More Batman games in the works following Batman: Arkham City

According to a report from CVG, Rocksteady has confirmed that it intends to continue developing Batman games following Batman: Arkham City.

While that isn’t a massive surprise given the popularity of Batman: Arkham Asylum and the hype proceeding Batman: Arkham City, but it is nice to hear that Rocksteady has enough confidence in its upcoming Batman title that it is already looking beyond to the next project.

“I mean I think as long as we’re still enjoying it and as long as we feel we can contribute to the Batman universe,” Rocksteady’s Dax Ginn told CVG when asked how long they could continue churning out Batman titles. “That’s how it feels.

“There’s some amazing stuff going on with Batman all around the world at the moment and we feel as though we’re making our own little contribution in the form of the Arkham-verse.

“So as long as we’ve got stories to tell,” he said. “So long as we feel we can do that and do that really well.”

The gap between Arkham Asylum and Arkham City was just two years, so could we see a new Batman in 2013?

Batman: Arkham City will debut on the PS3 and Xbox 360 on October 18. A PC version has been delayed until November.

That somber process gives way to a domestic mystery that sends Tess and her mother, Opal, on a road trip to discover the family’s secret past.

PlayStation Plus’ most notable free April offerings come from Microsoft
Four players stand together in the 4v4 PvP mode of Minecraft Legends.

Sony outlined all the new offerings PlayStation Plus Essential subscribers can expect in April; surprisingly, Microsoft is the company behind two of this month's four offerings, Minecraft Legends, and the Overwatch 2 Mega Bundle.

On April 2, PS Plus can get those two things free of charge in addition to Immortals of Aveum and Skul: The Hero Slayer. Immortals of Aveum is a single-player shooter where players use magic instead of weapons. Although the thing it's most notable for is flopping upon its release, Immortals of Aveum is still a solid shooter that you might have missed out on, and you should give it a shot now that you can get it through PS Plus. Meanwhile, Skul: The Hero Slayer is a tough 2D platformer roguelike that should entertain fans of that genre for quite some time.
