Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment today announced that Batman: Return to Arkham, which bundles Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City, will be available in the UK this Friday (21st October) for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One for £39.99.

Batman - Return to Arkham PS3 vs PS4
The new release is remastered by Virtuos and brings the two critically acclaimed games, including all Game of the Year and downloadable content from both titles, to the current generation of consoles with improved graphics, as well as upgraded models, environments, lighting, effects and shaders.

Batman: Return to Arkham launches in Australia and New Zealand 19th October and other international territories 21st October for a suggested retail price of £39.99/$49.99/€49.99.
“Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City are two classic games from one of the studios and we’ve worked diligently with Virtuos to deliver an experience that fans will equally enjoy on the current generation of consoles,” said Steven Chiang, Executive Vice President, Worldwide Production and Studios, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.  “We’re excited for players to delve deep into these games, whether they’ve already experienced the games or are jumping in for the first time.”
Originally developed by Rocksteady Studios and released back in 2009, Batman: Arkham Asylum is where it all started.  The game set the stage for DC’s “Arkhamverse” that fans know and love today, and introduced players to a unique, dark and atmospheric adventure that takes players to the depths of Arkham Asylum. Featuring an original story, gamers can move in the shadows, instill fear amongst their enemies and confront The Joker and Gotham City’s most notorious villains, including Harley Quinn, Bane, Killer Croc, Poison Ivy and Scarecrow, who have taken over the asylum.

Batman: Arkham City is Rocksteady Studios’ 2011 follow-up that builds upon the intense, atmospheric foundation of Batman: Arkham Asylum.  Earning a 96 Metacritic score, the game sends players soaring through the expansive Arkham City – the maximum security “home” for all of Gotham City’s thugs, gangsters and insane criminal masterminds.  Featuring an incredible Rogues Gallery of Gotham City’s most dangerous criminals including Catwoman, The Joker, The Riddler, Two-Face, Harley Quinn, The Penguin, Mr. Freeze and many others, the game allows players to experience what it feels like to be The Dark Knight and deliver justice to those confined within Arkham City.

The Elder Scrolls Online – One Tamriel gets massive update

One Tamriel has now launched for Xbox One and PlayStation 4, delivering the biggest update yet for the RPG, The Elder Scrolls Online. One Tamriel completely overhauls the way players adventure in the game and vastly increases player choice and social options by removing Alliance restrictions and introducing game-wide scaling of content. One Tamriel is a free update for all players and is now live PC, Mac, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

In celebration of the launch of One Tamriel, with a “Trip of a Lifetime” Giveaway, awarding five lucky winners with an awe-inspiring adventure in the real world for them and a friend.

One Tamriel delivers the freedom gamers expect from all great Elder Scrolls games with a truly open world and a level-scaled environment. Adventurers can now go anywhere, with anyone, at any time from the moment they exit the tutorial.

One Tamriel also removes Alliance restrictions outside of PvP, allowing players to group with any player in the world, no matter their allegiance. This change makes it much easier for players to find pick-up groups for questing, dungeons, and trials, and expands the opportunity for guilds to assemble more diverse dungeon and trial groups.

Additional major improvements and updates to the game include:

  • Dueling: Players can now battle each other anywhere outside Cyrodiil to test their skills and builds and claim bragging rights as the toughest adventurer
  • Zone Overhaul: All zones have been redesigned for a mix of solo and group play with improved bosses and standardized difficulty
  • Dungeons: All dungeons can be played in normal and veteran mode, where story is separated from difficulty and players are battle-leveled to allow players of different levels to play together, and receive level-appropriate loot
  • Craglorn: The massive Craglorn zone has been redesigned to make it solo-friendly but still the go-to location for group content
  • Loot: Loot in zones has now been standardized like dungeon loot, making it possible to acquire specific sets in specific zones at whatever level you are when completing quests

Grand Prize Destinations – Winners Choose One of the Five:

  • Elsweyr Package | Kenya & Tanzania: Seek out real-life Khajiit on an African safari as you visit national parks, game reserves, and conservation areas in Kenya and Tanzania.
  • Skyrim Package | Switzerland: Hunt for dragons amid the snowcapped peaks of the Swiss Alps, exploring the lands of the famed Eiger and Matterhorn.

Mordheim: City of the Damned lands on PS4 and Xbox One today

After seducing a large number of players on PC with its brutal and tactical gameplay, Mordheim: City of the Damned is available today for download on PS4 and Xbox One. With Mordheim: City of the Damned, the first video game adaptation of Games Workshop’s cult classic, it’s a turn-based tactical game in which you lead your Warband into bloody and lethal skirmishes. The game blends RPG elements, fast-paced tactical combat and intricate unit customization in a time wrought by chaos and rivalry where only the strongest survive.

mordheim-city-of-the-damned

Mordheim: City of the Damned takes place during a grim conflict where factions, empires, and mercenaries fight for gems, called Wyrdstone, created by a comet impact that destroyed the depraved city of Mordheim. It will be your responsibility, amidst this chaos, to take command of your Warband and storm the ruins to battle other parties, avoid abominable monsters, and gather Wyrdstone. Each nail-biting decision has its consequences: Permanent death or crippling injury that could leave your recruits without a limb or an eye.

The game includes a full campaign for each of the four Warbands: The Human Mercenaries, the Sisters of Sigmar, the Skaven of Clan Eshin, and the Cult of the Possessed. Once you feel ready, you can also enlist your single-player Warband to compete in online multiplayer skirmishes!

As an eagle, players glide past historic landmarks and weave through the narrow streets and secret passages. In single-player mode players refine their flying skills and learn new tricks by competing in challenges, and in multiplayer they can face-off in heart-pounding capture-the-prey dogfights for up to three vs three players.

Eagle Flight, developed specifically for VR, emphasises accessibility and comfort. The game features a breakthrough in VR control technology that provides players with natural and precise movement controls.

The game is very intuitive, so novice players can simply boot up the game and fly at their own pace with ease. For more seasoned players looking for a more intense experience, they can jump into the single player challenges or into a multiplayer match where they will have to expertly navigate the streets, skies and underground of Paris as they try to capture their prey and defeat their opponents.”
