Batman: Arkham City shows off Catwoman in action

Gotham City just can’t catch a break. Seriously, the insurance for a homeowner in that town must be astronomical, what with the nearly continuous stream of costumed psychopaths and frequent events that threaten the lives of Gothamites. Perhaps people should consider moving. Tulsa is lovely this time of year.

But the citizens of Gotham City’s misfortune is our gain as the upcoming sequel, Batman: Arkham City, once again prepares to throw you back into the life of Batman as he faces off against some of the worst of his rogues gallery. But this time Bats won’t be alone: Joining him as a playable character is Catwoman.

Catwoman will have her own storyline within the game, and according to Gamestop (who snagged an exclusive look at the game), she is part of the single player campaign, unlike the addition of Joker as a playable fighter in the challenge modes in Batman: Arkham Asylum. As the story progress, you will switch between Batman and Catwoman, but unlike Batman, who relies on martial arts and strong attacks, Catwoman will use more acrobatics.

Check out Catwoman in action below, and look for Batman: Arkham City on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 on October 18.

The Elder Scrolls 6: release date speculation, rumors, news, and more
The Elder Scrolls

The Elder Scrolls 6 was first revealed over five years ago with a 36-second announcement trailer. Unfortunately, there hasn't been a lot of concrete news on the title since.

Now that Bethesda has launched Starfield — the developer's first brand-new IP in 25 years — with great success despite plenty of criticism on the game's advertised scale versus its gameplay, it goes without saying that the studio will be shifting to the next installment in the Elder Scrolls series. The new title will be building off the wild success of its predecessor Skyrim (which made the cut for Digital Trends' top 50 video games of all time) and MMO The Elder Scrolls Online.

Here's what we know so far about when the Stardew Valley 1.6 update is coming to consoles.
When is Stardew Valley update 1.6 coming to consoles?
Unfortunately, we don't have an immediate answer regarding when Stardew Valley update 1.6 will land on consoles, though we do know it's on the way in the near future. In a social media post on April 26, developer ConcernedApe gave a minor update on the console versions of the newest update, saying, "Console and mobile ports are still in progress, thank you again for your continued patience!" This doesn't answer much, but it should at least give console players the peace of mind that the update is still headed their way and will be available as soon as possible.

In the meantime, you can check out Stardew Valley's 1.6 patch notes to see everything new in the update, which includes a wide variety of bug fixes, translation changes, and gameplay improvements that should make most players happy.
