Batman: Arkham City DLC coming on December 20

Although Rocksteady is likely hard at work dreaming up the next Batman game, they aren’t done with Batman: Arkham City just yet.

The Bat-developer loves the idea of downloadable content. So much so that a respectable chunk of the game, ala the Catwoman content, was available for those that purchased the game new. So it isn’t all that surprising to see Rocksteady continue to push out new content for fans that are hungry for more.

Earlier today, Rocksteady announced via its Twitter feed that a new challenge map featuring the Batcave is scheduled for December 20. Also available on the same day will be the Joker Carnival and the Iceberg Lounge, two challenge maps that were originally released as pre-order bonuses only.

Depending on how and where you purchased your copy of Batman: Arkham City, you may have some downloading to do if you want all the content. Along with the Catwoman content that was included with the game, both Nightwing and Robin challenge packs have been released. On December 6, a skin pack featuring several different looks for Batman will be released, followed on the 20th with the new challenge maps.

Rocksteady has already confirmed that there will be more Batman games in the near future, which makes sense, seeing as how Arkham City is among the year’s biggest hits.

3 Xbox Game Pass games you need to play this weekend (May 3-5)
Senua in Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice.

Another weekend is upon us, and you're probably looking for some games to kill time with over the course of it. We're in a bit of a lull right now ahead of a flurry of releases starting next week, so it's a great time to dip back into the Xbox Game Pass catalog and check out some games that you may have missed. There are three games in particular that I think you should check out this weekend if you're looking for something to play.

One is an unsettling adventure that's getting an Xbox-exclusive sequel later this month. The next is a finely animated roguelike indie that recently made its way to Microsoft's gaming subscription service. Finally, there's a relaxing adventure that gives players a lot of freedom, yet is short enough to beat in a weekend. If you're having trouble deciding what to play this weekend, give one of these games a shot.

3 underrated PS Plus games you should play this weekend (May 3-5)
The main character of Tales of Kenzera: Zau stands with two elemental items.

PlayStation Plus Premium and Extra have been around for almost two years, and during that time the subscription service has established itself as an ample competitor to Xbox Game Pass. That means there is a wealth of great games for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 owners to check out if they're looking for something to play this weekend. I think PS Plus subscribers should be looking toward some of the more underrated games in the subscription service this weekend too.

I have three particular picks in mind. The first is an enjoyable Metroidvania that came to PS Plus' game catalog when it launched just a couple of weeks ago and deserves a lot more attention than it's getting. After that, there's an action-platformer that pays homage to series like Ninja Gaiden that you should check out before it leaves the catalog. Finally, there's a PS2-era Star Wars game that fills the niche a recently canceled game would have.
