The previously teased Batman: Arkham Origins add-on content featuring Mr. Freeze is now official, bearing the title Cold, Cold Heart and an April 22 release date on PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. It explores the history of Batman’s relationship with the icy supervillain, taking a look at what we presume will be their first proper encounter. The newly released trailer – specifically, the image of the “Wayne Foundation Humanitarian of the Year” trophy – suggests that Cold, Cold Heart draws some inspiration from the Mr. Freeze origin story established in Batman: The Animated Series.

The trailer pops up at around the one-minute mark in the latest episode of DC Entertainment’s DC All Access Web series. It’s followed by a brief chat about what to expect from the DLC. It’s a proper story mission set in Arkham Origins‘ open world of Gotham City. Batman dons a new suit in the early going of the add-on content – an “XC” suit, that protects against extreme conditions – that helps keep him safe and non-hypothermic in his struggle against Freeze.

Check out the trailer in the below embed.

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.

Three phone screens with the PlayStation Stars app.

I wouldn't blame you if you forgot PlayStation Stars existed. In fact, I would guess the majority of people out there have no idea what that even is, but PlayStation's reward program deserves more attention than it's getting.

Launched in the summer of 2022, PlayStation Stars is a program meant to reward players for engaging with the PlayStation ecosystem. You can take on challenges to earn digital collectibles and, more importantly, coins that can be redeemed for games, store credit, and some premium in-game currencies.
