Catwoman returns in Batman: Arkham Knight’s Dawn of Justice DLC, out now

It has been nearly six months since the launch of Batman: Arkham Knight, and the final chapter in Rocksteady’s series has received quite a few pieces of DLC during that time. Unfortunately, most of them are underwhelming — you can beat several of the pre-order bonus packs in less than an hour — but today’s update looks to pump you up for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice with a few movie-inspired skins and another chance to play as Catwoman.

The new update, which includes content available to buy starting today, includes both Batsuit and Batmobile skins inspired by the upcoming Dawn of Justice film. Rocksteady’s Guy Perkins says that the studio worked “extremely closely with the movie production team” to ensure that the Batmobile looked as authentic as possible, and the pack will be available for free next week. If you have the season pass, the skins are available right now.

The Catwoman DLC in Arkham City was terrific, and Rocksteady is hoping that lightning can strike twice with Catwoman’s Revenge, as well as the Robin-focused Flip of a Coin DLC. Catwoman’s portion sees her getting revenge on the Riddler for leaving her stuck in a trap-filled room for most of the game, while Robin is tasked with tracking down an escaped Two Face.

If you’re tired of fighting the same henchmen over and over again, the Catwoman episode might be for you: She’ll be snapping green robot heads, instead, as payback for all the times the androids killed her when she was playing Alien: Isolation. The episodes also include extra AR challenges, as well as the ability to select characters in the “Silent Predator” maps.

Unfortunately, if you’re playing on PC, new DLC is probably the last thing you want. As we reported last month, even after months of retooling, that version of the game is still almost unplayable.

Epic Games just teased a Fallout and Fortnite crossover

With Fallout being everywhere right now, it's only fair that it joins Fortnite, too. Epic Games teased on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday that the iconic open-world RPG series will be coming to Fortnite.

While there aren't any public details yet on what will be offered during this collaboration, we can expect some Fallout-themed weapons and some skins. Maybe a vault dweller suit or some power armor? Since Epic put a thumbs-up emoji in the caption, it's safe to assume that Vault Boy will be involved.

Deadlock is a new hero shooter developed by Valve, according to leaks

Valve might be more known for its Steam Deck handheld and its video game retail platform Steam these days, but according to leaks, the company is working on its next game —  a third-person, hero-based shooter known as Deadlock.

Screenshots of the game and basic details were posted on X (formerly Twitter) by noted Valve game data miner Gabe Follower and on YouTube by Tyler McVicker, who also has a proven track record of leaking Valve info. Both posted about Deadlock first on Thursday, saying it would feature teams of six battling each other on a map with four lanes. It would also feature art that looks inspired by DOTA, the company's multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) series, with steampunk mixed in for good measure.

The best games you can beat in a day

Games have steadily become larger and larger as the generations go on. Thanks to the most advanced console and PC technology, developers are able to craft massive worlds and stories that would have been impossible in the past. While many of us enjoy sinking our teeth into a meaty 100-hour-long game from time to time, eventually fatigue will set in. That's where games on the other end of the spectrum come in. These games aren't afraid to tell a tight, compact story, or to explore a single gameplay concept, and then call it a day without stretching things out. They are no less impactful or memorable than their massive counterparts, and may even be superior in some player's eyes. Here are a few of the best games you can beat in a single day to cleanse your palate with some more experimental titles.
