following awesome-looking items:
Alongside a ‘Fall’ release window announcement for Warner Bros. Interactive and Snowblind Studios’ fantasy-themed action game RPG, Lord of the Rings: War in the North, the pair have released details and images for the game’s (massive) Collector’s Edition, with information on pre-order incentives available in North America.
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and NetherRealm Studios are eager to let everyone know that the promised Skarlet downloadable content is now available for Mortal Kombat, the publisher and developer’s outstanding (and brutal) fighter.
Both SEGA and Warner Bros. Interactive brought games to E3 2011 that weren’t entirely known quantities while further demonstrating some of their upcoming titles that will, at the absolute very least, find die-hard fans in amongst the gaming masses.
Let’s take a look at SEGA and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment’s biggest titles at E3 this year:
Warner Bros. Interactive and Snowblind Studios were showing the pair’s fantasy action title The Lord of the Rings: War in the North at E3 2011 this week with a frenzy of brand new screenshots, gameplay demonstrations and an awesome look at Beleram of the Great Eagles.
The cooperative elements of War in the North were also showcased as ‘the Fellowship of three’ (the human, elf and dwarf) banded together to forge ahead in an effort to overthrow Agandaur, Sauron’s chief lieutenant in the North.
After receiving that horrific and impressive FEAR 3 press kit the other day, we became anxious about absorbing every last piece of information on the game that we could, so luckily there were a few gameplay and feature trailers waiting in the wings to satiate this desire.
Discover one of FEAR 3’s multiplayer modes, Soul King, in a bloody and brutal video, and find out about the game’s ‘lethal scoring’ system which will pit your first-person killing skills against online players around the world:
Today, something quite disturbing arrived at my door. Something creepy… and even a little scary. At first, I couldn’t look past the dashes of bloody fingerprints and streaks of crimson gore smeared on it, but after a cursory glance my interest was well and truly piqued.
I couldn’t stop examining it and flicking through its contents, trying to put together the clues – if they even were clues – to get to the bottom of its mystery.
Today, I received a family photo album, and it’s horrific. And entirely awesome.
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and TT Games have just announced that LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 will be available at the tail-end of this year across all formats, continuing the block-based adventures of Harry Potter while covering the stories of the last three books in the franchise (or the last four films, as you please).
Just what has long-standing developer Monolith been working on since its FEAR days? If you were hoping that the answer was ‘A sequel to NOLF’ or even ‘A sequel to SHOGO,’ then you’re going to be disappointed.
If, however, you were hoping that the answer was ‘A downloadable first-person shooter set in the Batman universe,’ then start getting very excited.
So here we are again with news of a FEAR 3 delay.
FEAR 3 from Warner Bros. Interactive and Day 1 Studios was originally due for release at the end of 2010, but was subsequently delayed into ‘early 2011.’ This was followed up with an official release date window… and then another delay with a new release date of May 27th in Europe.
Now, we’ve learned that FEAR 3 will in fact only arrive on retail shelves at the tail-end of June around the world…
The story of FEAR is surprisingly complicated, what with prototypical soldiers, a ghastly ‘mother’ figure, sibling rivalry, psychic connections and hellish visions – and that’s all before a single shot is fired in an attempt to destroy super soldiers, demons and other monstrosities in stylish slow-motion combat.
Luckily, the folks over at Warner Bros. Interactive and Day 1 Studios have released a handy video to summarise the story of FEAR, and consequently FEAR 3, as the demonic Paxton Fettel narrates the tale of his brother, his mother… and blood:
