Be wary of the “bad kitty” when you meet the newest Champion in the Infinite Crisis roster – Catwoman! Get the first look at this cat burglar’s skills via a brand new video below. Before this new Champion is added to the in-game line-up on 30th September. Infinite Crisis is an upcoming multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) set in the legendary DC Multiverse and in development by Turbine.
As Gotham City master criminal turned mischievous vigilante, Catwoman’s attitude starts fights as quickly as her martial prowess ends them. After her mother’s suicide, Selina Kyle’s father drank himself to an early grave. Selina was moved to an abusive state home from which she quickly escaped, taking to the streets. Petty thievery quickly became talented burglary, until she encountered Batman. The two soon discovered a mutual attraction, but due to… complications, neither party has ever fully committed to a romantic relationship.
Catlike reflexes, mastery of the martial arts, and a deadly whip make Catwoman a formidable and resourceful opponent.

Stalk around in a dark, eerie, moonlit, environment – the perfect setting for some serious stealth – in the Hometown map. Bookstore features a stacked, bi-level layout adding a highly unique dose of vertical gameplay. Excited yet? These maps will be available October 15.
When we initially talked about the Season Pass we mentioned making our first ever story-driven single player DLC. This is an ambitious story with strong ties into the narrative of The Last of Us. We just wrapped up a long casting process for a new character, and we’re starting our performance capture shoot next week. The single-player DLC is currently planned for release around the December-January timeframe.
Our third Season Pass DLC is multiplayer focused and will arrive in the first half of 2014. We’ll start to reveal more information and a release timeframe as soon as we’ve worked out those details.
To make the wait a little bit easier, we’re adding bonus items to the Season Pass. We have over 60 different head items for your multiplayer character ranging from a Nightmare Mask to a Pigskin Hat that will be free for all Season Pass buyers. These head items will be available a la carte as well, but it’s a tremendous added value for all Season Pass holders.

At London’s Eurogamer Expo 2013, Turn 10 Studios unveiled a new video showcasing the first ever direct-feed gameplay footage of the Xbox One exclusive game, Forza Motorsport 5.
The footage features the 2012 Pagani Huayra racing in the snowy elevations of the Bernese Alps circuit.
The Bernese Alps circuit first made its debut in Forza Motorsport 4 and has been completely rebuilt in Forza Motorsport 5. Inspired by the Swiss Alps, the Bernese Alps circuit features stunning elevation changes and a variety of sweeping and challenging corners and is a showcase for the new graphics engine that powers Forza Motorsport 5 on Xbox One. From the physically-based materials system that re-creates every surface precisely as it looks in real life to the vastly improved lighting engine that brings the stunning beauty of the track to life, the Bernese Alps in Forza Motorsport 5 is a masterful marriage of innovative technology and pulse-pounding beauty, all running at gorgeous 1080p resolution and at 60 frames per second.
Career Mode Details
Designed to spotlight the hundreds of drivable cars in Forza Motorsport 5, the all-new career mode is organised into eight leagues, with each league covering a special “genre” of car (such as supercars, vintage, sports compacts, and more). Each set of career events will feature a video introduction with commentary provided by the hosts of the UK version of the worldwide smash automotive entertainment show, Top Gear.
Unlike traditional racing game career modes – where players move from low-performance cars and are forcefully guided into more powerful cars over time – the career mode in Forza Motorsport 5 gives players the power to choose their own paths through the career. Players will have the choice to participate in whichever career mode events they like, provided they own a car that meets an event’s requirements, and can return to those events as many times as they like, all the while earning credits and experience as they go.
Silverstone Circuit Announced
The Silverstone Circuit makes its return to the Forza Motorsport franchise, built from the ground up to feature the current track layout that has been in place since 2010. Known as the “home of British Motor Racing,” the Silverstone Circuit is 3.6 miles long and features 18 corners ranging from high-speed sweepers such as Woodcote to intricate series like the Maggotts and Becketts corners. The Silverstone Circuit was laser-scanned during development to provide the most accurate rendering of the circuit to be found in any racing game.
Forza Motorsport 5 is available for pre-order now at participating retailers and will be released on November 22nd exclusively for Xbox One. The game is not yet rated.
